We are most fortunate that by His Grace we have been blessed to be able join together on an inner and outer journey to Prasanthi Nilayam! What is the purpose of a pilgrimage? Swami answers this important question during His Divine Discourse, 28th February, 1964:

"As a result of the pilgrimage, your habits must change for the better, your outlook must widen, your inward look must become deeper and become more steady. You must realise the omnipresence of God, and the Oneness of Humanity. You must learn tolerance and patience, charity and service. After the pilgrimage is over, sitting in your own home and ruminating over your experiences, you must determine to seek the higher, the richer and the more real experience of God-realisation. I bless you that you may form that determination and strive step by step to achieve that Goal”.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba

In short, the entire process, from pre-pilgrimage, pilgrimage, to post-pilgrimage is that of transformation using the principles of Love, Sacrifice, and Unity.

1008 Day Sadhana Initiatives

Leading up to the pilgrimage, we should intensify our personal and group 1008 Day Sadhana Initiatives that were started in August of 2021. During the pilgrimage we should resolve to stay the entire duration, keep our focus on Swami, and attend all the uplifting activities planned for our benefit. After the pilgrimage, we should reflect, pray, and show our appreciation to Swami by being better human beings who are closer to earning the designation of “devotee”.
