The celebration of Guru Purnima this month is a moment to offer our deepest respect and reverence to SHREE GURU.
Through Guru Pada Pujan and Yajna, the sadhaks discipline themselves to accept and follow the Atma Path and Guru Path with unwavering devotion. This time, Shree Guru bestowed the prasadam of Atma Pranaam—an offering of reverence to the Inner Self.
Furthermore, Shree Guru revealed that while this place and this yajna may seem to exist on this earthly land, in truth they do not… the whole realm had transcended into the Guru Gharana.
Shree Guru asked the sadhaks about their understanding of their Gotra, their genus lineage. With devotion, the sadhaks proclaimed their Gotra as a sacred lineage to be from SHREE GURU MAASHREE.

The monsoon sweeped across this land with the grandeur of a giant. Amidst this lush embrace of nature unfolded the sacred celebration of Ganesh Chaturthi. With devotion and love, the sadhaks crafted idols of Lord Ganesha following the divine dictum of Shree Guru, each representing their personal vision of the divine. They offered bhoga, flowers, and heartfelt worship, accompanied by the chanting of mantras and deep meditation.
Shree Guru imparted a sacred wisdom of Shree Ganesha embodying the purest essence, deeply connected to the Bhoomi Tatwa (element of earth). For this reason, He is revered as "Gana" (for all) and "Ish" (God). Ganesha is honored as "Pratham Pujya," the first deity to be worshipped before any other, signifying that the mind must first be cleansed and purified to embark upon the spiritual journey. The offering of durva or trina symbolizes a nature filled with gratitude, humility and contentment.
When purity and gratitude come together, the mind becomes ready to walk the spiritual path.
SEPTEMBER 2025
As in every year, the sacred Narayan Yajna was performed on the holy land of Badrinath. This year, the journey to Badrinath was filled with uncertainty due to natural disaster and landslides along the way. In that unpredictable journey, Shree Guru continued guiding and motivating the sadhaks to prepare their minds for any situation that might arise. Shree Guru reminded them that a sadhak's mind must be as resilient as a soldier's—ready for all circumstances and filled with acceptance. During that time, Shree Guru had to stay mostly in Rishikesh, where She led uplifting spiritual sessions twice daily. Observing her the sadhaks discovered how to remain content and steady, even amidst the uncertainties of life.
In the third week of September, the Ashram was filled with the spirit of Devi Pujan. The celebrations began with Mahalaya on the no-moon day, when, before dawn, the sadhaks offered tarpan in Dev Dhara—the stream encircling the ashram—on the final day of Pitru Paksha. This was followed by the Purnahuti Yajna on Pratipada, the first day of Navratri, where the sadhaks wholeheartedly dedicated themselves to their Ishta, their Shree Guru.
