Back to Top Chapter 10: Kali Bari Temple, New Delhi From Rishikesh we returned to the home of Sanjay Baba in New Delhi. This home acts as our hub where we gather as we travel to and from the various locations in the northern part of India. Near to the house there is a very […]

Travelogue: Bengaluru & Mysore From the Nilgiri Hills we headed by car to Bangalore to visit the home of Srini and Ramya. The ride from Nilgiri Hills to Bangalore was about seven hours in length, but we passed through both an elephant sanctuary and a tiger sanctuary, which held our attention. These sanctuaries are actually […]
Our journey took us south to the beautiful Nilgiri Hills (also called Nilgiri Mountains) in the state of Tamil Nadu. The Nilgiris are home to majestic mountain ranges that touch the clouds, colorful flowers, amazing wildlife, and expansive tea gardens. We planned a short, few day visit to the Nilgiri Hills this year, but remembering […]

Through their example, they inspired so many devotees to lead a life of worshiping the Divine. Whether they were in the simple rural places of India or …read more
From Digboi we traveled southwest to the populous city of Mumbai, located in the state of Maharashtra. I have to admit that I wasn’t very excited to visit Mumbai. It is a big noisy city with lots of traffic and walls of people in constant motion. However, I got a fresh perspective of modern Mumbai […]
We flew from New Delhi to Dibrugaurh, in the State of Assam. From there, we traveled by car to Digboi, the birthplace of Shree Maa. Assam is a state in the north-eastern region of India, connected to India mainland through West Bengal. This beautiful land is located south of the eastern Himalayas and is well-known […]
Our stay in Rishikesh was drawing to a close. Devotees from all over India were calling from their hearts for Shree Maa and Swamiji to come see them, and we knew it was time to move forward on our journey. First though, prior to departing, Swami Ramkripaluji made one small request of Shree Maa and […]
As we walk down this path, we will inevitably find many trials along our way. One of the simplest practices to help us on our way is reciting the name of God, of the Divine Mother!
This wonderful poem brings us to a beautiful contemplation of calling out for Mother, repeating Her name, and the ultimate surrendering to Her will that follows.…read more
Tap….Tap….Tap…. was the sound of Swamiji’s walking stick as we sauntered down the cemented sidewalk that runs adjacent to the Ganges River. It was nice to breathe in the fresh air, which gently rolled off the river as if it were blessing us with its darshan. I felt doubly blessed this beautiful morning to also […]
There are a few temples in the area of Rishikesh that are especially loved by Shree Maa and Swamiji. They almost always visit them whenever they come to Rishikesh, and even when they don’t, they send other devotees to these temples on their behalf with their blessings. The favorite temples in the Rishikesh area are […]
There are several other notable temples in the city of Katra and the larger region of Jammu-Kashmir that we simply were not able to visit due to time constraints. But Shree Maa and Swamiji cleverly narrowed down the temple selection to a few quiet temples in which they thought we would be able to worship […]
