Pilgrimage to India: the Three Jewels Of: Varanasi, Bodh-Gaya and Delhi ZENITH on the road Pilgrimage to India: The Three Jewels of: Varanasi, Bodh-Gaya and Delhi February 27th – March 11th 2013 Atum O’Kane With the support of Emmanuel O’Kane and Zahir Roehrs A journey for pilgrims honoring the heart and soul in all that we meet, in each other and ourselves. In Varanasi we will be staying on the banks of the Holy River, Ma Ganga, the center of the Hindu world. Indian music concerts, a timeless boat ride at dawn, and the ritual life of this sacred and ancient city create memories for a life time. In Bodh-Gaya is the source and center of the Buddhist world, meditating by the Bodhi tree where Buddha reached illumination, in the midst of monks and pilgrims from all the branches of the tradition, is a profound blessing. We will also practice at beautiful temples that represent Buddhism as empresses in various cultures. In Delhi we will encounter the presence of the Sufi Masters Hazrat Inayat Khan and Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan at their tombs. Essential elements of their luminous teachings on Universal Sufism and the emerging consciousness of our time will be shared. A visit to the Hope Project, which serves the local community, and exploring the vibrant world of Old Delhi will engage us in the vivid and colorful daily life of this city. Ours will be a spiritual journey in which we will focus upon visiting shrines imbued with the presence of those beings and events which have deeply inspired humanity. We will also be attentive to the internal sacred landscapes of our own heart.

Many participants on our previous tours have been with us on several pilgrimages and often speak about the whole experience, inner and outer, shared with others, which makes this a very special time. This is also a time of sharing with others; our groups are always international, often with participants from 5-6 different countries. We have found that this greatly contributes to the richness of the experience. As on all our tours we will try to leave plenty of free time whenever possible for you to explore the surroundings on your own or in small groups. We will not try to see everything to be seen, but rather strike a balance between the outer and inner “sightseeing”.

    NAMES OF TRAINS Agniveena Express 2341/ 2342 Howrah – Asansol (ER Howrah division) In Bangla it means “The Fiery Lute”. This is the name given to the collection of poems by the celebrated Bengali poet, musician, revolutionary and philosopher, Kazi Nazrul Islam. He was born in Burdwan district in 1899 and died in Dhaka in 1976. He is the national poet of Bangladesh, and also honoured in India. Ahilyanagari Express 6325/ 6326 Indore – Thiruvananthapuram Central (SR Thiruvananthapuram division) Rajmata Ahilyadevi Holkar (1725-1795, ruled 1767-1795) also known as the Philosopher Queen was a Holkar dynasty Queen of the Malwa kingdom. She took over reigns of the kingdom after the death of her husband and father-in-law. She moved the capital to Maheshwar south of Indore on the Narmada River. She also built temples and Dharamshalas (free lodging)at sacred sites outside her kingdom, at prominent religious places like Dwarka, Kashi Vishwanath in Varanasi, Ujjain, Nasik, Parli Vaijnath and Somnath. The city of Indore is sometimes called Ahilyanagari in her memory. Ahimsa Express 1095/ 1096 Ahmadabad – Pune (CR Pune division) The name is also sometimes given to 1087/ 1088 Veraval – Pune Express, 1089/ 1090 Jodhpur – Pune Express and 1091/ 1092 Bhuj – Pune Express, as all these trains are “derived” from 1095/ 1096. Ahimsa is a Sanskrit term meaning “to do no harm” (literally, the avoidance of violence or himsa). Ahimsa was one of the main principles which Gandhiji followed in his life. Pune was the place where Gandhiji was imprisoned and where his wife passed away, and Ahmadabad was where he set up his Ashram.
