Pilgrimages to India
I started Roam with OM from a love of India, I fell in love at first sight. In creating these tours I have spent hours consulting with Dr. Thomas Parker formerly of Polestar Devotional Tours planing these exceptional sacred journeys. Along with this I bring 38 years as an SRF devotee on these pilgrimages. "It's all about hospitality and making people comfortable on the journeys".
In 2010 I took the Shivananda Yoga Teacher Training in Netala, the Himalayan foothills near Gangotri for 1 month, and spent four months touring India.
I have also worked as a news and traffic reporter flying in the skies of Boston, Miami Beach, Washington DC, Nashville, and Baltimore. I always felt like an Indiana Jones kinda girl.
If you'd like more information please feel free to Call or Email Tara at roamwithom@gmail.com.
Phone: (760) 977-9194
I offer several travel options and tours to suit your budget.

Masters Darshan Tours Presents
Maha Kumbhamela and Y.S.S Pilgrimage
January, February and March 2013
Master's Darshan Tours will be leading an incredible Sacred Journey to the awesome Maha Kumbhamela in the city of Allahabad, India. I have been fortunate to travel with many devotees to these events over the last tweny-one years. Many that traveled in 2001 are returning again in 2013. We will spend four days in the spiritually magnetized vibrations along with millions of Hindu worshipers.
Every twelve years the yogis, swamis and sadhus of India come to this location to bless the devout seeker. Prayag (the Hindu name) or Allahabad (Muslim Name) has been the site of this Holy festivity for thousands of years. Here the three sacred rivers come together at the Sangam or bathing site. Every pilgrim longs to take his or her bath at the confluence of the holy Ganges, Yamuna and the underground river Saraswati. Hindus believe if they are able to bathe in this sacred Kumbh (or cup) they will be liberated from this world. Of course in SRF, we believe this joining of the three rivers happens at the Spiritual Eye when the energies of Ida and Pingala rise up the Sushumna to merge at the point between the eyebrows, then the devotee bathes his or her soul in bliss and finds total freedom in God.
These days will be incorporated into our annual pilgrimage to the Y.S.S. ashrams and many of the incredible places mentioned in the 'Autobiography of a Yogi'. We will spend 3 or 4 days in each location to absorb the holy vibrations of these destinations. (see daily details on www.Mastersdarshan.com)
We will stay in beautiful hotels at the most desirable sites in each location. Most of them along rivers with stunning scenery. Unlike other tours, we will be doing most our travel by air in India. We may have an occasional train ride but we have found that too many train rides, although much less expensive, wears the devotees down. Our goal is to keep them safe and healthy throughout the tour.
Here are a few of the destinations:
These tours will fill up quickly. In 2001 over 120 devotees went on these tours. Each individual tour will be limited to not more than 30 devotee, so please go on-line to the website www.mastersdarshan.com and fill out the the forms and send in your deposits by the first quarter of 2012.
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/g/a/2010/02/09/indiahindu.DTL
We expect to fill-up quickly, so don’t delay. Once you have decided to join us, make sure to read the check list on this website under “Preparations” (PDF) . Here you will find all of the necessary items that you will need for your journey. You will also need to contact the Consulate General of Indian in San Francisco (www.cgisf.org) to obtain a visa before we depart. If we can be of any assistance, please feel free to contact us at: 760-815-4048. We would love to speak with you.
In Divine Friendship

I would like to annouce my availability to work as a BUDGET pilgrimage travel guide/escort for YSS/SRF devotees.
Over the years, I have assisted numerous SRF bretheren as they pilgrimage to various YSS and other tourist sites in India--sites in around and Kolkata, Puri, Dwarahat, Taj Mahal, Buddhist places like Bodh Gaya, Norbulingka, McLeod Ganj, etc.--to name a very few. And I am well aware of the hassles and challenges faced by our western brotheren. I realize that some people can't afford high cost of a regular tour or that they simply prefer to direct their own tour, with the aid of an assistant.
If you are traveling solo or with a small group but want a dependable guide/escort to ease your way, please let me know. I will be happy to offer my experience/services to individuals and/or small groups (maximum 10). This includes airport pick up, booking train/hotel reservations, handling luggage, running errands ( like laundries, getting a fabric repaired, arranging internet/E-Mail facilities, locating/co-ordinating mini tours and finally seeing you off at the airport. All with a personal touch.
During my earlier career I worked as Travelling Service Executive for a big engineering firm and worked in various provinces and so I can speak the regional languages fluently.
Also if you need any job to be done like buying/sending something or contacting someone or even touring a place to find out more details, I would be happy to be of service. Regarding a honorarium for me, it can be worked out depending upon the number of people, duration, etc. My services are geared for those who may want to extend a regular tour or just want more flexibility at a cost savings.
Kindly contact me directly at <lrn_in@yahoo.com> via E-mail for more info. If you need any references I can send them to you.
