Sacred pilgrimage in Bulgaria: “Magical Bulgaria: initiation and integration of the sacred gifts of the womb caves and cosmic megaliths; rejuvenating the body at the mineral springs” was Aug 5 to Aug 13 2024 (8 nights, 7 full days). 2025 dates TBD. The focus of this sacred journey is for you to experience directly the transmissions of the womb caves and megaliths, which are the creator’s primal temples and cosmic portals and technologies, connecting the individual soul and body with the universe. Many of these ancient natural temples are situated on top of crystals and are living beings transmitting pure divine energies and source consciousness unfiltered by religions, traditions, or lineages. In addition, you can receive guidance, practical tips, and energy and consciousness transmissions to better open up to and absorb the gifts of the sacred temples. See more information, testimonials, and pics/videos below.

Why Bulgaria?

Bulgaria is a prime example of a hidden gem. At the cross-roads of Europe, Asia, and Africa, the country has a forgotten deep spiritual history. To mention just one: Orpheus, the famous flute player from the Rhodope Mountains in Bulgaria, taught way before the Buddha, Jesus, and non-dual Tantra (intriguingly, the monotheistic ancient divinity in the Bulgarian pantheon is Tangra which means sky; I believe that Tangra and Tantra are related). Orpheus taught that there is only one God, that each of us is a divine spark, and that our divinity can be re-awakened through music, i.e. mantra.

Bulgaria is blessed with so much beauty and bounty: mountains; the Black Sea; rivers; one of the most fertile soils in the world: organic food; famous for cheese and yogurt; famous for rose oil and herbs including lavender; natural resources: gold, copper, coal, etc; crystals; mineral springs for each major part of the body; megaliths, womb caves, pyramids; Thracians, Orpheus, and much more.

“Bulgaria, the place where my deeper spiritual journey started. My Bulgarian trip was and still is a magical adventure, outside and inside! Bulgaria surprised me fully and unexpected! The holy places are precious gems, each one!

One sacred place has captured a special place in my heart: ‘The big womb cave’, she took my breath away when she embraced me with all her warmth and gentleness! The walk to get there was a pilgrimage for me. What made my heart skip a beat was the the Rhodope Mountains, it’s a special soul! She reawakened the natural in me, the innocent, the cheerful, the playful that leads to softening, stillness, space to be in the moment.

An amazing unique moment that I also cherish, is when we visited the tomb of Orpheus, where countless storks flew in circles above us and just on 8/8, August 8.Storks spiritually represent new beginnings, spiritual renewal, growth. And number 8 means infinity and abundance. I feel blessed to also had the opportunity to discover the megaliths where peace and deep stillness blew me away.

I am very grateful that this crazy Bulgarian teacher crossed my path! Shambhuji, with all my heart, thank you, thank you, thank you, for all these precious blessings, one by one! For all the deep lessons I learned that brought me to my Self!” Prema

“I just wanted to share the experiences I had on Shambhu's sacred temples pilgrimage in Bulgaria.  I had  several experiences that were absolutely amazing and gave me power and deep belief  in freedom  on a daily basis even today. When I have a particularly rough time, I refocus and think of one particular experience in Tatul, the home of the tomb of Orpheus and the triple womb cave, that completely blew me away, and I always regain inner repose and the strength to face my obstacles. Thank you so much Shambhu for your dedication and fantastic pilgrimage.” Ise

About sacred ancient temples

“The way the body has temples, i.e., cakras, and roads/antennas to source, i.e., the four central channels, the same way the Earth has natural wombs, i.e., cakras and natural roads/antennas to source, i.e., megaliths. Earth temples amplify the inner human temples. Many saints meditate in caves for many years until a saint becomes a walking temple. No words can describe the experience of the natural temples, womb caves and megaliths, in Bulgaria.” Shambhu 

“Can a temple transform an ordinary person into an extraordinary being? Ancient texts refer to temples as living beings, intermediaries between matter and spirit that serve to transform people ‘into gods, into bright stars.’ They also describe a global flood in 9703 BC, and how groups of survivors — Seven Sages, Shining Ones, Followers of Horus — set out to ‘rebuild the former mansions of the gods’ by creating a vast, interconnected network of power places upon the Earth’s energy hotspots. And the temples that rose from them would serve future generations whenever they lost their spiritual compass. What’s more, science has now discovered these portals are still working. Based on solid evidence, this original work uncovers the origin of sacred sites, the seven laws that transform ordinary locations into portals, how the measurable energy in ancient temples induces altered states of consciousness, and why we seek out these mysterious places.” by Freddy Silva, from his book The Divine Blueprint

The Womb Caves and Megaliths of Bulgaria are Cosmic Portals

There are thousands of megaliths and hundreds of womb caves throughout the territory of Bulgaria. Nothing else on this planet can be likened to both the quantity and quality of these sites. They are all natural earth formations with signs of some human imprinting. They are the creator’s own primal temples. There is no religion, tradition, or lineages associated with these sacred sites. Their energy is pristine purity. The experience is beyond words.

According to Beinsa Douno (Petar Danov), the Bulgarian spiritual teacher (1864-1944) who founded the White Brotherhood, the number of cosmic portals in these places is as follows: Bulgaria: 54, India: 17, The Alps: 8 (of which 2 in Switzerland).

Bulgaria’s Spiritual Heritage

The map above shows DNA research depicting that the Aryan homeland was in the Balkans including Bulgaria (Source:“WHERE THE ‘SLOVENS’ AND ‘INDO-EUROPEANS’ CAME FROM?” DNA-Genealogy provides the Answer, by Anatoly Klyosov, in Russian Journal, No 21, 2008). The paper states that “This method made it possible to convincingly demonstrate that the ‘Indo-European languages’ were not the original ones, instead, the Proto-Slavic and the Aryan are…And so, we found the homeland of the ‘Pre-Slovens’, the very same Aryans. It is the Balkan, Dinaric Alps, Rhodope mountains..." The Rhodope Mountains are in Bulgaria.

I have attempted to sketch Bulgaria’s spiritual heritage in the visual below. Below the timeline you will find a lot of pics and some videos.
