From June 30 to July 7, 2026, Ananda Margiis, Acaryas, families, and friends gathered at Ananda Kanan Master Unit in Missouri for the annual Ananda Marga New York Sector Summer Conference.

The eight-day gathering offered a joyful balance of spiritual practice, learning, creativity, recreation, organizational planning, and community life. The program included three Akhanda Kiirtanas, collective meditation, Dharma Cakras, seminar classes, spiritual talks, a full day of Ananda Mela workshops, two RAWA cultural programs, children’s activities, and an interactive PROUT workshop.

One of the most popular activities was the outing to Blue Spring, where participants enjoyed swimming, exploring the natural surroundings, meditation, kiirtana, and a collective meal beside the river. On July 4, conference participants joined the Independence Day parade in Willow Springs with Nagar Kiirtana and Ananda Marga banners, sharing a joyful and uplifting presence with the local community.

Ananda Mela offered eight workshops covering Ayurveda, Prabhat Saḿgiita, bhajans, PROUT and Neohumanism, Neohumanist Education, tie-dye, farming, and Nonviolent Communication. The children’s program was another highlight, with face painting, drawing, water activities, nature exploration, and many opportunities for play and friendship.

The two RAWA programs revealed the remarkable creative talents within our community. Children, teenagers, and adults shared music, dance, drama, and other cultural performances in an atmosphere of encouragement and joy.

The conference concluded with organizational meetings, regional and departmental planning, an awards ceremony, and a spontaneous three-hour Akhanda Kiirtana. Participants departed with beautiful memories, renewed spiritual inspiration, and a strengthened determination to serve the mission throughout the coming year.

Heartfelt gratitude goes to Ácárya Unmantránanda Avadhúta, the principal coordinator; Ácárya Diiptimánánanda Avadhúta; Avadhútiká Ánanda Acirá Ácáryá; and all the Acaryas, volunteers, cooks, organizers, artists, teachers, children, and participants whose dedicated service made the conference possible.

Throughout June 2026, Ananda Marga joined thousands of people in celebrating the 12th International Day of Yoga under this year’s theme, “Yoga for Healthy Ageing.”

The celebrations began with a program organized by Ananda Marga at Queens College on June 13 and continued through a remarkable series of gatherings at the Sheraton Hotel in Edison, the United Nations Headquarters, Tillman Chapel at the Church Center for the United Nations, Hartsdale, Times Square, the Unisphere in Queens, and the Consulate General of India in New York.

Ananda Marga Acaryas and members joined yoga teachers, meditation practitioners, diplomats, interfaith representatives, community leaders, and well-wishers to share a holistic understanding of yoga—embracing physical health, meditation, ethical living, spiritual growth, universalism, and service to humanity.

Among the highlights, Ácárya Shankaránanda Avadhúta was honored by the World Yoga Community for his contribution to yoga, meditation, and spiritual service. At the United Nations Headquarters, Ambassador Harish Parvathaneni, Permanent Representative of India to the United Nations, warmly acknowledged Ananda Marga and its participation.

These programs created valuable opportunities to connect with the wider community and present yoga not merely as physical exercise, but as an integrated path toward inner peace, healthy living, social harmony, and collective welfare.

We offer our heartfelt gratitude to the Consulate General of India in New York, the Permanent Mission of India to the United Nations, Queens College, participating organizations, Acaryas, organizers, volunteers, and everyone who made these inspiring celebrations possible.

Namaskar everyone!
Our dear brother Dada Pramoditananda urgently needs your support to ensure he gets the care he needs as he begins chemotherapy this week. Just a few weeks ago, he suddenly lost the ability to walk and ended up in the Emergency Room where he was shocked to discover that cancer had spread all over his body. Dada is only 47 years old and has been working with full dedication for Baba’s Mission since 2009. Now it is our turn to offer him the solidarity, love and support he needs to make it through the very difficult, ta***ic path ahead. Find out how you can get involved:
