• 1/25 Arrive Mumbai, check into first class hotel, visit various local spiritual attractions and end the day together with an amazing dinner.
• 1/26 Join Radhanath Swami in the Sri Sri Gopinath Temple to help with gathering flowers, and experience total bliss at the Flower Festival with a vegetarian feast to top off the day.

Experience yoga and fire ceremonies with Yogrishi Vishvketu, meditate in sacred caves, go river rafting in the Mighty Ganga, visit Holy sites, enjoy personal darshan with such Saints as Swami Chidananda, Swami Ramkripalu and others.
• 2/5-2/9 The Kumbh Mela is a mass Hindu pilgrimage of faith in which Hindus gather to bathe in a sacred river. It is the world’s largest religious gathering, and is held every third year at one of the four places by rotation: Haridwar, Allahabad (Prayag), Nasik and Ujjain. Special luxury accommodations for the group have been arranged, very close to the real, raw energy of this incredible experience. Sridhar has attended many Kumbh Mela and is knowledgable and especially adept at navigating the group through the large crowds.
