In  the  1930s,  Danish  mystic  Sunyata  Baba  (Alfred  Sorensen)  lived  here  for  over  three  decades.  Mystic-­‐saint  Anandamayi  Ma  also  visited  Kasar  Devi.  Famed  writer  D.  H.  Lawrence  spent  two  summers  here.    The  temple  dates  back  to  the  2nd  century  CE.  It  has  been  found  to  be  of  special  importance,  as  the  region  around  this  temple  has  enormous  geomagnetic  field,  because  this  temple  comes  under  the  Van  Allen  Belt.  The  causes behind  the  formation  of  this  belt  have  been  researched  by  NASA  for  the  last  two  years.      People  who  have  meditated  at  Kasar  Devi  including  our  Sri  Shyamji  (who  made  a  documentary  ”DARSHAN”  there)  have  expressed  a  degree  of  higher  rejuvenation  and  have  attached  special  importance  to  it.        February  24:  Almora  Enjoy  a  one-­‐night  stay  in  Almora,  known  as  the  temple  town.        It  has  over  124  temples  dedicated  to  Lord  Shiva.  We  will  visit  the  very  famous  Jageshwara  Temple,  (dating  9th  to  13th  century  AD).  Situated  at  an  elevation  of  1,870  meters  above  the  sea  level,  this  temple  is  believed  to  host  the  Nagesh  Jyotir  linga,  one  of  the  twelve  in  India  where  the  great  God  Shiva  appeared  as  a  fiery  column  of  light.      February  27:  Return  to  Delhi  to  stay  at  the  Aurobindo  Ashram  and  explore  historical  Delhi.          This  Journey  concludes  on  March  1  and  another  begins…expect  transformation!
