Meherana
Meherana is a universal center for spiritual renewal dedicated to Avatar Meher Baba and His principles of active love and service to both the Meher Baba community and all humanity. It is intended for the enhancement and strengthening of spiritual life, without supplanting professed religious convictions or beliefs.
The center is to be made available for Sahavas, meetings, and retreats, both group and individual; and for the development and support of service projects. It is to be organized and implemented according to democratic principles.
— Meherana Mission Statement
Meherana (“Meher Come”) is a retreat center located on 289 acres in Mariposa County, California, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, an hour’s drive from Yosemite National Park.
Meherana currently hosts a major gathering or Sahavas (in the company of the Master) twice a year, in the Spring and in the Fall. Camping facilities with outdoor sanitation systems are offered onsite. Many visitors stay in one of Mariposa’s motels or bed-and-breakfasts and then join campers for daily activities.
