Immerse yourself in the living heart of Indian spirituality. From the roaring shores of Jagannath Puri to the serene temples of Sri Rangam, this 15-day journey traces the very footsteps of Sri Krishna Chaitanya–the extraordinary person who started the Kirtan revolution and Bhakti renaissance in the 15th century. 

We’ll travel through temple towns, forests, riverbanks, and coastal sanctuaries—experiencing sacred art, ancient devotional traditions, and profound cultural heritage. This is a bhakti yoga immersion like no other, and we are joined by a very special guide: Deva Madhava Das–founder of the Harmony Collective in Michigan and renowned teacher of Krishna bhakti.
