Experience Enlightenment and Healing:
Spiritual tours to India are a very unique and wonderful opportunity to open up a completely different world from the mainstream tourist visits. Bharati will lead you through Shivaratri 2020. During this 12-day journey in February, she will pass along her longtime spiritual knowledge, offer new perspectives, and create the setting for a transformation of the soul.
The Festival of Shivaratri:
The fourteenth day of every lunar month, or the day before the new moon, is known as Shivaratri. Among the twelve Shivaratri that occur in a calendar year, the one that occurs in the month of February or March holds the most spiritual significance. Shiva is the very energy on which the entire creation rests. This energy pervades the entire universe and is present in every living being.
Traditions during this festival are performing poojas, meditating and reciting mantras. These sacred practices bestow a sense of peace and oneness within us and with the world. Lord Shiva is considered the soul of everything. There is no difference between our soul and Lord Shiva. All longing to know the unbounded, all longing to know the oneness in the Existence is yoga. The word “yogi” means one who has realized the oneness of the Existence. Shivaratri offers a person, or a yogi, an opportunity to experience this. It is an opportunity for you to dissolve your limitedness and to experience the unboundedness of the Source of creation.
The Night of Shiva:
Shivaratri is a festival that honors Lord Shiva. This is known as the day that Lord Shiva married Goddess Parvati. It is also believed that worshipping Lord Shiva on this day helps rid one of all the sins.
It is the time for our inner consciousness to come alive within our body. Meditation gives access to something beyond the scope of the mind and intellect, into a higher consciousness. Surrendering to this consciousness is having faith that there is a divine power that is taking care of us. Since Lord Shiva symbolizes truth, peace, beauty, and infinity, He represents the essence of our soul as well. It is what we are made of.
Open Heart, Open Mind:
A journey like this brings us to the very core of the soul. Concepts of spirituality are turned upside down and give your soul the possibility to experience deep inner clarity. It will be a transformational process for each participant of this journey. Truly everyone who has accompanied Bharati on these journeys has come back altered with a deeper knowledge and understanding of what living spiritually really means. India has many secrets and ancient wisdom, and we are so excited to share these with you!
Where We’re Staying:
Our journey begins in Bangalore, where we will visit the first three days of wonderful temples. After these three days we will travel together in a bus to Tiruvannamalai. Tiruvannamalai is a little town at the foot of the holy mountain Arunachala, which is considered to be a manifestation of Shiva. Many Indians from the North travel South to visit Arunachala on a pilgrimage to walk around the Arunachala; this act is known as Pradakshina.

About your guide: Bharati Corinna Glanert
In 2001 my spiritual way led me to the south of India, where I was initiated into the ancient Vedic knowledge. This wisdom is protected and is only accessible to a very small number of sacred seekers. I was led into deeply spiritual processes at highly energetic places of power – all in all, I’ve practiced ten years of most intense Sadhana meditation.
After more than a decade as a healer, I am continuing tirelessly to search for new techniques to expand consciousness, and I share my knowledge during my travels. Priorities of my work are astral travels/out of body experiences, lucid dreams, darkness retreats and energetic work with mantras/yantras.
Through seminars, webinars and individual consultations, I pass on my knowledge to truly interested spiritual seekers. Above all, it is important to me to pass on knowledge and techniques that will help you to come into your own power. Since 2008 I have been organising spiritual retreats and trips to special places of power in India and Thailand, and in collaboration with my husband Balakrishna since 2013.
