Few countries are as culturally diverse as Mauritius. Indeed, among its 1.25 million inhabitants, Mauritius has a real mix of ethnicities and cultures where Hindus, Christians, Muslims and Buddhists live together and make the island a place of diversity. This diversity is felt everywhere in Mauritius: in the kitchen, in the streets with the various religious establishments and temples, as well as in the languages spoken on the island.
While visiting Mauritius, take the opportunity to cultivate your spirituality by visiting the buildings that make up the island's diversity.
An energy vortex in Mauritius
A rather unusual place in Mauritius, although it would be more than worthwhile to make a detour. Installed in 2007, an energy vortex was Cathy Muller's idea. The plan? 14 energy vortexes around the world, the first of which was activated in Mauritius on July 31, 2007. The role of these vortexes is to allow interactivity between "different dimensions". Thus, through this path of stones, "Beings of Light", mainly those specialising in energy therapies, can intervene. The purpose of these vortexes is mainly physical and spiritual healing.
You can also take advantage of this connection with the special stones to meditate, pray, be inspired... everything depends on what you are looking for. The premises are accessible to all and free of charge as long as you venture into them in silence and respect.
You can access the vortex by the Coastal Road - Riambel.
Due to a very diverse population, many religions coexist in harmony in Mauritius, so the island is composed of several religious institutions. While passing through the northern coast of Mauritius, you can admire a very interesting famous church. At Cap Malheureux there is a small church with a red roof just in front of the bay, Notre-Dame Auxiliatrice. Built in 1938, the village of the church, unfortunately, owes its name to all the shipwrecks that have taken place on the coast and this small church benefits from a spectacular setting to discover during an excursion to the north of the island. Avoid Sundays if you want to visit the church because Masses attract a large number of people.
Mauritius also has a sacred lake for the Hindu religion Ganga Talao to which you can go for a spiritual visit. Ganga Talao is a crater lake located in a remote mountainous area in the Savanna district of Mauritius. The first group of pilgrims to Ganga Talao came from the village of Triolet (Mauritius) and was led by Pandit Giri Gossayne of Terre Rouge in 1898. On the great night of Shivai, one of the most important gods of the Hindu religion, this lake welcomes up to 500,000 pilgrims who go there by foot or car. Tradition says that Shivai, flying over the land with his wife Parvati, who marvelled at the beauty of Mauritius, dropped a tear. This tear became the lake of the Great Basin. During the Maha Shivaratree festival, in January or February, the population comes to bathe in the sacred water of this lake and the faithful deposit offerings in the temple.
