September 2025 Newsletter


Dear Friends,
OM !

We send you warm greetings from Ajatananda Ashram, trusting that this Newsletter finds you in peace and high spirits!

The year 2025 began in Tiruvannamalai with Swamiji’s annual 10-day programme in January, followed by three vibrant weeks of Satsangs at the Ashram in Rishikesh. In the spring, his journey led him to France, the UK, Belgium, Romania, and Spain. Many of you joined these beautiful gatherings filled with light and joy!

Looking ahead, we are happy to share with you the agenda of upcoming events for this autumn and the beginning of 2026.

We would also like to remind you of the International Residential Retreat in Assisi (December 12–16), for which registration will open soon, in early October.

Looking forward with joy to being together again, whether online or in person.

Swamiji sends his Love and blessings to all of you!

With heartfelt wishes,
The Ajatananda Ashram Team
