SPIRITUAL JOURNEY RETREAT 2023 TAMIL NADU
"I freed myself from the fetters the Creator bound me with.
I learned the way of reaching Civa.
I destroyed my karmas with the sharp sword of realization and stood ego-lost.
And now I hasten toward the city of God."
Citter Tirumular - Tirumantiram 2962
MISSION
The SPIRITUAL PLAN takes precedence over EVERYTHING. The soul wishes to blossom and remind us that we are connected to the Divine. The soul is the vital and spiritual principle that animates the body for its earthly journey to fulfil its spiritual journey.
REFLECTION
Developing bakti is a special way to listen to the Voice of Civa. It is the true home of the divine that connects with an interior life of the soul.
KINDNESS
When a person is devoted to purifying their inner world and performing acts of true kindness, then wherever they go, withered people and branches all come back to life. All true spiritual practices are based upon kindness
INEEGRITY
When we are in spiritual integrity, we are embracing our humanity. We are at our best, we are whole and in alignment with an inner wisdom that we all have access to unleashing our innate capacity to be truly kind people
The foundation of worship is one's relationship with Lord Civa!
Spirituality is an ‘Individual Experience’ of the ‘self’ and greater ‘Self’ in the given context of one’s life.
“Pack your bags” join us on our Spiritual Retreat. Let us take you around – it begins your journey at the foot hill, and the door opens for you to climb!
Spiritual Journey is a platform for you to experience and to enjoy the nectar of the Supreme.
Throughout history, those who are aware of themselves as travelers upon a spiritual journey, have always pondered an essential question: “How can I live a loving, fulfilling, and productive life in this world while being true to my Spiritual Quest?”
Thus, the arena of Spiritual Psychology emerges as a common denominator bridging the spiritual and that aspect of the spiritual that we often refer to as the physical world.
Spiritual Journey is ‘Unconditionally Loving,' the ultimate competency!
“The ignorant state that love and Civa (The Godhead) are two different entities
They do not know that it is love that becomes Civa
Once they realize that it is love that becomes Civa
They will themselves rest in Civa who becomes nothing other than love.”
CITTER TIRUMUAR
TIRUMANTIRAM
The fact that most individuals of humanity remain unaware of the very Source of their own Life, the temple plays an important role from continuing to hold for them this ancient truth, this path, this mission that has been given by the Ancient Citters has been set by building such temples in such special places for the future generations of humanity and also have a chance to receive blessings in such places. This is the gift given to mankind.
The ancients knew something that modern humans have forgotten. They knew a deeper truth to reality and so have left us a legacy, knowledge, practices to experience and follow.
The is the Spiritual Journey Retreat.
Spiritual Journey
Your Karma has greater plans for you than you have for yourself. Most are out of touch with their inner world. Reconnecting with your inner 'self' is so important, primarily because that is how you grow.
Spiritual Journey is about returning to the Centre of your being: it’s a path traditionally undertaken by mystics such as the Ancient Tamil Citters who have reached Lord Civa and have become immortals.
Following Civa is a journey that one undertakes as a quest from one’s heart – simply true devotion and love flowing. Nothing more is needed.
This Spiritual Journey is accessible to all people.
Indeed,
it’s our deepest longing and highest calling as a species.

Your days will pass by with experiences in each temple and receiving the positive vibrations of each temple you visit.
Your Devotion That Open's
When you think of ‘Civa’ He becomes ‘jyothi’, which means ‘radiance.’ When you embark to experience Civa on a spiritual journey with C I T T E R in Tamil Nadu, you step into a different world of experiences, quite different from the rest of the country. Civa for the Tamils is the first ‘CITTER.’ This spiritual experience comes from the earliest times of human civilisation – the roots!
NOURISH YOUR SOUL...
BE A PART OF THAT SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE
Spiritual Journey is a sacred journey that’s undertaken by one. It is an oasis for the spiritual thirst of the (wandering) soul/along its journey in life.
Temples in Tamil Nadu are unique to the whole of India. The rituals and practices observed here are very different from the rest of India.
The Deity in each Temple represents a particular aspect of Divinity and the Mantras and rituals offered to each Deity is specific to that Deity alone. As such, the energy and the type of vibration emanating from the `Deities’, will be different and serve different purposes. This is why we have so many different temples in different places that have served and stood the test of time.
The daily rituals continually charge the energy of the Temple. Upon crossing the threshold of the Temple one enters into this Divine Energy field. The individual`s energy body and chakras receive and absorb the divine power and energy emitted by the Deity.
One practically takes a `bath` in the energy of the deity. This will not only cleanse the energy body and the aura but also imparts the vibration of the Deity to the chakras. These vibrations can expel negative energies and can change the aura of the person with positive Divine energy when visiting and being in these ancient Temples.

EXPERIENCES OF OUR FOREIGN TRAVELERS ON OUR SPIRITUAL JOURNEY IN 2022
"The soul continues its journey of birth, death and rebirth, in perpetuity until a final liberation. This is at the heart of the philosophy of detachment and learning to let go of desires."
Jamie - US at Chidambaram
Spiritual Journey Retreat Experience
"Dealing with the realisation of divinity is incredibly beautiful. As I sit in front of Civa, He teaches me of liberating from attachments. As I sit here in His temple the joy of His instant teaching - is not measured in words but by the teardrops of love that fulfils my heart."
David - UK at Tanjore Periyakoil
Spiritual Journey Retreat Experience
"Sitting in a temple where millions before me had come and gone, where my ancestors performed their prayers, were I sit now before Him, brings this imence feeling of love overflowing over me that cannot be described as I see the huge form I of Him in front of me."What a spiritual presence I feel!"
Kamala - Australia at Tanjore Periyakoil
Spiritual Journey Retreat Experience
"The simple reality is that Civa gives us divine encounters because He wills Himself to be known by us personally. The spiritual can be perceived in everyday life, but divine encounters happen because He wants us to know Him personally."
Dr. Mrs Mukerji - US Vaiteeswaran Kovil
Spiritual Journey Retreat Experience
"When I meditate, I am noticing every thought and physical sensation as soon as it breaks into consciousness, and I notice when it stops. There is no labeling or thinking about anything, only noticing the arising and disbanding of all as it happens in each new now moment, for one hour."
Kevin - Australia at Civaloagnatar Kovil
