Cambodia & its magnificent temples formed a perfect backdrop for one of the most amazing Inner Awakenings ever. Cambodia's deep cultural and religious connection with India & Hinduism, and the fact that the Pallava, Chola and Pandya kingdoms from South India played a crucial part in building the magnificent temples there served as a perfect complement to the mystical processes. The participants visited Angor Wat, Bayon and other amazing temples almost every other day. The visits allowed for the intensity of the "Shiva Bodha" - the ecstasy of being Shiva – created by the process to settle in the participants between sessions. Each temple was more wondrous than the previous. The participants marveled at the size of Angor Wat, stared adoringly at the miles of bas-relief friezes depicting stories from Ramayana and Mahabharata. They admired the architecture of Bayon temple, and its stupendous face-towers, and were awe-struck by the temple-pyramid at BakseiChamkrong. The participants lived in a luxurious resort hotel, and enjoyed excellent Ayurvedic food designed by Swamiji and cooked by chefs brought in especially from India. Above all they were charmed by the grace, kindness and hospitality of the people of Cambodia, who were sweet, generous, and prefect hosts.
