Wishing You a Heart full of Meraki

In Greece, “Meraki” is something you do with passion, from the heart, with absolute devotion, and undivided attention—similar to the total devotion of a mother to her child.  Below is the Aegina Temple, dedicated to the mother-goddess Aphaia.  Like the goddess Athena, Aphaia existed in the time of Treta Yuga.

Before and during our pilgrimage tour you’ll learn what happened thousands of years ago in Greece through the lens of the “Yuga Cycles of Time”—a 24,000-year Vedic calendar that offers clues to our own past, present and enlightened future.  Our pre-tour online classes will help you learn more about the yuga cycles and prepare you for this epic journey. 

On the island of Santorini, we’ll explore, snorkel, or enjoy an all-day catamaran and sunset tour with just our group.  Greece, Crete and Santorini each offer unique cultural and cuisine experiences that make for a fun and relaxing vacation.

What was happening in Egypt in the descending yuga cycles of time?  Like the ceiling of this Hathor Temple in Dendera, clues to Egypt’s past civilization indicate a consciousness much higher than most people realize. 

Before we depart on this grand pilgrimage tour of Egypt, you’ll get 7-weeks of optional once-weekly, online classes that offer a depth of study most tourists will never encounter.  

Were the Egyptian pyramids really built with consciousness from a higher age?  What mystery in the holy Egyptian city of Abydos holds the key to an ancient spiritual value depicting the fundamental forms of time and space?

You’ll also have the opportunity to sail down the Nile River on a beautiful Egyptian Dahabiya just for our group, offering 5-star experiences unlike regular tourist cruises.  We’ll stop at ancient temples along the Nile, visit island sanctuaries and imbibe in the exotic culture that makes for a memorable vacation.

Prayer Demand for Devotion

(from Yogananda’s Whispers from Eternity)

“Teach me to saturate my prayers with thy love. Give me the simple, sincere devotion toward Thee of a child. Teach me to realize Thee just behind the voice of my prayer. Teach me to feel Thy breath flowing with my breath.  Teach me to cognize Thy presence in my emotions. Teach me to perceive Thy wisdom in my understanding.  Teach me to sense Thy all-pervading life in my life. Oh! Flood my senses with Thy light.”
