Crystal Hermitage Gardens
Crystal Hermitage is the spiritual heart of Ananda Village and the home of Swami Kriyananda, Ananda’s founder. Beautiful terraced gardens, expansive vistas, and peace of mind await all those who visit Crystal Hermitage. Find solitude in our lovely Chapel that was inspired by the Porziuncola of Saint Francis or in Shrine of the Masters, which houses relics of our gurus and other great saints of Self-realization. Shop in our uplifting gift shop for friends or yourself. Or just enjoy some time in the Garden.
The Hermitage offers venues for weddings, receptions, workshops, and community events. Once a year we have a Spring Open House to share the 7000 tulips with guests from the surrounding area.
Our Guest House, just steps away, provides a relaxing atmosphere to rejuvenate and inspire your spirit. The two-bedroom house overlooks the Yuba River Canyon and is surrounded by trees. It is a perfect getaway for vacation or retreat.
