"Light a lamp within your heart and watch the darkness disappear."
Join Ashraf Mystic in the magical desert city of Jaisalmer for a unique celebration of Diwali, India's beloved Festival of Lights.
For five unforgettable days, immerse yourself in the colors, traditions, music, and spiritual essence of Diwali while experiencing the beauty of Rajasthan's culture and hospitality. Together we will celebrate light, gratitude, friendship, and renewal through meditation, sacred music, traditional rituals, village encounters, and joyful festivities.
As thousands of lamps illuminate homes and temples across India, we will explore the deeper meaning of Diwali: awakening the inner light that already shines within us.
Each day includes meditation, satsang, music, cultural activities, and opportunities to connect with local traditions. Evenings are filled with lamp-lighting ceremonies, devotional music, storytelling, and festive gatherings beneath the desert sky.
Whether you are seeking spiritual renewal, cultural immersion, or simply a meaningful way to celebrate Diwali, this retreat offers an authentic and heart-centered experience in one of India's most enchanting destinations.
