Devi Yatra is the first and only tour designed
as a seminar/pilgrimage to sites of Goddess Worship in India. India may
be the only civilization on earth whose ancient Goddess traditions have
survived intact into the twentieth century.
Visiting sites sacred to Sakti (a term for the Goddess which describes
Her basic aspect as primordial power) we will have a rare chance to imbibe
Her presence through the power of Her geographic space, darshan (sacred
vision) of Her many images, the rasa (aesthetic flavor) of her
art, dance and music, meetings with Her devotees, as well as lectures
and informal talks with Indian scholars and other religious specialists.

From the busy metropolitan centers of Delhi, Calcutta
and Madras, to the magnolia-laden jungles of Devipuram, from early morning
sunrise over the Indian Ocean, to evening arati on the River Ganges,
we will discover Devi's many aspects as She is worshipped daily in homes,
in ashrams and temples, even in caves hidden from public view. We offer
an experiential tour with options of yoga and meditation, and other group
activities.
If undertaken in a spirit of adventure and openness, I guarantee that
Devi Yatra will offer invaluable insights about ourselves, India, and
life. The Goddess gives back all that is offered to Her, and more!
