The Sacred landscape
The destination of this Yatra - Siri Hemkunth Sahib and the Valley of Flowers, is not simply a geographic location. It is a living, conscious field. What Rishi Dushat Daman left there thousands of years ago is still vibrantly alive. You can feel a strange kind of presence; in the trees, in the stones, in the lake, in the peaks surrounding you.
The Yatra —
An Overview
Flower Valley —
Gift of the Higher Realms
The flower valley was a gift from the Devas, or higher beings, to this great sage beyond time and space. These were the flowers that were showered upon him on the day of his realization. These flowers took root in this dimension to remind humanity of this Yogi, who out of compassion took another birth to help humanity understand their dharma.
A land of endless meadows, with insurmountable snowcapped peaks bearing icy glaciers that burst into streams, and a background of birdsong. Flowers carpet the entire valley and the leaves form a porous umbrella.
Tirath Siri Hemkunth Sahib—
Vortex Centre & 10th Gate of Mother Earth
Right under the location of Siri Hemkunth Sahib runs one of the most important energetic nerve channels of the earth, known as the Sushmana. It is the spiritual nerve of Mother Earth, source of all life on the planet, and it sustains the balance of the polarities and the electromagnetic field of the earth.
Where this nerve ends is known as the 10th gate, the exact location of Rishi Dushat Daman’s meditative space. It is so potent that pranic beams radiate at all times from the seven surrounding peaks to keep it intact.

The Healing Lake
The Healing Lake which still exists today was manifested by Rishi Dushat Daman from the ethers. It witnessed the great phenomenon when Rishi Dushat Daman merged into infinity. The healing waters absorbed that imprint into its memory giving it the power to heal on many levels.
The Devas love the lake so much that until today there are stories of these higher beings who make a yearly pilgrimage just to take a dip in the sacred lake of Rishi Dushat Daman.
Encircled by seven snow clad peaks and their associated glaciers, it reflects its surroundings enchantingly on its crystal clear serene waters. The glaciers from HathiParvat and Sapt Rishi peaks feed the lake and a small stream called Himganga flows out of this lake.
Sapt Rishi Peaks
The seven peaks are named after the seven primal sages, known as Sapta Rishi. They are known as the primal masters of the entire humanity. In the beginning of time, the first yogic science was transmitted to them on these seven peaks by Shiva himself. After having received this transmission, they travelled to different ancient civilization transmitting the wisdom, which includes India, China, Europe, Mayan land and Africa.
Sacred Yatra Purpose
Carrying forward the sacred lineage of Sri Singh Sahib Yogi Bhajan, Yogi Amandeep guides seekers on this Yatra, a profound journey of self-discovery, spiritual awakening, and inner transformation.
“Connect with the mountains, the peaks, the trees. They are most conscious yogis on the planet earth. You would find “Yoga” here, everywhere, the trees are standing in tree poses, the mountains are in mountain poses, the clouds are in Simran; constant remembrance.
The idea to come here is to sit in their lap, it’s called Satsangh; to sit in the company of those who have dissolved. Those who have stopped in the present moment, those who have sat still, no movement, only beingness, only pure presence remains.
Let me introduce you to these beings, who have been worshiped by the ancient ones as Gods.”
-Yogi Amandeep
