In our attempts to offer new products and services which support your efforts at personal and spiritual growth, The Conscious Living Foundation is now offering for the first time, tours and pilgrimages to various parts of the world.

Our first effort in this direction, is the following escorted tour of India:

Tour No. 2 - Pilgrimage To India - A Journey of the Heart:

This escorted Pilgrimage to India is recommended for those who wish to experience the spiritual side of India at it’s best. Focusing exclusively on reverential visits to the places associated with the great Guru Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda and His spiritual lineage, this journey of the heart takes you to northern India to visit many of the places described in the spiritual classic “Autobiography of a Yogi” by Paramahansa Yogananda.

You will thrill at seeing the lofty Himalayan mountains and you will blissfully float on the ancient holy Ganges River, but even greater experiences await you! On this soul-etching pilgrimage, you will soar in gratitude as you take the dust of Babaji’s Cave or sit under the litchi tree where The Master taught on the sacred grounds of Ranchi. Your heart will know the grandeur of immersion in lofty thoughts of The Great Ones as you visit the spots hallowed by Them, and you will be floating in joy each time you give your heart in stillness to the spiritual vibrations that abound in these holy places.

If you are wanting a spiritual boost or a new beginning, this journey of the heart is a trip of a lifetime, and for many the pilgrimage experience gives a new perspective on their spiritual life; it is a dream fulfilled for those wanting to say with The Guru “…I am hallowed, my body touched that sod.”

Next Pilgrimage: Jan. 13 - Feb. 10, 2007

NOTE: The January Pilgrimage to India will be very special because it will include an historic event at the YSS Ranchi Ashram during their Sharad Sangam (Convocation). An expansive new YSS temple will be inaugurated during the week of classes and festivities. It is anticipated that at least one of the SRF Board of Directors will be going to India to dedicate the beautiful new temple on the YSS Ranchi Ashram grounds during the Sharad Sangam.

The Itinerary -

The 4-week pilgrimage: January 13 – February 10, 2007

Before Ranchi, we will go to many places associated with Sri Paramahansa Yogananda, including the Taj Mahal, Delhi YSS, Dwarahat and Babaji’s Cave, Benares (Varanasi – home of Lahiri Mahasaya and Trailanga Swami), and many other experiences of Sri Yoganandaji's India.

At Ranchi, we will attend the Sharad Sangam (convocation/class series) of the Yogoda Satsanga Society Of India (YSS/SRF). Held on the peaceful ashram grounds founded by Paramahansa Yogananda, an anticipated 1500 devotees from all over India and the world will be in attendance. Classes and satsangas are given in English as well as Hindi. Delicious Indian food and snacks are served. Group chanting and meditations are held twice daily. The Master’s storeroom bedroom and the Smriti Mandir are available for private meditation. The historic dedication ceremony of a beautiful new temple will take place during the festivities of the YSS Ranchi Ashram Convocation. This is one not to be missed!

After Ranchi we will go to Kolkata, Dakshineswar, and Serampore visiting Sri Yuketeswarji’s hermitage home, the Levitating Saint’s bedroom, Sri Yoganandaji’s 4 Garpar Attic room, and the Kali Temple – again, those are just some of the highlights of many soul-etching experiences of this journey of the heart pilgrimage. For many, the experiences of this pilgrimage have been life and consciousness changing; giving a deeper, sweeter, closer relationship with God and Gurus.
