THE LIBERATING FIRE OF
ARUNACHALA
IS CALLING YOU HOME...

PILGRIMAGE TO THE SELF 

28 February – 8 March 2026 |
Sparsa Resort,
​​​​​​​Tiruvannamalai, India

THE SACRED MOUNTAIN

THE FIRE OF STILLNESS

At the foot of Mount Arunachala, revered by sages as the very embodiment of Shiva, there burns an unseen fire — a current of Grace so fierce and tender that it dissolves the separate self into pure Being.

This is the mountain of liberation, the eternal flame that called Sri Ramana Maharshi into silence and revealed the Self that is beyond birth and death.

 That same living presence still permeates the air, saturates the caves, the stones, the trees — a field of awakening so palpable it cannot be described, only surrendered to.

Here, the mind cannot survive.

 Only the radiant stillness of Truth remains.

Arunachala is the Self itself,
silently pulling you into its heart
 — Sri Ramana Maharshi

“LISTEN TO THE QUIET WHISPERS OF YOUR HEART... FEEL THE MOUNTAIN CALLING YOU HOME.”

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“ When I first came to Arunachala I didn’t know what I would experience, but what I discovered was a fire of liberation so profound that it began to dismantle the ego, deconstructing the false identity I had come to believe was myself.
​​​​​​​

I was left shining as love in everything... everywhere.”

THE
RETREAT

ENTERING THE FIRE OF GRACE

Pilgrimage to the Self is Brandon Bays’ most powerful
offering — a profound 9-day
immersion in the spiritual fire of Arunachala, designed for those who are ready to burn through the illusion of separateness and awaken as the eternal Presence of Grace itself.

In the sacred atmosphere of this holy mountain, Brandon guides participants to surrender into the profound stillness, in which personal identity dissolves into limitless
Freedom. When you combine this dissolution with the power of Jourey work, the result is full
realisation of Self.

Each moment unfolds spontaneously from the issues that rise in the collective —

old structures dissolving, lifetimes of karma clearing, radiant love revealed as our true nature.

You are not “doing” this work —
Grace is doing it through you. Expect deep silence, laughter, tears, awe, and a stillness so vast it consumes all sense of “me.” This is not another retreat — it is a deep spiritual awakening, a return to what is real.

THE
RETREAT

ENTERING THE FIRE OF GRACE

The Sparsa Resort, nestled at the very foot of Arunachala, becomes our living ashram — a place of rest, nuture, and awakening.

Within its lush gardens and open-air terraces, you will find an intimate and cosseting embrace.  Morning yoga attunes the body to the vibration
of the mountain.

 Satsang unfolds under the open sky, where the power of Grace saturates everything, everywhere. At times, we will journey to Ramana’s caves and the ashram, entering the profound silence where he sat for decades.

 We will walk the sacred path around the
mountain in quiet devotion, allowing its radiance to strip away what we are not. Every moment here is a revelation — the presence
of the mountain never stops teaching.

THE MOUNTAIN LIVES IN YOU

When you leave Arunachala, you will not be the same.

The mountain’s fire will contine to burn within you — clear, vast, unshakable.

There is a peace that cannot be lost, a joy that does not depend on circumstance.

You carry home the fragrance of liberation itself — the living truth of who you have always been.

TESTIMONIALS

“This is by far my favourite retreat. Your deepest longing, your ultimate prayer, can be offered to The Mountain for the final liberation and realisation of Self. You could visit Arunachala on your own, but in this retreat the presence of Ramana’s grace pours through Brandon and we are all blessed by it. It’s a experience like no other. All parts of this retreat allows Self to reveal itself to Self. Liberation is avaliable. Don’t walk....run!”

“My pilgrimage to Arunachala was not a moment in time but a profound awakening — a dissolving into stillness, silence, and Grace. The mountain burned away the “me” I thought I was and revealed the quiet truth beneath it all. In that liberation, my inner voice was freed, and life began to move through me with a clarity, simplicity, and joy that felt like coming home.”

 ​​​​​​​- Andrea Walker
