Shrimad Bhagwat Katha
By Shri Shyambhai Thakar
Thursday 1st to Saturday 10th May 2025
Embark on a transcendent spiritual retreat at the exquisite Mountain Glory Forest Resort, located in the serene foothills of Maa Annapurna. This remarkable journey includes a special katha, featuring the Bhagwat recited by the revered Shri Shyambhai against the tranquil Himalayan landscape.
Prepare for an unparalleled enlightening experience. Our 10-day adventure kicks off in Kathmandu, where we enjoy our first and last nights at a luxurious 5-star resort, including a visit to the sacred Pashupatinath before we travel to Pokhara.
As Nepal's second-largest city and a hub for tourists, Pokhara is surrounded by stunning lakes, including the beautiful Phewa, and offers awe-inspiring views of the Annapurna mountain range.
This exclusive experience is limited to just 110 participants that is closely associated with Shri Shyambhai. Over these 10 days, not only will we have the honor of listening to his divine teachings, but we'll also cherish precious moments spent with him.
Not Just Another Bhagwat Katha
You are the Yajman You are the Shrotha, This is your Bhagwat Katha!
​
This is a very unique and intermate experience for up to 110 people to enjoy this gyan yagna. Here everyone is yajman, this katha is for you! Surrounded by the Himalayas and on the foothills of Maa Annapurna the Bhagwat katha will take centre stage, no pre and post katha speeches no interruptions just the divine voice of Shri Shyambhai and his group.
​
With the limited numbers it will feel like Shri Shyambhai is reciting this katha just for you just like Sukdev Muni recited this katha for Maharaja Parikshit.
​
After the katha we will have wonderful moments around Pokhara with various other activities organised with most of these in attendance with Shri Shyambhai.
​
Our meals are freshly prepared by the hotel chefs with plenty of choices available. The chefs will prepare muti-national dishes along with Gujarati dishes during all meal times.
We invite you join us in this unique spiritual journey with Shri Shyambhai.
