The Ajanta- Ellora Buddhist tour held in January was a super success!! Thanks to our participants Andrea (Brazil), Bruna (Brazil), Carlin (USA), Michael (Ireland) and Margita (Germany) for making a lovely group. I and Daniel escorted the group throughout the tour.
The 3 day tour consisted of discussion on Buddhism and Yoga. In the early morning during sunrise there was an Asana and Pranayama session conducted in the open lawn followed with breakfast and caves visit. I had also arranged for a small session for the participants to learn Hindi. It was fun!
The caves of Ajanta with different paintings depicted various stories of Buddha, and this added more light on the life of Buddha. The caves consisted of Chaityas with stupas and the Viharas with beautiful carved images of Buddha and other figures related to this period. It was a real opportunity for the participants to understand Buddhism more clearly. It was also an opportunity to experience India, and also Indian people.
Ellora with its interesting and vast layout of Buddhist, Hindu and Jain caves and temples had mesmerized both of us and our participants. We decided to do some OM chanting in one of the Chiatya of Ellora, it was great to sit in the caves and do some chanting. The vibrations were peaceful and we all felt really relaxed after it :-)

The beautifully carved designs and images gave a dramatic effect to the temple.
Apart from this there was a lot of chit chat and fun time on the dinning table. It was so good to see different people coming from various countries exchanging ideas and their experiences. I was all the more happy to help them in selecting Indian dishes for their meals. Well, everybody relished the Indian food.
It was also an experience for the participants to travel by Indian Railway. We had time to talk and share, to have some chai (Indian tea) and snacks and have some fun!! It was really niceJ.
All of us took a lot of photos, did some shopping, played with monkeys....hehe, had good food, exercised and walked a lot. And above all this, we educated ourselves with the ancient history of India.
I am glad that we had an amazing trip and all the participants went back happy with sweet memories. I hope even you had fun reading this!
