"India has the most powerful space on this Earth plane, still alive, to change your consciousness. Even today, the Siddhas and Yogis live there and come to these holy places daily to saturate themselves with their energy. This is special energy that you cannot buy with money."
— Dr. Pillai
Experience the Sacred Essence of Mystical India
“You should go to these temple vortices in India. These vortices are full of power and can remove stumbling blocks responsible for creating problems in different areas of your life. These temples are like technology-oriented, high-tech vortices where you can see the removal of your karma if you are alert.
It is a very important thing that everyone should do. No amount of attending seminars or reading books will substitute for a temple visit. The temples with these available energies are places chosen by Siddhas and Yogis. They gave all their power to those particular vortices, and their energy stays in the vortices.
Most of them are in the Kumbakonam [India] area, where the world was first created. It is a very beautiful place. There are vortices for money, health, relationships, and enlightenment. When you go to the temples, the energy there is so great that you will be blissed out because it is an irresistible energy.” — Dr. Pillai
Dr. Pillai’s Birthday Powertime
"On my birthday, I receive an enormous amount of energy, and I want to share that with you. It’s an opportunity for miracles, for your mind and body to resonate with the divine consciousness."— Dr. Pillai
Dr. Pillai’s birthday, February 1, is a highly significant powertime, filled with extraordinary spiritual energy that amplifies the potential for his blessings. This year, this date also coincides with Thai Poosam, a deeply revered celebration of Swami Ramalingam’s ascension.
Thai Poosam marks the day when Swami Ramalingam, known for his profound spiritual wisdom, transcended to the divine. Dr. Pillai has revealed that he was Swami Ramalingam in a past life, making this an even more potent time to honor his legacy, seek divine guidance, and connect with the powerful energy of his ascension.
Celebrating these divine events together in Rameshwaram, Dr. Pillai’s birthplace, further amplifies the experience. Rameshwaram, a sacred vortex in India, is known for its unique ability to cleanse karma and accelerate spiritual growth. By visiting this holy site during Dr. Pillai’s birthday powertime and Thai Poosam, participants can receive the blessings of both Dr. Pillai and Swami Ramalingam, immersing themselves in the heightened spiritual energy of this powerful combination.

CHENNAI POWERSPOT VISITS
Royapuram Angala Parameswari Temple (Angali Temple)
The Royapuram Angalaparameswari Temple in Chennai is renowned for its connection to cosmic knowledge and power. Dr. Pillai says beings from all galaxies visit this temple daily, as Goddess Angala Parameswari is the source of wisdom and power. Visitors can touch the sacred rock that embodies her Siddhi power energy and seek blessings from the Goddess to gain insights and spiritual strength.
Dr. Pillai’s Brzee Temple
Located in Chennai, Dr. Pillai’s Brzee Temple houses a unique six-foot statue of the Brzee Goddess, made of special clay. Embodying Goddess Lakshmi and the Shreem Brzee mantra, this temple is a powerful source of wealth, abundance, and prosperity consciousness. Visitors can align with prosperity energy and dissolve negative money karma during this visit.
The temple now features many additional sacred statues, including:
- Goddess Angali – for cosmic wisdom and power

- Karuppasamy, Ramar Set, and Hanuman – for protection and dharma
- Planetary forms like Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto
With 60+ sacred forms, this is a rare spiritual space where visitors can connect with powerful divine energies in one place.
RAMESHWARAM POWERSPOT VISITS
Dhanushkodi
A mystical land where the Indian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal meet, Dhanushkodi is the legendary spot where Lord Rama built the Ram Setu to Sri Lanka. It holds immense energy and is considered the starting point of divine action and human courage. This place is ideal for soul cleansing and connecting to Rama’s devotion and divine mission.
