“गंग सकल मुद मंगल मूला , सब सुख करनी हरनी सब सूला"

- gaṅga sakala muda maṅgala mūlā, saba sukḥa karani harani saba sūla-

"The Gangā is the root of all joys and auspiciousness, granting all happiness, removing all pain". 

Coming from the Ramcharitmānas, a revered poetic epic by the 16th-century saint-poet Tulsidas, this verse describes the divine and purifying nature of the sacred Gangā River. 

The Ganga is not merely water flowing across the land; she is a sacred presence flowing through the soul, a living embodiment of heritage, culture and tradition. For centuries, seekers have stood on her banks and felt a quiet awakening. As she moves tirelessly from the mountains to the sea, she teaches us surrender, grace, and the art of letting go. Each ripple carries the wisdom of renewal; each sunrise on her banks whispers that life is a continuous offering. To behold the Ganga is to feel a doorway open within—one that leads to gratitude, humility, and a deeper connection with the divine that lives in all things.

Inspired by these thoughts, Music+ Retreats invites you to be a part of its Soul nourishing musical retreat on the banks of Mā Gangā.

In the quiet embrace of a small village called Netalā in Uttarkashi, where the Himālayās rise like ancient guardians and the air carries the fragrance of cedar and devotion, Ma Ganga flows with a rare, soul-stirring purity. It is here, on her sacred banks, that our musical retreat becomes more than a gathering—it becomes a pilgrimage of sound, silence, and self.

This retreat is an invitation to immerse yourself in the vast spaciousness and stillness of the Himalayan mountain range, to connect on a deeper level with your spirit through meditation and Yogic practices, while being warmly welcomed by the traditional culture and colourful ancient temples. This  deep 9 days musical Retreat  is based upon the inherent power of sound and voice as a transforming lifetime experience and discovery of a new ‘YOU’
