A Milestone Toward Satya Yuga: International Yoga Day 2026
On June 21, 2026, the sunrise over Jadan, Rajasthan, marked the 12th annual International Yoga Day at OM Ashram. More than 200 people—men, women, young and old—gathered at the magnificent Shiva Temple to prove that Yoga is a bridge to a harmonious future.
Our revered Gurudev, His Holiness Vishwaguru Mahamandaleshwar Paramahansa Shree Swami Maheshwarananda Puri Ji Maharaj, shared a powerful message for the occasion:
The International Day of Yoga is the first milestone toward Satya Yuga—not due to religion or science, but because it embodies reality: fostering inner peace, harmony, and love.
The Sacred Beginning
The morning began with a deep, collective silence.
An alignment of hearts: The day begins with a sacred opening prayer to foster inner peace.
