🌿 Radha Kund Parikrama – Discovering the Hidden Sacred Sites 🌿

Most people who visit Radha Kund know the main ghats—but very few explore the lesser-known places of spiritual power hidden in the narrow lanes and quiet corners around it.

A group of us recently did a special parikrama, visiting these rarely seen spots connected to the early days of Vrindavan’s spiritual history. When the Goswamis were first establishing Vrindavan, Radha Kund was a central place for deep sadhana and tapasya. It was mostly forest then, and many great saints came here to absorb the spiritual energy of the place before beginning their service across Vraj and India.

The land here is not only holy because of Radha and Krishna’s pastimes, but also because of the intense sadhana of saints who lived and meditated here. Their presence has left a lasting spiritual imprint on the area.

This was just one of the many experiences we plan to include in our upcoming spiritual journeys in Vraj.

✨ Days 7–9 of the Himalayan Journey with Swami Sharada ✨
A Sacred Finale: Valley of Flowers, Devprayag & Rishikesh 🌸🏞️🕉️

These final days took us deep into the spiritual heart of the Himalayas.

We reached the legendary Valley of Flowers—a UNESCO World Heritage site blooming with over 500 species of wildflowers and home to rare wildlife. At nearly 3,600 meters, we climbed through clouds and mist until we found a space to sit and do Om Chanting and meditate for Mother Earth 🌍❤️.

Swami Sharada explained this was the very place where the ancient rishis first created and practiced Om Chanting—a sacred moment of reconnecting with that timeless vibration.

Afterward, some trekked higher to Hemkund Sahib, a revered Sikh pilgrimage site, while others stayed to absorb the silence and beauty of the valley.

Evenings were spent in satsang, including a beautiful talk on what it means to be a devotee. And by Guruji’s grace, three new devotees took their first steps on the path.

On the final day, the group journeyed to Devprayag, where the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda rivers merge to form the holy Ganga. Many took a dip at this powerful confluence—a moment of deep inner purification.

We then visited the Vasishta Cave, where we meditated in silence in the same spot where the ancient sage once practiced austerity. And finally, we arrived in Rishikesh, where we visited temples, including the mahasamadhi shrine of Swami Sivananda, absorbing the living energy still present in that sacred space.

As Swami Sharada put it on the last day:
“After the Himalayas, we will never be the same.”
And it’s true. 🙏🏼

🌄 Himalayan Journey – Days 4–6
with Swami Sharada

The past few days took us deeper into the Garhwal Himalayas—through quiet mountain towns, ancient temples, and places rich with presence.

🛕 Adi Badri was peaceful and nearly empty. The black stone murti stood silent and powerful among smaller shrines.
🦁 In Joshimath, we visited the Narasimha temple. The deity is said to be shifting slowly—a quiet sign of change. Its gaze felt calm, almost protective.
🌳 At Adi Shankaracharya’s cave, there was no show—just the simplicity of sitting where great minds once meditated.

🧘‍♂️ Vriddha Badri and Yogadhyan Badri carried a gentle stillness. Their stories—of reflection, of the Pandavas—felt close and real.
🏔️ Badrinath was alive with movement, but the temple still held a deep strength. Just arriving there felt meaningful.
🏡 In Mana Village, we explored sacred caves, crossed Bhim Pul, and spoke with locals living at the edge of myth and mountain.

We’ve covered a lot in just a few days—physically and inwardly. The group is settling into the rhythm of the journey, and there’s a quiet sense of reflection growing as we continue on.

🕉✨ Himalayas Journey with Swami Sharada – Days 1 to 3 ✨🕉

The journey began, and something shifted inside us... being together again in the sacred mountains with Swami Sharada has already become an experience we’ll never forget 🌄💫

Day 1: Our hearts opened as we sang Hanuman Chalisa together and listened to Swamiji share stories of saints while winding through the mountain roads. Half the group had been with us before, while for others, it’s their first time in India! 🧡
We visited Kainchi Dham—where Neem Karoli Baba’s joyful, playful spirit is still so tangible—and Kakri Ghat, home of the peaceful and miraculous Sombari Baba. The love here is undeniable.

Day 2: A day of the Divine Mother 🌺 We greeted the dawn at Kasar Devi with Atma Kriya and OM Chanting overlooking a panoramic mountain view.
The vibrations of this ancient Devi temple—aligned with the Van Allen Belt—were truly powerful. Later at Dunagiri Devi, we bowed before two naturally formed shaligrams representing Her hands, each with five fingers visible. Being in the place where Babaji initiated Lahiri Mahasaya left us speechless.

Day 3: Dedicated to Mahavatar Babaji and the Pandavas, we took our first steep mountain trek to Pandukholi Ashram. The climb was intense, but the silence at the top was even more powerful.
We meditated above the valley cliffs, near black murtis of Babaji and His sister Mataji, and stone symbols of the Pandavas. Then we visited the famous Babaji Cave, where Babaji appeared to His disciple, Lahiri Mahasaya.

📿 Upper Mustang Journey | Days 10–12 - The Final Days

As the final leg of the journey began, the group left the wild, sacred landscapes of Upper Mustang and flew back to the bustle of Kathmandu — carrying with them not only memories, but a quiet inner shift that’s hard to put into words.

Their next steps took them to Bhaktapur, the “City of Devotees.” Once the capital of Nepal, its cobbled streets, ancient temples, and rich Newari culture offered a deep sense of history and devotion still alive in daily life. It was a softer, grounded contrast to the raw energy of the Himalayas.

From there, the group visited Changunarayan, Nepal’s oldest Hindu temple, perched on a peaceful hilltop. Surrounded by forest and silence, the ancient carvings and sacred stories held space for reflection — a place where time seemed to pause.

In Nagarkot, they woke before dawn to witness one of the journey’s most breathtaking moments: the sunrise stretching across the Himalayan range. At over 2,000 metres, the view was expansive and humbling — a reminder of the vastness they had traveled through, both outside and within.

On the final day, they celebrated Narasimha Chaturdashi, together with some local devotees from Nepal. To be able to celebrate with abhishekam and yagna for Simhachalam Narasimha, who accompanied the group from the start, made this moment feel especially meaningful. It was the sweetest ending to the trip.

This journey may have ended, but something lasting has been set in motion.
On each journey like this, it’s as if you pass through a curtain of light — and all the batteries inside of you get recharged.

Bhakti Bharat
