Tamil Nadu, South India Temple Tour
10 Day Elemental Temple Tour & Nadi Astrology: November 29 - December 8
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.
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.
