Full moon blessings from a highly realized spiritual master on the day of Guru Purnima are hailed to be of immense spiritual significance. Over the years, many of you have experienced the profound blessings during our blessing line by His Holiness Swami Vidyadhishananda. This year holds exceptional spiritual significance. Jupiter, the celestial Guru, is exalted in Cancer—an occurrence that arises only once in approximately 12 years—magnifying the potency of this auspicious time and deepening the shared blessings of Guru Pūrṇimā.

Online Retreat registrants can participate in this time-honoured tradition remotely. As is the tradition on Guru Purnima, most devotees and participants make voluntary love donations in honour of this auspicious occasion. The donations generously given by many of you will be offered to the Lineage of God and Guru at the Hansavedas Meditation Altar. Here are a few ways you can participate:

• Include your Guru Daxina or donation at the time of registration.
• Send cards, notes and donations by check to: Self Enquiry Life Fellowship, PO Box 1210, Penn Valley, CA 95946. 
• Donate on the day of Guru Purnima via the donation link on the livestream page. 
• Send a Guru Purnima message to His Holiness online. A link to the Guru Purnima Online Retreat webpage will be provided upon completion of registration. You are welcome to submit a letter of spiritual inquiry, request initiation or express gratitude in your own words.

We would like new devotees to be aware of this time-honoured tradition so that you feel informed ahead of time. Blessings will be conferred unconditionally to all online participants (Online Retreat registrant list will be shared with His Holiness for prayers and blessings).

Registrants will gain access to the live broadcast sessions via the Guru Purnima webpage. The login details will be shared with you in your registration confirmation email. Access to this page and the recordings will remain active for one month.
