A Spiritual Family Vacation with Sri Hari

with Sadhvi Vrinda and other Ashram residents

The idea of this vacation started with the simple thought of going back to our roots. In the olden times, people in India went on pilgrimages with their families whenever they went on a vacation. These days we holiday in the most popular destinations, run up bills in expensive hotels and scream our lungs out on roller coasters, yet the desire to experience something more lasting and spiritual never really leaves us. Many a times we return even more exhausted, in dire need of another vacation to recover from our vacation.

What if, as families we took a spiritual vacation, spending our time silencing our mind and basking in the glory of the resplendent Lord Narayana and Mother Divine, in the serene lap of lofty mountains of Sri Badrika Ashram?

This summer, we hope to offer you a little oasis of devotion and spiritual cleansing in the gentle and cool shade of Sri Hari. A time to bond with your family. If it’s your connect with Bhagwan that you are looking to strengthen, we cordially invite you to A Spiritual Vacation with us. You can have a look at the programme schedule to see if this is something that interests you.
