May 27: Pilgrimage as Yoga – Inner Transformation through Sacred Travel 
     Swami Chidekananda

Even though scriptures claim that visiting holy places associated with saints can deeply transform one’s spiritual life, why does this transformation happen so rarely even for serious spiritual aspirants? The answer is that we fail to follow Sri Ramakrishna’s systematic preparation and approach prior to, during, and after visiting places of pilgrimage. In this presentation, we will explore Sri Ramakrishna’s pilgrimage mindset and how to apply it in our own lives.
