Voyager Travel Bytes – June 2025 Edition

It has just been a few days since the country was shrouded in a pall of gloom, witnessing one of the worst aviation disasters in history. Within the space of just a few seconds, lives were snuffed out and dreams were shattered. It was as if every family had lost a son, a daughter, a brother, a sister, a husband, or a wife. Having spent a considerable part of our lives in Ahmedabad and Gujarat, we feel a strange emotional connection. We pray for the souls of the deceased and hope that their near and dear ones find the strength to bear this grave tragedy. Once again, this devastating tragedy underlines the ephemeral nature of life.

Another tragedy that struck in May was closer home, in Bangalore, the ecstasy of winning the IPL tournament by the home team RCB turned into agony. Unprecedented crowds triggered a stampede that led to the loss of innocent lives outside the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore. Euphoria turned into mourning in a matter of minutes, and the city plunged into sorrow. Our prayers go out for the victims and their kin.

Currently, the World seems to be in turmoil, with conflicts erupting between nations everywhere. The price is, of course, paid by innocent men, women, and children. Join us in praying for love and peace to prevail in the World.

Whispers Of Shiva – A Journey  To  A Secret  Shiva  Temple

Gavi Betta Sakleshpur - Mysterious Hidden Shiva Cave Temple

Temples of Lord Shiva are usually located in remote and inaccessible places, including hills and caves. Join us as we drive up a hill and then trek down to a cave, negotiating boulders and squeezing ourselves through small crevices to reach a secret Shiva temple deep inside a bat-infested cave. This temple, located on a hill known as Gavi Betta, is in Sakleshpur, which nestles in the Western Ghats of Karnataka. You cannot find the temple on Google Maps, and hence, you need to have a local with you when you trek to the temple.

Voice of the Vedas  – Remembering  Adi  Shankaracharya

Shankaracharya Birth Place | Life of Sri Adi Shankaracharya

Some years ago, we were blessed to visit Kalady, near Ernakulam in Kerala, where the sacred place where Adi Shankaracharya was born stands. It was an experience that cannot be expressed in words. However, we have attempted to write about our experience, as well as about the life and legends of Adi Shankaracharya, whose wisdom lights up our path. He was the one who unified diverse streams of thought through Advaita Vedanta and revived Sanatana Dharma. The Spiritual centres that he established across India continue to be havens of solace and wisdom to millions to this day.

A  Green  Escape  – Regenta  Resort  Sakleshpur

Regenta Resort Sakleshpur

Last month, we took a welcome break from the ceaseless cacophony of Bengaluru, spending a couple of days at Regenta Resort Sakleshpur. A place that nestles amidst the mist-kissed hills and verdant landscapes of Sakleshpur. The resort’s tranquil ambience, coupled with warm hospitality, created an atmosphere of pure relaxation and rejuvenation. The weather was superb, as we witnessed rain and mist in quick succession, a perfect balm to soothe the strained nerves of a city dweller. The resort is a perfect getaway for families for moments of shared fun and relaxation.
