Shiva Valley (Goa)- The Temple of Trance HD

Tuesday nights at Shiva Valley are a ritual, not just for me, but for many, an almost holy indulgence that has lasted over 10 years. As the sun sets on the razor sharp horizon of Anjuna beach, the music turns up and the people turn on. Trance devotees from across the world (and not to forget the bus from Arambol) make the pilgrimage to Shiva Valley to be part of a reality that one only manages to glimpse into at the European summer festivals. Biggest names in the Global trance scene, like Earthling, Avalon, Tristan, Nigel, Ajja, Raja Ram, not only bless the dance floor with their mind warping genius from across the turn table, but also penetrate the crowd as it pumps with a unified frequency that’s hard to describe. The Gods are as divine as the devotees who worship them at the temple that is Shiva Valley. On the dance floor, surrounded by the sublime murals of Hindu gods and neon lights that make each pair of eyes shine and teeth glow (as the smiles get wider), the people follow the music and the music follows them right back! If Shiva Valley is a Temple, one can meet Rabbis, Buddhist Monks, Hindu Sadhus and Persian Sufis all meditating while medicating.
