Under the guidance of Shri Devatmananda Shamballa, about 60 members (including both meditators and non meditators) had the opportunity to visit various powerful divine energy centres as part of Char Dham Trip during the month of September. This trip was specially meant for karma burning. The places visited were Yamunothri, Gangothri, Kedarnath and Badrinath with additional visits to Uttarkashi, Dhari Devi temple, Rudra Prayag, Vyasa Gufa, and Vashishta Gufa.

Guru Poornima, also known as Vyasa Poornima, is a traditional celebration dedicated to the enlightened Masters or Gurus. It is the most auspicious day in the lives of the spiritual seekers when they offer their respect and gratitude to their spiritual Gurus. This time period is highly significant as during the month of Ashada, pure energies descend directly from Parabrahma loka. This year, Guru Poornima was celebrated on Monday, 3rd July at Vivekananda Dham in its full fervour and sanctity. The day was celebrated in the most sacred manner.

During the two-day programme on May 20th and 21st, Shri Devatmananda Shamballa conducted special meditations and revised the exercises, kriyas, yogasanas, Suryanamaskar, Poorva Dhyana Kriyas and other practices which were taught in one of the earlier retreats. On May 22nd, Akhanda Dhyana was conducted from 6.30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. It was a very auspicious day as it was the day of Lord Kalki Jayanthi.

On 18th May, special meditation session was conducted on account of Guruji Krishnananda’s Jayanthi at Vivekananda Dham between 11:30 a.m and 1 p.m. Shri Devatmananda Shamballa connected with the meditators through an online session and blessed everyone.
