Experiencing the Sacred Waters of the Ganges
Aug 14, 2025As devotees, we have a responsibility not only to live in the light, but to share it with the world. One of the most profound ways to do this is through spiritual pilgrimage, where our hearts and minds are opened to the Divine in ways that ordinary travel cannot offer.
During our upcoming pilgrimage, one of the offerings will be a journey by boat along the sacred waters of the Ganges, allowing us to feel firsthand the connection between the spiritual and physical worlds.
Being on pilgrimage along the Ganges is not mere travel it is a journey of the soul. It is an answered call to the higher Self within us awakening to the truth that, like the river, we are constantly flowing toward something greater than ourselves. Each ripple beneath the boat, each glimmer of sunlight on the water, becomes a reminder that we are carried not just by the river, but by the timeless grace of the Divine itself.
Sincerely,
Ananda LA Team
