Pilgrimage—a sacred journey—has the capacity, should we choose to engage it, to take us to the heart of our beingness. Pilgrimage offers those seeking Goddess in Her most powerful forms (for example, through Kali, any of the Mahavidyas, Matrikas, or Yoginis) an opportunity to discover Her mysteries more deeply and sweetly. Each voyage invites the devotee to delve deeper into her or his spiritual path, expand horizons, learn first-hand about living Goddess traditions and experience the history and culture of the birthplace of Tantra.

SHARANYA hosted annual pilgrimages to India from 2000 through 2009. We resumed in 2016, visiting sacred sites in West Bengal, Orissa, and Assam. Notably, these included temples and environs of Dakshineswar, Kalighat, Tarapith, Hirapur (a 64-yogini temple), Lankreshwar and Kamakhya, as well as the surrounding Mahavidya and nearby Shiva (Umananda),Ugra Tara, and Navagraha temples around Guwahati. <br><br>
