A Guide to Spiritual Tourism in India

From time immemorial, man has searched for inner peace, serenity and tranquility. The rush of daily living, and the fight to survive in this sometimes cruel world, produces tremendous stress, and stress is something that silently steals into man's system. It almost paralyses the heart, mind and brain. All wise women/men spoke about the need for solitude, the need to be in the presence of beauty. Man's soul yearns for loveliness, for quiet, and for peace.

India is a land of great natural beauty. One only has to find it.

'A Guide to Spiritual Tourism in India' focuses on some of the places that you could go to, to gain that peace and solitude your soul needs. Spiritual holidays in India could be trekking in the Himalayas, staying at wildlife sanctuaries, beaches, and yoga and meditation retreats. This guide focuses on holidays in tune with Nature. It has information about the place, kind of experience it offers, accommodation options and contact details.

If you choose one of the treks, you will find yourself stretching your body to cope with the rigors of the trek. Automatically, your mind and heart expand to absorb the sheer beauty all around you. The sanctuaries mentioned here will show you where you can go to be with animals in their natural habitat.

By watching them, you will feel a sense of responsibility. By living with them, you will feel the peace they feel, and the connection they have with Nature. Likewise, should you choose to go to one of the beaches mentioned, remember that you are like a grain of sand on the beach, and everything falls into perspective. You realize that those urban troubles can be coped with.

Yoga and meditation are practices that you should ideally follow at home. Often, this is not possible. There are too many demands not only on your time, but also on your person. Going to one of the retreats mentioned here reinforces these practices, and you will be able to feel their benefits. Then, maybe, when you get home, you will make sure that you set aside some time either for yoga or for meditation.

In any case, no matter where you are, do set aside time for deep breathing and meditation. It really sets things right. There are many people who prefer to go on pilgrimages to connect with themselves. These pilgrimage centres are all in exquisitely beautiful places. This connection between the beauty of Nature and your deep spiritual core is what you need to find. Having found this, you will always have that feeling of tranquility in the deep recesses of your heart.

This is your secret garden, and this is where you can go in times of stress. Life is not only about making ends meet, it is also about recognizing the grandeur of the world in which we live; understanding the connectivity between man and Nature. To make sense out of life, you need to be alone, and in the quiet, magnificent beauty of Nature, you will find yourself, and you will find the strength that living needs.
