MAY 2026
Sadhana & Buddha Purnima
The month of May is regarded as an auspicious period for deep sadhana, even as the climate itself intensifies. As SHREE GURU MAASHREE reminds us, the true intensity of sadhana does not lie in external conditions, but in the wholehearted and truthful involvement of the mind in following the directives—without excuses, without wavering.
This month honors the sacred occasion of Buddha Purnima. As SHREE GURU teaches, imagine the intensity of a seeker's mind before which all worldly pleasures lose their allure—a mind so resolute that it does not hesitate to renounce the life of a king, leaving behind the palace in pursuit of the ULTIMATE TRUTH.
With heartfelt devotion to the name of GAUTAM BUDDHA, the living embodiment of GURU AVASTHA, sadhaks enter an ecstatic and divine state as they listen to the words of SHREE GURU.

JUNE 2026
Diksha Siksha Sanyas & Ikshanaa
June unfolded as a month of divine grace, where thirty days felt like the blessings of three full months. From Diksha Siksha Sanyas and the Ikshanaa program, every milestone was woven together by SHREE GURU's compassionate arrangement. It truly seemed as though time itself expanded to accommodate every sacred endeavor. By HIS divine will, every plan found its rightful place, and every auspicious intention blossomed into reality.
The Diksha Siksha sessions, organized to commemorate the completion of ten years of Sanyas Diksha, became a profound occasion of divine learning and inner transformation. Through HER illuminating guidance, SHREE GURU enriched the seekers with clarity on the path ahead, strengthening their sadhana and awakening the subtle seed of Truth that resides within every being.
Those blessed to participate in these sacred sessions experienced a deepened sense of commitment, sincerity, and spiritual resolve. The sessions by SHREE GURU served not only as guidance for the journey ahead but also as an inspiration to walk the path with renewed faith, discipline, and unwavering dedication.
Following this, the IKSHANAA program was conducted for sincere seekers aspiring to turn their gaze inward and embark on the journey of understanding their own minds. Through the compassionate guidance of SHREE GURU, the Ikshanaarthis were introduced to the profound practice of self-inquiry, while also experiencing the warmth, love, and reverence extended by the disciples at Shreejaashram.
The sessions left a deep and lasting impression on every participant. They expressed heartfelt gratitude for the transformative teachings, and deep meditation, sharing that a seed had been sown within them—a sincere longing to look within, transcend the limitations of the mind, and walk the path of inner freedom. Many conveyed their desire to spend more time in the divine presence of SHREE GURU and at SHREEJAASHRAM, not merely to experience its sanctity, but to fully absorb the wisdom, grace, and way of life it offers.

June 2026 marked a historical month in the annals of Shreejaashram Uttarann. It marked the completion of 10 years of Sannyas for a majority of the sadhaks in the institution. This occasion was consecrated through 9 days of sadhana, recognizing the intensity of the effects of sadhana on the lives of sadhaks. The Shiksha Diksha retreat was SHREE GURU's form of imparting knowledge to the sadhaks—to open their eyes and witness their lives and the Path they have been walking on since the past 10 years. It was a time of contemplation for the sadhaks and a test of their acceptance and acknowledgement of the teachings of SHREE GURU in their lives, opening the door to truly look within the Self and see the potential to bring light to the dark corners of the reluctant mind.
This was followed by Ikshanaa - Monsoon Edition, a 3 day residential programme at Shreejaashram, where seekers immerse themselves into the Aashramik life and begin to walk on the Path of sadhana, opening their minds to understand what it truly means to know oneself. This programme plants the seeds of self-knowledge and teaches practical ways to apply sadhana in everyday life while going with the flow of life.
The month of June, overall, was about Ikshanaa (to look within) for everyone who experienced the grace of being in the presence of SHREE GURU, within the ranges of their own capacity—a true testament to the inclusiveness of the Path of applied spirituality.
