SPIRITUAL JOURNEY WITH SWAMI PARANTHAPA
- 20-29 November 2026
- Registration is open until 10 October 2026
- Language: English
Vraj is a sacred space that reveals itself to those who come with a sincere heart. We invite you on a special journey into the hidden heart of Vraj — beyond the famous temples and well-known paths.
Together with Swami Paranthapa, we will visit secluded sacred places, meet saints and sadhus who have chosen to live quietly in Vraj, hear their stories and teachings, and experience a living spiritual tradition that continues to thrive here today.
Two especially meaningful moments of the journey will be the celebration of Tulsi Vivaha — the sacred wedding of Tulsi and Vishnu — and Kartik Night, a special night of the holy month of Kartik, filled with light, kirtan, prayer and remembrance of Radha and Krishna.
More than visiting sacred places, this is an opportunity to experience Vraj through the eyes of those who have dedicated their lives to this holy land.
TRIP HIGHLIGHTS
MEETINGS WITH LIVING SAINTS
Meet saints and spiritually realized souls whose lives are fully dedicated to God, with the opportunity to sit with them, ask sincere questions, hear their wisdom and receive their blessings.
After years of living in Vrindavan and building relationships with saints throughout Braj, we are able to share encounters that most visitors would rarely have the opportunity to experience.
JOURNEYS THROUGH THE SACRED PLACES OF BRAJ
Journey to Govardhan, Barsana, Nandgaon and other sacred places where the hills, temples and ancient paths preserve the intimate leelas of Radha and Krishna.
Go beyond the well-known sites to discover hidden places and stories that bring the spiritual world of Braj to life.
TULSI VIVAHA & KARTIK NIGHT
Celebrate Tulsi Vivaha and Kartik Night during one of the most sacred times of the year in Vrindavan, surrounded by devotion, music and joyful worship.
Gather together to remember Krishna’s sweetest leelas, sing and dance, and offer lamps at His Feet in the intimate devotional atmosphere for which Kartik in Braj is known.
SATSANGS, STORIES & LIVING TRADITIONS
Go deeper into the spiritual world of Braj through satsangs, talks and stories about its saints, sacred places and divine leelas.
Hear teachings and unique accounts gathered from saints and local traditions—stories rarely found in guidebooks or online.
SATYA NARAYANA PUJA
Take part in the sacred Satya Narayana Puja, a traditional ceremony dedicated to Lord Satyanarayana, a form of Lord Vishnu associated with truth, devotion and divine grace.
Through prayers, offerings, sacred stories and prasad, we come together in gratitude and seek the Lord’s blessings for harmony, protection and spiritual well-being.

WHAT DO PEOPLE SAY

'Talking to the Saints' 2025.
if you can't believe your eyes, listen to your heart and soul. You can't understand Vrindavan with your mind—you can only feel it. This place changes you, transforms you, and seems to gently reveal your inner self, bringing you back to what matters most—love, silence, and your true essence. “Talking to the Saints” and ashram became a space for me to engage in deep inner work, find peace, and draw inspiration. I want to go back again…

I took home so much warmth, light, and inner peace, and it’s all thanks to you and the atmosphere you created. Thank you for such thoughtful, heartfelt organization, for your attention, for your open hearts, and for your sincere care. I could feel it in every moment. This trip really helped me put things in perspective—it helped me reconnect with myself, find focus, feel acceptance, experience inner stillness, and reconnect with my spirituality. It’s priceless. With deep gratitude and warmth, I look forward to our next meeting. Thank you for everything!

'Bhakti Dham' 2025.
It was an amazing and wonderful time, sooo precious and sooo full of blessings ❤️. We had the grace to meet every day (!) several saints! During this time something inwardly changed for me. Before this week, I tried to understand bhakti through the different nine forms ... After, I realised, that it's not about the nine forms, but about BHAKTI! It's Just Love for the Divine - and we can find the forms in it, yes, but absolute foremost is Just Love! It was so beautiful to be in the presence of the different Saints and to perceive their bhavas. It's difficult to put in words, what I feel. But I really can recommend this week with the Saints and the Sangha.
