These words best describe my experience in the YSS ashrams!

"Goodness gracious! Think where I have been!" What I saw and received in those few days has sweetened my whole life. That Elysian smile of his, laden with nectar, I have locked up in the secret closet of my memory. That is the unending treasure of a hapless person like myself. A thrill of joy passes through my heart when I think how a grain of the bliss shed from that laughter has been sweetening the lives of millions, even in distant America. If that be my case, you may very well understand how lucky you are.

From a letter written by Ashwini Kumar Dutta to "M" the recorder of the Gospel of Ramakrishna, Master Mahashaya also known from the Autobiography of Yogi as the blissful devotee.

A Spiritual Adventure

My Daughter Kali's impression:

India is a large country full of history, culture and spirituality surpassed by none. I admit it’s a daunting task to visit this place- the mosquitos alone should  be enough to send you running back onto the plane.

But if you push past the materialistic and enjoy the moment India lends its self to your personal growth so much. As hard as it is to live there it seems sometimes it’s easier on the soul. Everyone knows God is everywhere, but in India you KNOW God is everywhere. The feeling of peace and the love is unsurpassed.

I highly recommend staying only at the Ashrams when you visit. The presence, peace and love that you feel there are unbeatable. And the food’s great too!

432 hours in India! It has been, so far, the best 432 hours of my life.

It was just the two of us traveling so you can do it! Train rides to Puri and Ranchi, car trips to Vrindavan and Mathura and the Taj.  Give me a call if you want to go, I’m there.

Be fearless and be thou a yogi. See what 432 hours in India can do for you.

Namaste,

Tara
