Khajuraho
This pilgrimage to the Tantra Temples in Khajuraho is a precious gift to listen and meditate with the very essence of Classical Tantra. We will have opportunities to listen to the Indian Tantrik Mysteries, activate, and have reference points of Kundalini codes and life-force-energy.
Khajuraho is a unique place in the world where the Mythology, Cosmology, Esoteric Wisdom of the Yoginis and Tantrikas come Alive. It is a rare opportunity to drink from the Deep Wells of Tantra, Kundalini, and be initiated into the Deeper Mysteries still alive in the Temples of Khajuraho.
This pilgrimage is organized by Kamala Devi Kim and facilitated by Bynoi Desouza and Diana Prem Shakti. We will be guided by renowned Tantra Master and Khajuraho expert Swami Ganga. The Baul Mystics, a living embodiment of tantric prayer intoxicated with the Divine, will be supporting us with Sacred Song Circles.
We will explore the sacred temples of Khajuraho (Main Temples, Yogini Temples, Bija or Seed Temples), and the more remote esoteric unknown temples. We will engage in group listening, silence, tantra meditations, embodied prayer, sacred ritual, explore the Indian Mysteries, Mythology, and Cosmology of Tantra.
About Khajuraho
Khajuraho is an energy vortex, one of the birth-places of Tantra in India. Built over a 1000 years ago, some of the most graphic, erotic and sensuous sculptures the world has known are on the temple walls of Khajuraho. Every facade – wall, window, pillar, and ceiling – of Khajuraho is carved with figures of mythical and historical origins. Tantric adepts from all over the sub-continent came to Khajuraho.
Osho, the Indian mystic in his commentary on the temples stated: “..if you meditate there, you will know what the Tantra masters were doing. They were creating in stone something that is felt in the ultimate orgasmic joy. It was the most difficult thing to do, to bring ecstasy into the stone. And if the stone can show the ecstasy, then everybody can move into that ecstasy easily. Khajuraho sculpture is not just to see, it is for meditation.
Sit silently and meditate for hours. If one goes to Khajuraho, one should live at least for three months there, so he can meditate on each possible inner posture of orgasmic joy. And then, slowly slowly, the at-onement, slowly slowly, the harmony; then suddenly you are transported into another world — the world of those mystics who created this temple. This is objective art…….”
About Swami Ganga
Swami Ganga met Osho in the 1960’s and subsequently, became his guide during Osho’s many visits to Khajuraho. By luck, chance or destiny, while still a teenager, Swami Ganga found himself in the hands of one of the greatest Tantra Masters. Osho proceeded to offer Ganga powerful transmissions on the nature of Khajuraho, including its original intent, its esoteric history, and all the symbolism of these magnificent temples.
Swami Ganga gave tours in these temples for 45 years, before going into half retirement. He currently devotes his time between being in his hotel in Khajuraho and offering his sublime presence and wisdom to groups of seekers who come from all over the world, to drink in his eloquent wisdom.
About the Baul Tantric Mystics
Osho once described the Yogi, Tantric and Baul as three tables of people in a cafe: the yogi makes the tea, the tantric hands the tea out and the Baul is drinking it. That tea is bliss, bhav…the nectar of life. The Yogi is cultivating it. The Tantric is giving it out. The Baul is getting drunk on it!
The Bauls are the Indian Sufis, mystical musicians from Bengal. They sing from the heart and pour out their feelings and emotions in their songs. Their music reflects bonds of the heart, subtly revealing the mystery of life, the laws of nature and the ultimate union with the divine. A Baul is a mystic nomad dealing with human relations, emotions and spontaneously expressing their spiritual ideology through music & dance.
They seek the divinity in human beings. Metaphysical topics are dwelt upon in a humble fashion and in simple words. To them we are all a gift of divine power and the body is a temple, music being the path to connect to that power.
Osho says “A Baul is a flowering. A Baul is a flowing energy. The Baul is not a seeker, the Baul is one who has found. The Baul is a SIDDHA: one who has looked into life and realized that all is available and there is no need to seek. One has just to participate in this mystery called life. He dances, he sings, he enjoys, he is blissful for no reason at all.”
About the instruments
The Bauls use ancient shamanic instruments that tune the human body to the universal cosmic frequency. The most common instrument used is the ektara, a one-stringed “plucked drum” drone instrument, carved from the epicarp of a gourd, and made of bamboo and goatskin. Others include the dotara, a long-necked fretless lute (while the name literally means “two stringed” it usually has four metal strings) made of the wood of a jackfruit or neem tree. Drums like the duggi, a small hand-held earthen drum, and and khol; small cymbals called khartal and manjira, and the bamboo flute are also used. Ghungur and nupur are anklets with bells that ring while the person wearing them dances. They also play the “ananda-lahori” which literally translated means “waves of ecstacy”.
About the songs
The music of the Bauls, Baul Sangeet, is a particular type of folk music. Its lyrics carry influences of the Hindu bhakti movements and the songs of Kabir. Their music represents a long heritage of preaching mysticism through songs in Bengali. Their lyrics intertwine a deep sense of mysticism, a longing for oneness with the divine.

You are invited
This pilgrimage is an opportunity to strengthen and tune the vibration of your body with the somatics of prayer. To deepen your capacity to listen through pilgrim prayer, dance and meditation, at one of the birthplaces of Tantra.
One of the metaphors to describe Tantra is weaving, and the invitation is to weave a collective Body of Prayer that includes our intentions, soul codes, & prayer threads. Ancient codes aligned in the temples, that as a womb is inviting us to enter in deep listening, receptive to a vibrational dialogue with Her ancient wisdom.
We all carry keys and codes in our soul’s vibrational signature that resonate with different physical power places on the planet. At pivotal moments in our lifetime, we are called to show up in these places and discover the magic of our multi-dimensionality and the mystery and memories waiting to be activated in these time-spaces.
