Unforgettable times in sacred places

The Pilgrimage program is created to fulfil your heart’s yearning. When you walk with Master Sri Avinash and get the chance to talk with him as a Master and a friend, it is something that your heart will never forget. These moments you will carry with you for the rest of your life.

Deep in your heart, have you ever wondered what it’s like to spend time in Master Sri Avinash’s presence as you walk together through the wilderness of nature? To see the Master in his natural divine ways in such a sacred and intimate setting is really something hard to describe.

Hike with the Master through the lush beauty of the Volcanic Eifel Region in Germany, eat a simple meal in the Master’s presence, and relax in silence in the specialness of the moment. Join him in praising the divine and giggle with him like children that know no limitations. This is the Pilgrimage.

“May this Pilgrimage open your heart in love of yourself, love of life, and love of the divine.”

About the Volcanic Eifel (Vulkaneifel) Region

The Pilgrimage locations and the accommodation in Manderscheid are set in the heart of the Vulkaneifel Region, in a section called “GesundLand Vulkaneifel.” This literally translates to “Healthy Country Volcanic Eifel”, owing to the health-giving properties of the region that people have enjoyed since Roman times. More recently, it has been internationally recognised as a UNESCO Global Geopark due to the unique geological, natural and cultural heritage of the region.

The beautiful nature and pristine landscapes of the Vulkaneifel were formed by a rich and active volcanic past. Today, luscious forests, maars (crater lakes), mountains, rivers and valleys are the gifts left behind. This region offers an abundance of beauty and wonder, making it the perfect setting for the Pilgrimage.
