With just one month away until we board our planes for the first ever Bhakti Yatra in India, we have already begun preparing physically and internally. Pilgrimages are no ordinary vacation, and India is no ordinary destination. They both require a tremendous amount of faith, patience, discipline, and trust in the Divine that all will go smoothy. And when it doesn't go smoothly, they require the awareness that it is not suppose to. We all are in it to get out of it what we are suppose to. There is no room for fear.

To prepare, we are currently building our bodies immune systems, while eating healthy and consciously. Yes, that means not overdoing it at holiday festivities (there goes all the fun!). It is important to prepare the body prior to a pilgrimage so we can be as strong as possible to ensure that our deeper layers can be ready to absorb the information that will be shared with us throughout our travels from the teachers, places, and experiences we encounter.

We are currently setting our intentions and studying texts on the sacred places and events we will be visiting so we won't miss a minute. One of the intentions we have set is to share as much as possible with the Bhakti Fest community via this blog in the hopes of inspiring YOU to dig deep and go on a pilgrimage of your own when the time is right. We look forward to embarking on the journey and sharing with the Bhakti Fest community.

It's been said the longest journey is from the head to the heart.
The ones that help guide you there are your travel agents.
The depth of your faith is the quality of your travel insurance.

See you along the way.

In Loving Service,
The Bhakti Fest Family
