Antiquity unfolded, scene by scene

Dear John,

Ananda Spiritual Travel hosts Sitabai Betts and Atman Goering, invite you to join them on pilgrimage in Israel, and Jordan, next autumn, to expand your understanding of the life of Jesus Christ, and to deepen your connection to Christ Consciousness.

In the all-time spiritual classic, Autobiography of a Yogi, by Paramhansa Yogananda, wrote about his visit to the Holy Land:

“Wandering day after day over the Holy Land, I was more than ever convinced of the value of pilgrimage. The spirit of Christ is all-pervasive in Palestine; I walked reverently by his [Christ’s] side at Bethlehem, Gethsemane, Calvary [the Holy Sepulcher Church], the holy Mount of Olives, and by the River Jordan [where Jesus was baptized by John] and the Sea of Galilee [where Jesus mainly taught during his 3.5 teaching years]. Our little party visited the Birth Manger [in Bethlehem, Palestine], Joseph’s carpentry shop [in Nazareth], the tomb of Lazarus [in Palestine], the house of Martha and Mary [in Palestine], the hall of the Last Supper [in Jerusalem]. Antiquity unfolded; scene by scene, I saw the divine drama that Christ once played for the ages.”
