India Transform You Visit India – Change Your Life. For all spiritual seekers, travel to India has a special appeal. The very land is steeped in spirituality, where many ancient practices were developed and perfected over 5,000 years ago. Simply walking the land can leave a profound and lasting imprint on your soul. To transform your life requires a journey which will change the way you view yourself and the world. Highlights of the tour included a 5-day conference “Ayurveda and Yoga: Where Science Meets Consciousness” held in Rishikesh (the Yoga capital of the world); visits to Old and New Delhi; the Taj Mahal in Agra; and the Golden Temple in Amritsar. The BBC has listed Agra and Amritsar as two of the top ten sites to visit in the world.
