This year, there were two full moons in July and we celebrated Guru Purnima on the second one, 31st July, expressing deepest gratitude to our Guru Mohanji and guru principle working through Him and through everything that surrounds us or even working through us. “If you have firm faith and conviction in your path, tradition or Guru, that itself will lead you, guide you. All you need is firm faith and conviction.” Read or watch Mohanji’s Guru Purnima Message 2015.
On this special day we enjoyed global Skype satsang with Mohanji which was hosted in the UK.
You can also have a glimpse into how our teams’ hearts worldwide were touched and how they touched the hearts of others leading by example of wisdom and compassion.

Live Skype sessions were live streamed with our blessed world families in Australia, India, UAE, Russia, Serbia and South Africa. After the Skype satsangs we participated in Hawan, Yagna and did Shirdi Baba Arati. We also enjoyed Veda chanting, satsang and Arati. A wonderful Homam was performed by Pundit Gowri Shankar with AUMs seen emanating from the scared fire blessing the world and mother earth. Everyone performed Arati with gratitude to all the masters who have been a beacon of light to mankind. Sri Rudram vedic chanting further purified all the elements of Gaia followed by an uplifting Satsang with Mohanji touching our hearts with profound wisdom.

Thereafter, the group chanted the Mahamrityunjay mantra 108 times for Mohanji’s health and wellbeing, followed by Power of Purity meditation. We then did a paduka puja and concluded with Mohanji’s aarti. Everyone partook of prasad after this and counted their blessings for being able to meet their Guru and for the events of the day.

2. On this special day, we had a deep Power of Purity meditation at Vodaphone Shared Services, EON IT Park, Pune. We were very warmly welcomed by the staff and the receptivity of people was refreshing. It was great and encouraging to see this initiative by the health and wellness team of Vodaphone Shared services. They certainly acknowledged meditation and Power of Purity as a great cleansing tool for the health and peace of mind of their employees.
Most of the people gathered hadn’t practised meditation before but could go into deep state during meditation. Some felt floating, as if in another world and completely forgot about their body, the chair they were sitting on or that they were in office. Some felt refreshed and recharged after the afternoon session and looked forward to work with vigour and enthusiasm.
A special mention to Mr. Ashish Deshmukh from the Health, Safety and Wellness division for extending all support to us.
JABALPUR
On auspicious occasion of Guru Purnima the team organized Annadan on banks of the river Narmada. Annadan started with centuries old rituals of Aarti and bhog to the river Narmada.

Ammucare extended its heartfelt thanks to our members Nripendra Chauhan & Deepak Parekh for organizing such beautiful seva activity.
“What a fulfilling experience and a wonderful gesture by the organization. The Narmada amongst other sacred rivers in India holds a special place in our hearts for many significant religious events involving those rivers. When I conduct prayers, I offer to the Lord water from the sacred rivers. Blessed are those who have participated in that activity.” Kuben Govender said.

- Namaste Guruji and Yashikji, blessings to you on Guru Purnima not only today but always. Thank you for all your love, guidance and lessons you show us. We, as humans are shallow people and the day I really really believed in you, you changed my life. Not only for me but my family as well. I am indebted to you. With this blessing, I promise to spread your teachings to the best of my ability. My humble gratitude and prostatations unto thee. I also want to thank my Yashik bhai for showing and nurturing us always. Without his blessings, this path would have not been possible. We love you unconditionally and I say this with deep gratitude from the bottom of my heart. Bless you both ❤. Love always from Ramesh, Seema, Shai and Arav
- Read how Yashik Singh expressed Gratitude on Guru Purnima.
- Merudanda ashram changed the name into Dattatapovan:
“One this very special day of Guru Poornima 2015, Mohanji has showered his grace onto us and has changed the name of Merudanda Ashram. He has blessed us with the new name of DATTATAPOVAN.
This name comes from the three root words, Dattatreya, Tapasya and Vana. Tapasya means austerity, and intense spiritual practice. Vana, meaning forest, or wilderness.
So the new name refers to the forest of Lord Dattatreyas spiritual practice. A place where lord Datta lives. A place where he is always present.
This again confirms the blessing that Mohanji is always at the ashram, and is always there to provide comfort and direction.
Thank you so very much for this great blessing Babaji. You are the most merciful,” says Yashik.
The Dattatapovan Ashram, is a small but growing temple dedicated to the Divine. The principle deity is our Guru, Shree Rajayogi MohanJi.
The temple is a place where everyone is welcome, irrespective of caste, race, religion or sexuality etc. In the eyes of the Divine we are all one, we are all eternal beings of light.
Dattatapovan Ashram is based at 4 Luton Place, Westville North, Durban, South Africa.
It has been blessed by Shree MohanJi to be a shakti-Stanam, a seat of Divine energy. This can be felt as soon as you enter the temple.
4. Arusha Sewram from Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal
shared her unusual auspicious experience:
On the auspicious evening of Guru Purnima I lit a candle to offer gratitude to all the Gurus in my life, including life, which has been my biggest teacher. The next morning my mum noticed a Ganesha (Remover of obstacles) in the candle wax…I know that all obstacles are being removed through the Divine’s grace….eternal gratitude and incredibly blessed.

RUSSIA
Thank you our dear Guru.
We’ve already had several Power of Purity meditations in Russia. Some people who are really sensitive and open to this light want to meditate every week. It may sound surprising, but we do have meditations every Thursday in our small Siberian town. :)) You are always with us, Mohanji, we know it, we feel it.
AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND
Dear Mohanji,
Mohanji there is an ever-growing community here in Australia and New Zealand of people who are becoming consciously, or unconsciously transformed by your blazing light and immense purity.
On this occasion of Guru Purnima 2015, please receive the most sincere and fervent regards, respects and wishes for your strong robust health, protection, success and happiness.
From Rada in Western Australia, to Smriti, Anjali and the dedicated group in Melbourne, to Sydney, to Steve OM in Northern New South Wales, and to the many lives you have touched through your meditations on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland and in the Whitsundays region of North Queensland with Caroline, and all the way across the Tasman Sea to New Zealand where Sandra Naidoo sends through a very special thank you for all you’ve done for her and her family.
We love you Mohanji! Words simply cannot convey the gratitude, love and devotion that is flowing to you today from this part of the world (and so many others !). We are all looking forward to your visit to Australia and New Zealand in 2016. It is hard, because it seems so far away! Many are longing to finally meet you in person.
Mohanji today we cherish your Grace and honour you! Thank you so much!
Om Sri Rajayogi Mohanji Namah Aum. Om. Om. Om.
