Himalayan Trip - May 2005 Swamiji visited the Himalayas between 23 May and 7 June 2005, taking with Him 135 devotees from all over the world. The places of visit were Rishikesh, Haridwar, Uttarkashi, Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, Badrinath and Joshimath.

Besides visiting holy shrines, Swamiji delivered powerful discourses on various subjects including the topic of 'Guru - Disciple relationship'. He answered questions from the devotees on any subject of their choice. He also conducted spiritual workshops on burning out the engrams (recorded negative thoughts) in each person that are the causative factor for all physical and mental ailments. Devotees saw Swamiji perform homas (fire rituals), abhisheka and poojas at all the places of visit. The group shared many spiritual experiences during the trip.

On June 3rd the yatris reached Badrinath and Swamiji can be seen leading the group to the temple of Lord Badri Vishal and later sitting at the steps of the temple. From the temple Swamiji led the group to Ganesh Guha and Vyas Guha - the two caves where Lord Ganesha transcribed the Mahabharatha as narrated by Sri Veda Vyas according to Hindu Mythology.
