Visa
There are two options now: You can get a 30 day Indian tourist visa on arrival. This visa is available now for most foreign Nationals. It is single entry only, and can only be obtained arriving at an international airport in India. It cannot be extended beyond the 30 days. Cost is the INR (Indian Rupee) equivalent of US$60. For more information or to apply go to: www.indianvisaonline.gov.in/visa/tvoa.html.
The second option is obtaining a 180 day Indian tourist visa in advance, which saves a lot of time clearing immigration at the airport. However it means filling in forms and sending away your passport. This visa can be single or multiple entry, and costs a little over A$100. (US$70) For more information or to apply go to: www.vfsglobal.com/india/australia.

This is the best time of year to visit Rishikesh, the yoga and spiritual capital of the world. Sri Mooji will be giving daily satsangs, to get a taste of his teachings go to www.mooji.org. There are many personal growth courses happening, and an abundance of yoga schools offer classes as well as teacher training. There are many ashrams where one can stay and some offer daily programs of satsang and teachings as well as yoga classes. The international Yoga Festival takes place in early March. There are also many natural health practitioners in Rishikesh, ayurveda being the main modality.
Why meet Mooji in person in Rishikesh? There are many reasons, being in the presence of a master our being is affected more than just by viewing a teacher on utube. We are all vibrational beings and affect each other. Rishikesh has been a spiritual abode for many Rishis (seers) throughout the ages, and many have gained enlightenment there and ended up establishing ashrams, teaching others what they had found. This is why Sri Mooji chooses Rishikesh for his yearly satsang season.