Nambu Nayaki Amman Temple
The Nambu Nayaki Amman Temple is the most famous in Rameshwaram. Nambu Nayaki Amman is considered the protecting goddess of the south direction and is Dr. Pillai’s family deity. When Dr. Pillai’s mother was a baby, she fell seriously ill, and doctors could not help her. Dr. Pillai’s grandfather brought her to this temple, where he prayed to the Goddess for a miracle. She was healed completely. This temple is known for miraculous healing and offers spiritual, psychological, and physical restoration.
Ramanathaswamy Shiva Temple (Sea Bathing + 22 Wells Bathing)
Ramanathaswamy Temple, also known as the Rameshwaram Temple, is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas and is famous for its karma-clearing power. Dr. Pillai teaches that the 22 holy wells in this temple contain special hydrogen that cleanses not only the mind but also the DNA. Pilgrims perform ritual baths in these wells to dissolve karmic blocks, release past burdens, and experience spiritual renewal. Rameshwaram is Dr. Pillai's birthplace, making this visit especially significant for those seeking deep purification.
Rakachi Amman Temple (Dr. Pillai’s Family Temple)
Dr. Pillai’s family temple, the Rakachi Amman Temple in Rameshwaram, is dedicated to Goddess Rakakshi, the Goddess of the Third Eye. Known for her ability to manifest desires instantaneously, this temple offers a unique opportunity to align with her powerful energy. Worshipping Rakachi Amman can help you manifest your goals and overcome obstacles swiftly.
Dr. Pillai will be physically present for the grand ceremony that will take place at this temple on his birthday, February 1.
KUMBAKONAM POWERSPOT VISITS
Kumbakonam Temple Visits
Immerse yourself in Kumbakonam, the spiritual heart of India, where more sacred temples are concentrated than anywhere else in the country. During this trip, you will be surrounded by the potent energies of ancient powerspots, each offering unique blessings to help accelerate your spiritual evolution.
THIRUVANNAMALAI POWERSPOT VISITS
Arunachaleswarar Temple
This is one of the most sacred shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva, where He is believed to have manifested as an endless column of fire to assert His supremacy over Vishnu and Brahma. This fiery form, known as the Agni Lingam, symbolizes self-sacrifice, liberation, duty, and virtue. Revered as a Moksha Sthalam (place for salvation), the temple is part of the four sacred Shiva sites in Hindu scriptures. The primary deities worshipped here are Lord Arunachaleshwara (Shiva) and Goddess Unnamalai Amman (Parvati).
The Ashta Lingam Temples
Encircling the sacred Arunachala Mountain are eight ancient temples, each housing a unique Lingam aligned with a direction and one of the planets. Together, they form a powerful circuit of spiritual energy known as the Ashta (8) Lingams. Pilgrims visit these shrines during the traditional Girivalam (circumambulation) to harmonize planetary influences, dissolve karmic challenges, and invite blessings for health, wealth, wisdom, and inner peace.
Connecting with all eight Lingams is said to balance one's life with the cosmic order, offering spiritual upliftment, astrological harmony, and deep transformation.
Experience the Living Spirit of Arunachala’s Ashrams
Our journey will take us to the world-renowned Sri Ramana Maharshi Ashram, where seekers from around the globe gather to immerse themselves in silence, meditation, and the profound teaching of Self-Inquiry. The atmosphere is charged with Ramana Maharshi’s living presence, offering a rare opportunity to touch deep inner stillness.
We may also stop at sacred spaces connected to other great saints, including Padrimalai Swamigal and Sathguru Venkatarama Siddhar, whose lineages continue to radiate blessings around Arunachala.
FIVE-SYMBOL BASKARA YANTRA FOR CLEANSING KARMA
Upon arrival in India, you will receive a 2” Five-Symbol Baskara Yantra, revealed to Dr. Pillai through a sacred Nadi reading. This simple yet powerful yantra is designed to carry his energy.
As you visit each sacred temple, you will energize your yantra by immersing it in the divine vibrations of these powerspots. This process activates the yantra to dissolve poverty consciousness and attract both spiritual and material abundance, continuing to support you even after the journey ends.

