The blessings received through the act of pilgrimage are profound. It is both an act of dedication, one which expresses our desire to be transformed in the purifying vibrations of the places blessed by saints and devotees, and an act of faith, as we express our trust that God will guide our footsteps surely and safely to our journey’s end.

Pilgrimage has the power to transform you in ways that words cannot describe. On this sacred pilgrimage to Italy, we will have the opportunity to visit and dive into the life of Italy’s beloved Saint Francis of Assisi and other great saints.
We will for instance, experience meditating where he first experienced the stigmata, the holy places of Padre Pio, the sacred grounds of where St. Michael would appear, and much more.
If you feel called to join us on this sacred journey, we welcome you with open arms.
This pilgrimage is a powerful spiritual journey, carefully designed with decades of experience visiting extraordinary sites made holy by Paramhansa Yogananda and the saints and masters described in his Autobiography of a Yogi.
Hosted by Ananda India and co-led with Ananda Washington and Portland, this pilgrimage will bestow many sacred blessings and priceless memories of a lifetime.
