Details

Nestled in the rural hills of South India, there is a very special corner in the world where you will be supported to go inward, soften and allow yourself to feel it all. This immersive experience in the very motherland of Mantra Meditation is a unique and intimate opportunity to intentionally take a step away from the stresses and distractions of modern life and bathe in devotional spaces and daily practices designed to quiet the mind and open the heart, guided by musician and teacher Nadav Kahn. Our Pilgrimage will take our practice to sacred places starting at the Shiva Mountain (Divine Masculine), Arunachala in Tiruvannamalai. We take an exploration and mindful hike of the enlightened caves where sages and saints have meditated for centuries. Our next destination is the home of the Golden Temple of Lakshmi, Abode of the Mother (Divine Feminine). Here, we'll delve deep into practice and experience the rural village of Peedam, where temple life is guided by local Saint Sri Sakthi Narayani Amma. This Journey is for anyone who is seeking to deepen their connection to the Divine and develop a daily Mantra-based practice.

Testimonials

info

I am so grateful to have been in the right place at the right time, to be able to join Nadav in India. It was an added blessing to share the experience with a wonderful group, with Nadav facilitating our journey and opening the door for us to savour the magic of India, we quickly formed a deep connection and safe sharing space. From Tiruvannamalai with Nadav and with Saran our local guide, whose knowledge, energy and spiritual wisdom was exceptional, I truly discovered Arunachala and the teachings of Ramana Maharshi came to life. Then our phenomenal time in Peedam, home of Narayani Amma and the shakti aspect of our experience, mantra and Vedic practices- everything was beyond my expectation. Nadav's wealth of knowledge and experience, unique spiritual guidance and his many friends and contacts made the experience rich and unforgettable. Beautiful pujas and rituals, visiting the Green Shakti program, the schools and other initiatives was heartwarming and fulfilling. I felt well taken care of. The accommodation and food were of a excellent standard. Everything was organised well enough that I felt all my needs were met and at the same time there was flexibility so that we could take advantage and participate spontaneously in some of the very special opportunities that came our way unexpectedly. It was a magical time of deep learning, spiritual awakening and self exploration in the capable hands of Nadav. Om Namo Narayani.

The journey to India was a profoundly moving and inspiring trip for me. Having meditated for many years and being well versed in the practice of chanting mantra and kirtan, this trip exceeded all my expectations. With Nadav‘s beautiful voice, steady guidance, and vast know how of India, I went deeper in my practice than ever before. I found the caves, temples and spaces we practised in to be so energetically powerful and supportive of the whole experience. I absolutely loved it and highly recommend it to anyone who is drawn to these practices. Transformational!

Nadav’s guidance and embodiment during such a powerful pilgrimage was life-changing. The things I got to see and feel on the trip he led to India continue to bear fruit in my life even now. Permanent heart expansion and deep connection awaits.