Ashta Lakshmi: The Eightfold Abundance

Meet Your Temple Guide
Gina (Jai Radha)
"I first traveled to India with Dr. Pillai’s guidance in 2001. Even though he was not physically present on that initial journey, it remains one of the most transformational experiences of my life. Each visit since has brought a profound shift in consciousness that only the sacred motherland can provide.
Over the years, I have been blessed to journey to India more than 25 times, leading both group and private pilgrimages across the country. Since 2015, I have had the honor of serving in a leadership role for Pillai Center pilgrimages, where I’ve witnessed extraordinary transformation unfold in participants again and again.
On this sacred journey, I will bring you to the powerful vortices personally selected by Dr. Pillai and share the messages he has revealed at these holy sites. Together, we will immerse ourselves in prayer, chanting, and ceremonies as we travel from one vortex to another. This is not just a trip—it is an initiation into a new level of your spiritual journey. You will not return the same."
Testimonials
"The 2023 Goddess trip to India was miraculous! So many incredible synchronicities. It was my first time in India, and I took advantage of the opportunity by also getting my nadi remedies done while I was there. Our facilitator, Jai Radha (Lakshmi Gina), and the tour guides and coordinators were phenomenal. The trip was a tremendous blessing for me—so many incredible memories, too many to list. During my nadi temple visit, I was able to enter the inner sanctum where the priests were. That memory is forever etched in my mind, and I attribute it to Babaji's divine grace. On another temple visit, we entered at the exact time the priests were performing the processional of the Goddess, and it was during the Venus hora—a huge blessing. It was truly beautiful. In that moment, I felt as if I was transported to another dimension. Easily one of the best experiences of my life. I highly recommend this program."
- Annie Morris
"Wow! The Goddess is already releasing blessings. As I sat in the Angali Temple, my legs were so tight, and I kept shifting positions to find comfort. I said inwardly as I looked into the eyes of the Goddess, ‘I guess I really need to get back into doing yoga.’ Then I silently thought, maybe I will purchase a 3-month package when I return home? The Goddess said, ‘Don't worry, I will provide for you!’ Tell me why my community just had our annual Halloween event, and I won a one-year membership to our yoga studio, which is 3 blocks from my home! Thank you, Goddess Angali, for this blessing! She really works fast!"
— Mother T
"From the day I planned to go on the trip, I could feel things changing inside of me, and I was so looking forward to it. The blessings from the priests at the Muruga Temple, meeting the Saint, and being blessed by him were so enlightening, God-inspiring, and totally awesome. Every temple we visited had something miraculous occurring, such as celebrations, music, dancing, meeting people, and going to the children’s centers. The Angaali and Kali temples were so amazing.
At one temple, a couple was getting married, and the priest said only the blessed could come in, so we should not take this lightly. Every day, something divinely inspirational and enlightening occurred right up to the end. The people of India are so kind; when they smile and talk, you see the love they have in their eyes.
While at a temple near the water, a busload of tourists arrived just as we were leaving, and we all danced together, smiling and enjoying each other. The trip, from beginning to end, was so divinely blessed by Babaji; everywhere we went, I could feel his presence, the love, and compassion he was sharing with us."
I cannot say enough about the trip of a lifetime. The people on the bus were fantastic to travel with. I wouldn’t change a thing.
— Lyse Moreau
"May we all experience powerful changes in our lives at home. I was so happy to be a part of this trip. The memory will last a lifetime. I’m so grateful for all of you!"
– Christ Draft
"We, the Turkish team, are back and safe at our homes. It was such a magnificent trip, and we are all very happy to have met you in person. I feel my body is trying to align with the new energies received. I still feel as if I am in India and have dreams about it at night. If we are lucky enough, Babaji will have a Birthday Trip in February 2024."
– Leyla Ozlem Demir
