Virtual Power Journey
Join Ramakrishna and Bhramari for this powerful virtual retreat that will take you on a sacred journey through some of India’s most revered power spots, where the Divine Mother is worshipped in her many forms.
Penukonda (Kanaka Durga)
Our journey begins in Penukonda, believed to be the birthplace of the Divine Mother. Here, Ramakrishna will lead a free satsang to introduce us to the powerful cosmic period of Navaratri – the Nine Nights of the Divine Mother. This is where we begin to attune ourselves to the sacred vibrations of Mother Divine and open our hearts to receive her blessings. A mala will be offered to the Mother on behalf of all participants with your prayers.
Bukkapatnam (Chamundeshwari)
From Penukonda, we travel to the nearby Bhukapatnam temple, an extraordinary power spot dedicated to the Divine Mother in her form as Chamundeshwari. This is where Sri Kaleshwar first experienced darshan of Mother Divine, and where many of his students also had their first glimpses of Her divine form. This unique temple is filled with a mystical presence that evokes a deep connection with the Divine.
Shirdi
Next, we touch the energy of Shirdi, one of India’s most-visited and powerful spiritual centers. Shirdi Baba, a divine incarnation of Shiva and Dattatreya, maintained a deep, mystical connection to the Divine Mother. In fact, he left his body on Vijayadashami, the astrological peak of Navaratri. As Ramakrishna and Bhramari take darshan at Baba’s samadhi, you are invited to place your prayers there as well while watching the live stream - offering them to the Divine Mother through Baba's grace.
* Please note that locations may be adjusted as the sacred energy of our journey unfolds.
Rishikesh (Ganga)
We then travel to Rishikesh, where we connect with the Divine Mother in her sacred form as the river Ganga. This holy river is an embodiment of the Divine Mother, and countless miracles have been attributed to her waters. Experience the enchanting evening Aarti at Triveni Ghat, where devotees gather at sunset to worship and offer candles to the Mother. As we join in this beautiful ceremony, lights will be offered on behalf of all participants, carrying your prayers into the divine flow of Mother Ganga.
Dhari Devi
Our next stop is Dhari Devi, a powerful form of Kali and the protector of this region of the Himalayas. The Dhari Devi Temple is unique, housing the upper half of Goddess Dhari’s idol, while the lower half resides in the Kalimath temple, where she is worshipped as Kali. The temple stands atop the Alaknanda River, a testament to the Mother’s enduring strength and protection. Here, we will seek her blessings for all participants.
Kali Math Fire Puja
One of the most profound moments of our Navaratri journey will be the fire puja at the Kalimath temple. This sacred site is home to an Akhanda Dhuni – an eternal flame that has burned continuously for millions of years, embodying the timeless power of the Divine Mother. Kalimath is the only temple where Kali is worshipped as a yantra (sacred geometry). Once a year, on the eighth night of Navaratri, this yantra is removed from its shrine for a special worship ceremony. We will stream a powerful fire puja live from Kalimath, sharing the incredible energy of this sacred ritual with you as we honor the Divine Mother in her fiercest form.
Mother in her Many Forms
As we make our way through the majestic Himalayas, we will stop at various temples dedicated to the Divine Mother in her different forms. At each location, we will share video teachings, offering you the chance to connect to the unique energies of these sacred spots. Prayers and offerings will be made on behalf of all participants, deepening your connection with the many manifestations of the Divine Mother.

Meet your Guides
Ramakrishna and Bhramari are the co-founders of the Paramashiva Center for Advanced Yogic Sciences and will be your guides through this transformative Navaratri program.
Ramakrishna spent 15 years in Penukonda, studying under the great yogic saint, Sri Kaleshwar. As one of Sri Kaleshwar’s senior-most students, he was entrusted with sharing the ancient knowledge he learned and establishing a healing power spot in the West.
For the past 8 years, Bhramari has been practicing this ancient wisdom alongside Ramakrishna. Their mission is to share Sri Kaleshwar’s vision to disseminate this once-hidden knowledge to all of humanity, with the aim of creating spiritual masters who can heal the world.
