With the changing times, everybody is becoming modern. But, does becoming modern mean becoming atheist or losing spirituality? The answer is obviously no, so why do every time you plan a vacation, you think of Goa, Manali, Ladakh, and so on but never of a spiritual place. Why are people least interested in going on spiritual tours? Have people lost faith in God? Many more questions flash in mind if we ponder upon this topic. But the only thing we need to remember is however modern we may become, we must never forget that supreme power that keeps us going. So, next time before planning a trip to Goa, plan a small tour to Varanasi as the Varanasi spiritual tour would make you and your family experience such sort of inner peace that the Goa trip probably won’t. As people are losing spiritual values it has become the need of the hour that they plan more spiritual tours so that they as well as their children stay connected to their spiritual roots. There are many direct as well as indirect benefits of going on such tours. WHY GO ON SPIRITUAL TOURS? Inner peace and presence of God: Our mind is always under pressure and busy thinking about tomorrow. But nobody knows whether they will be able to see the next sunrise or not. But as soon as you see the deity there, your mind at once stops wandering and becomes calm if your spirit is true. You experience inner peace and also experience the presence of God around you. Although God is omnipresent, yet it is believed that these are the places where God once resided and also keeps on residing in form of the deities and the shrines. Knowledge of customs, culture, and beliefs: In case you are not aware of the customs and traditions of your forefathers and the beliefs of your religion, you must go on a spiritual tour as soon as possible. If you are unaware your children too would be unaware of this and if you show no interest, they would rather be more reluctant to know, and at this point, you as well as your upcoming generations would lose the connection with the religious history and the traditions. The people of these places have kept the culture and traditions alive, so whenever you go there, you get to experience things and acknowledge facts that you were probably not aware of in the past. Economically beneficial: Such tours are also economically beneficial as they generate revenue for the government. It also generates employment in the forms of guides, helpers, and provides more work to craftsmen, auto drivers, rickshaw-pullers. On the whole standard of living of people improves. Even the revenue that is generated is used for the betterment of that area, say, in Varanasi, many developments have taken place in comparison to past years owing to revenue that was generated in the past years as well as the contributions from the central government. Embrace yourself: Such tours give you time to devote to yourself. Visiting religious places brings you more close to your beliefs and realize the importance of your personal beliefs. In your busy routines, you hardly get time to embrace yourself but at these places, you can discover yourself from within and embrace yourself to the fullest. You can discover within yourself the reason for your existence. So, you can plan a tour to any of the sacred places as per your liking and convenience. These days, even traveling agencies plan tours and provide different packages. Say, spiritual tour package Varanasi may be available on different sites for a different number of days at different prices. You can choose the most suitable one and spend your vacation in a peaceful location this time.
