Ariana D. - Temple Tour Attendee 2018

Tamil Nadu, South India Temple Tour

10 Day Elemental Temple Tour & Nadi Astrology: November 28 - December 7

Get ready for a gritty, heart-opening, and life-altering adventure! 


What this Tour is About:

Experience the 5 Elemental Temples of South India and visit a small village for a Nadi Palm Leaf Astrology Reading. This will be Allison's 4th time leading a Temple Tour in South India and she has worked closely with K. Sridhar and his wife Camilla who have led tours in India for decades. They have coached her well and she is grateful to them for their support, encouragement, and love.

The 5 elements are the building blocks of our material world; earth, water, fire, air, and ether. The way they mix, and our ability to interact with them well, determines our experience of reality on both gross and subtle levels.

By taking a pilgrimage to these temples, we are working subtly with Reality in an effort to understand our current situation and to engage with Reality optimally. Allison will give short teachings on the elements at each of the temples we visit. Some of these temples are over a thousand years old and have been conducting the same daily rituals for over a millenia. The energetic quality of each temple is palpable and healing in and of itself, but we will do a group puja at each temple which will give your prayers and mantras a way to be ritualized and heard.


What is Nadi Palm Leaf Astrology?

Nadi Palm Leaf Astrology is a very mysterious branch of Jyotish. In Allison's experience (and that of her teachers) the Nadi Readings can be eerily accurate in seeing the past but they have varied results in their ability to accurately predict the future. We must approach these readings with an open mind and a "we shall see" attitude. 

Millenia ago, sages meditated and received information about beings that had yet to be born but would be seeking Indian wisdom and guidance in the future. These sages recorded what they heard by writing it on palm leafs. Included on these scrolls is information about our past life, this life, and the future. 


Includes:

  • 2-3 vegetarian meals a day
  • light snacks throughout the day
  • clean water
  • fresh fruit juices
  • the best coffee in the world
  • accommodations, ideally solo a/c rooms but please be flexible
  • land travel by van, bus, and tuk tuk
  • an experienced personal driver
  • a group puja (ritual) at each elemental temple
  • qualified local temple guides at each temple
  • a nadi astrology reading with a competent english translator
  • Allison as your personal concierge every step of the way, helping you get prepared and organized for the trip, as well as helping you understand and adopt the cultural norms in India. 


 Planning ahead and other details:

  • Contact Allison here to introduce yourself and ask questions. She has several documents to share about what to expect, how to plan, and what to bring that she will send in March after you've registered.
  • The closest airport is Chennai, Tamil Nadu, airport code MAA. You will need a passport and an Indian Visa.
  • 5 person minimum and 12 person maximum 
  • There are no guarantees for a solo room or for air conditioning. It's fair to assume that some of the time you will be in a shared room, though every effort will be made to give everyone a solo a/c room with a private bathroom as often as is possible. Depending on availability, you might have a solo room each night.
  • This is not a resort style tour, it is a devotional immersion inside of the culture that birthed Yoga, Vedanta, and Buddhism. We will be visiting very old villages and respectfully experiencing and participating in their devotional practices.
  • This tour is alcohol and meat free. If you are gluten sensitive you should have no problem in India as many of the breads are made from lentils and grains other than wheat, and rice is plentiful. If you are dairy free we can also accommodate.
  • There is a possibility that one or more of Allison's teachers will join us (!!) which will undoubtedly enhance the experience for all.
