We invite you to join guided pilgrimages to our ashram centers, temples, and retreats, where the natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere offer refreshment to mind and spirit. Many of these spiritual centers were established by Paramahansa Yogananda during his lifetime, and have since become places of pilgrimage for thousands of people each year, who come from all parts of the globe to visit the sites where this great world teacher lived, worked, and communed with God.

Please note that the pilgrimages to the Mother Center, Lake Shrine, the Hollywood Temple, and our Guru’s crypt at Forest Lawn Memorial-Park will be conducted at the same times as the morning kirtans and satsangas. There will be kirtans and talks at the pilgrimage sites.

The ashram centers, temples, and retreats will only be open to those
attending the pilgrimages.
