With deepest devotion and gratitude, first of all, I would like to offer my heartfelt thanks and humble Dandabat Pranam at the sacred lotus feet of Param Pujya 1008 Swami Ramanananda Giri Ji Maharaj, Peethadhish of Mahesh Sanyas Ashram, whose divine blessings guided us throughout this sacred journey.
We successfully completed the 64 Siddalinga Jyotirlinga Pada Yatra — a profound spiritual walking pilgrimage across the 11 districts of Bagmati Province, Nepal. Covering nearly 1,000 kilometers in 42 days, this was not merely a walk; it was a journey of inner awakening, self-realisation, and spiritual transformation of mind, body, and soul.
During the yatra, we performed 64 Siddalinga Rudra Abhisheks and stayed in temples, sattals, Buddhist monasteries, schools, colleges, government offices, municipalities, and community halls. Around 75 participants joined the sacred pilgrimage, including Batuks (Vedic students), Grihasthas, Sadhus, Saints, and Sanyasis.
The 64 Siddalingas are spiritually connected around the Kathmandu Valley in three sacred circles centered on the holy Pashupatinath Temple. Our pilgrimage began from Sindhuli District, Kusheshwor, after worshipping the sacred Bagmati River, and concluded at Rudragadeshwor, Pashupatinath Temple, with Bagmati worship, Pashupati Rudra Abhishek, and the grand 64 Siddalinga Havan.
This yatra was not only a spiritual movement but also a call for environmental awareness and river conservation in Nepal. Clean rivers are essential for performing sacred Rudra Abhishek with pure water, reminding us of the importance of protecting nature and preserving our spiritual heritage for future generations.
With prayers to Lord Shiva, we humbly seek forgiveness for our past actions that may have harmed nature and divine rights (Deva Adhikar). Through this sacred initiative, we also aim to promote Spiritual Tourism in Nepal and inspire people toward devotion, sustainability, and cultural awakening.
With devotion and gratitude,
