Pilgrimage to Babaji's Cave
April 10 - April 13
“‘Lahiri, you have come!’
The saint addressed me affectionately in Hindi.
‘Rest here in this cave. It was I who called you.’
“I entered a neat little grotto which contained several woolen blankets and a few kamandulus (begging bowls).
“‘Lahiri, do you remember that seat?’
The yogi pointed to a folded blanket in one corner."
We are transported in time and space through this beautiful account of the divine meeting between Mahavatar Babaji & Lahiri Mahasaya by Paramhansa Yogananda in the book Autobiography of a Yogi. This pilgrimage offers you the opportunity to meditate in this sacred cave and draw the blessings of Babaji.
