Religion Tour of Bangalore

Religion Tour of Bangalore

 India is considered the epicentre for spiritual awakening and religion. The land of the nature-revering Hindush River people soon gave birth to strong religions like Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism. It welcomed from its shores Christianity, Islam, and Zoroastrianism. And they say that the number of named Hindu demi-gods might outnumber the number of practicing Hindus! At the same time, beyond and before religion, India was the land of spirituality. It still holds a mystic magnetic effect on seekers of the truth, who recognise the limitations of scientific research and are looking for the answer to that yogic question: WHO AM I? Put on your Kurta and get on the Spirituality and Religion.
