In the Dhyanapeetam Ashram in Bidadi, India, we are doing a number of services to the local and global community towards living a blissful life. Our meditation programs based on the traditional technology of Vedic inner science have been well received and been of  tremendous benefit to thousands around the world. Our regular meditation workshops such as Ananda Spurna Program, Nithyananda Spurana Program, Bhakti Spurana Program etc have been happening in parallel in our Ashram and in various cities across India. Every month more than 500 people attend these meditation camps in Bidadi and more than 1000 attend all over India. It is heartening to see the transformation and healing that the programs and services bring to so many people of all backgrounds.

Our special events are always a unique opportunity for both regular and new participants to partake in the blissful celebrations. Major festivals like Guru Poornima are usually attended by more than 20,000 people. In Gurupurnima 2008 We served 75,000 free meals to people. More than 500 people attended our Navarathri celebrations every day for ten days. We also offered spiritual counseling and healing services free of cost to everyone. The Kalpataru Darshans and Healing Services drew more than 1500 people every week. We continue to offer free medical camps services for those who cannot economically afford medical checkup, treatment or diagnosis. In the last 5 months, we have conducted more than 25 camps across Bidadi and about 50 camps all over India. Each camp helps medical services reach out to about 250 people who wouldn't have been able to afford it otherwise. These camps also offer various specialist consultations, diagnosis and treatment options that are not economically viable to many. For the past 2 months our mobile dispensary has been making the rounds across 50 villages in and around Bidadi reaching out to people who are not able to come to the medical camps.

We offer a free 2 year residential program called Life Bliss Technology for youth aged between 18 and 30. The thrust of the program is to help youth from all types of socio-economic backgrounds to become self-supporting and confident in facing life and excelling in whatever field they may choose. It provides an intense atmosphere for the youth to grow in both inner and outer worlds with focus on Yoga, Meditation and Self Improvement (Vocational skills). The training is customized to each individual participant's aptitude and ability, and includes staying in different branches of our organization completely free of cost. We have seen measurable success with our program. So far, we have had more than 300 students undergo this program free of cost. There are currently 150 students enrolled in the program and the demand for this program is increasing. To provide for the needs of this program, we need various facilities such as more accommodation, office space, classroom, a better library, meditation halls, yoga studios and computer facility developed and improved in our ashram.

The ashram also houses a Gurukul - A School following a Vedic system of Education, where children from different ethnic background get a chance to explore every dimension of their inherent inner potential by providing the ambience to blossom and flower into adulthood fully equipped not only with modern education but also the wisdom to realize and choose what they want to do in life.

We are glad to let you know that we are making progress in improving our infrastructure facilities although there is still a long way to go in terms of meeting our growing needs. We have already successfully completed a 100 bed dormitory with toilet facilities. During season, we have on average of more than 200 visitors per day on regular days and we serve more than 1500 meals per day. With our current facilities we are able to accommodate only 150 people to stay comfortably in the Ashram. However, the demand is far greater and is ever increasing. In order to continue to provide our services at the same quality towards the benefit of tens of thousands of people, we need better infrastructure facilities. We are in the process of building a 1000 bed dormitory with Toilet facilities.

In order to continue to provide our blissful service to the society through the grand principles and teachings of the Vedic Tradition, we would like to request more support towards our infrastructure development and other projects of our organization.
