In June 2026, we are celebrating the 100th Birth Anniversary of Swami Kriyananda at Ananda Village (California, USA). We invite you to be a part of this celebration!
Alongside, we will also visit some of the most cherished spiritual sites closely associated with Paramhansa Yogananda.
Our pilgrimage will first take us to the celebrations at Ananda Village. And, then to some of the most revered spiritual landmarks, the SRF Lake Shrine, Mt. Washington, Encinitas, and Yogananda ji’s Forest Lawn Crypt. This journey offers a unique opportunity for deep spiritual renewal, as well as the chance to connect with like-hearted souls who share this sacred path.
Whether you travel with us from India or join at key points along the way, we welcome you to be part of this inspiring adventure.
