Trance festival in Nepal 2015

The Universal Religion is simply LOVE. We are privileged to be part of this great time of change in history and, as messengers of love we are responsible for making this new world blossom. It is an exchange of ideas, music, dance, sharing of energy, positivity and emotions which only seem to spread and grow further when the festival finishes. If even a thousand people were to return to their lives after experiencing the power of Universal Religion, and each one lived with the same philosophy as during the festival, the world would slowly start to seem a borderless place. One where family and friendships transcend nations, language, color, age and even blood, where an entire generation will live true to the ideas of oneness, love and mutual respect. This is the idea of a universal religion—one that is inclusive, gets recreated and gathers strength every year, as new energies enters its space.

After taking a break for 2014 we are absolutely Reborn with lot of energy shifts and realization.

In the lap of the Himalayas we build an environment which brings together beautiful like-minded individuals, music devotees, creative artists and dance lovers from around the world! Come, discover the mystical mountains, and be part of this special experience where you can enjoy the infinite natural vistas while dancing to the beats of the top audio wizards from around the world

We invite all participants to respect the festival rules and be in harmony with all people and the surrounding environment to enhance their own personal experience in Nepal. The positive energy of a single person has the ability to make a change, and we at Universal Religion want to infuse this positivity back into the earth and the world, and in our own small way, help it to heal.

This year the main festival will take place from Friday 24th – Monday 27th of April 2015 and will go on non stop for 3 nights and 4 days .

Come partake in the 9th Edition with quest for love and understanding, come follow and preach the Universal Religion the Re:Birth:Edition
