"For solid energy transfer to happen from the Master to the disciple, the energy field in which the transfer takes place is of utmost importance and these regions harbour pure and untouched energy, conducive for this."
- Paramahamsa
Paramahamsa leads groups of people from time to time to the Himalayas, Varanasi, Tiruvannamalai and other high energy centers, giving them many profound experiences and expounding on the Upanishads and other Vedic scriptures during these trips. Devotees have been fortunate to have visited the char dhaam - the 4 main holy shrines in the Uttaranchal region of the Himalayas that are Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri as part of these travels.
