2006 Chandigarh—Rishkesh with Komilla Sutton
The main focus of this trip was to study with Komilla. The courses were on Shodasa Varga and Palmistry. Sanskrit was taught by Dr Ajit Sinha and Yoga by Shiv Kumar. We visited Kurukshetra and its many pilgrimage sites including Jyoti Sar, the place where the message of Bhagawad Geeta was given. There was a wonderful trip to Anandpursahib, the birth place of Sikhism. Then the group moved to Rishikesh where we stayed at the Glass House hotel on the ganges – there were evening aarati at Rishikesh and our own puja to Ganges at the hotel.
