A Spiritual Journey to the Guru’s Abode

M_Id_193251_Railway.jpgA luxury train, costing about $10,000 per passenger, and traveling to the five takhts throughout India has begun it’s journey.  The nine-day trip will begin in New Delhi and will stop at Keshgarh Sahib, the Akal Takht, Damdama Sahib, Hazoor Sahib and Patna Sahib.

The 21-coach train includes two presidential suites, five-star rooms, a spa, a salon, gym, two restaurants, a conference hall and a business center! [link]  There are currently 88 passengers on board from both India and abroad including the US, Canada, the UK, Germany and France.  The trip is being managed by the Taj group of hotels.

It sounds like the trip is not necessarily directed towards Sikhs and is not simply a “pilgrimage” but apparently will include additional stops in Rajasthan for sightseeing.  One article notes that,

Different legs of the journey will have performances by traditional artists onboard. “Kirtans” (holy songs of Sikhs) by Sikh hymn singers called Raagis will also be an attraction.

The next trip is planned for March 2011 with an ultimate goal of doing four trips a year.  What are your thoughts – would you pay $10,000 for a trip like this?

    No! exploitation! is this is supposed to be a pilgrimage or a luxury trip. It just seems over rated.

  2. JooKay Singh says:

    Is it for the average person? No. This is squarely aimed at those (sikhs and non-sikhs) who normally vacation in luxury locations anyway, or are fond of luxury train travel, i.e. the Orient Express or similair.

    I think for those who are 'money rich but time poor', this is a good way of visiting the 5 takhats in a relatively short period, and with everything arranged for them, probably a very stress-free way too.

    Usually, I don't learn post on blogs, but I wish to say that this write-up very forced me to check out and do so! Your writing taste has been surprised me. Thank you, quite a great post.

  24. Peter Doswell says:

    This is a spiritual journey, as is life itself, and too many of us are held back by the belief, that we do not deserve to do well, or have all of the nice things in life.

    In reality the spiritual life should be nothing but abundant.

    The universe is abundant, and so should be the spiritual development of all brothers, above all else.

    May the great and divine spirit be with you all!

    So, many of them are providing great bonuses to draw in players at mandiriqq. These bonuses may differ from about $25 to $500 and more; however, many of them require that you deposit money also. Ingestion is that you usually can’t claim this bonus immediately, until you have played so much on the webpage, and so the trick would be to play, keep the money, maybe win much more, then leave with all the bonus money.

  29. Very interesting post, thanks for sharing.

  33. Hi, I and my colleagues are planning a trip to Wayanad, India. Can someone suggest the popular tourist spots in Wayanad?

  34. Omio Coupons says:

    What a trip you had! I hope you did not have flight delays. I want to share my personal experience as well. My first flight experience was last February 2017. Since there is no direct connecting flight from US to Thailand. Having seen in a lot of movies that people usually read books on airports and in flights, I also decided to keep a few good novels to give my first flight journey and “good-enough-to-remember” feel. It was my first flight journey and I wanted to make it special. Finally, when I was On air, I decided to read a book but Damn! The Earth and her beauty! Mountains flicker like glitter on Earth’s surface, rivers looking like giant snakes making their way out, clouds like puffy cotton balls floating in the sky and the delicious sunshine making its way through the window glass-what a moment!

    I too agree with your point like implementing a tiny house community like Opportunity Village was not straightforward, but it was doable, we just had to make it of interest to enough people. Realizing early pilot projects like this then sets precedent for adjusting municipal code to set physical parameters for this new type of land use. Very informative.Pusat Sewa Bus
