In-Person Initiation During Rare Birthstar + Bday Powertime
We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Pillai will be physically present for key parts of the 2025 India Temple Tour. This is a rare and extraordinary opportunity to experience his divine energy and teachings in person.
Here’s what makes this tour unforgettable:
“You should go to these temple vorticesin 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 a temple visit. The temples with these available energies are places chosen by Siddhas and Yogis. They gave all their power to that particular vortex, 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
"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

“I have been traveling to India with Dr. Pillai since 2001. On my first trip to India, he was not there in person. To this day, it is still one of the most transformational experiences I have ever had. Every time I go to India, there is a shift in consciousness that only the sacred motherland can provide.
I am grateful to have journeyed to India over 20 times and experienced countless group and private pilgrimages all throughout India. I am also honored to have held a leadership role in Pillai Center pilgrimages since 2015. Witnessing the transformation of everyone on the trip is extraordinary.
I look forward to bringing you to the sacred vortices Dr. Pillai has selected for this trip and relaying the messages he has given at these locations. We will be deeply immersed in prayer, chanting, and ceremonies as we travel from vortex to vortex. You will not return the same person!”
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.

"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."
