GANGĀ YĀTRĀ 2025 • SEP 11 – OCT 2
Join the Moses family and friends on an epic journey along India’s sacred mother river Ganga, from source to sea. The main aim of this pilgrimage will be to follow the Ganga River from near its source at Gangotri to Ganga Sagar where She merges with the Bay of Bengal. We will bathe in Her holy waters along the route in as many places as possible. We will worship Her image in Her temple at Gangotri and carry water from there to offer into the ocean at Ganga Sagar. Science has shown that droplets of water carry our thoughts.* For eons, pilgrims in India have gone to the sacred rivers to pray and meditate. We can be absorbed in their spiritual vibrations and add ours as well. As a group of like-minded people dedicated to expanding our consciousness, we can help our families, friends, and even our ancestors find peace and happiness. Join us on this adventure – you will not regret it and will never forget it. This will be our Sixteenth Yatra (pilgrimage) in India! Fill in the reservation form below to reserve a place. Limited to 30 people total.
