Event Details

"Prana Prathistha" is the activation process where the full energy of a deity is installed in an idol. 

July 28, 2024, has been set to mark the Prana Prathistha, where a set of Vedic rituals will be performed to induce energy into the idols, bringing the Presence of the deities into full effect. After the Prana Prathistha, “when a person comes near that idol, there is a transmission, an energy exchange happening. It takes from 8 seconds to 40 seconds before the transfer is completed. So, it activates, it rejuvenates you.” - Mohanji

This is a rare event to attend, as the power of Baba, the deities, and the various Masters of Tradition can be experienced.

The event will start on 28th July will start around 7:00AM and conclude with lunch feast.
