Every celebration in the Ashram is part of our spiritual practice, through which we strive to reawaken our awareness of the True Self—the Divine Nature residing in all beings.
Some people experience access to this higher being very directly in Ma’s presence, and so we look forward to celebrating New Year’s Eve with Ma.
We will celebrate the transition into the year 2026 at Sri Neem Karoli Baba Mandir with an Aarti to Maharajji and sing the Hanuman Chalisa, the sacred mantra in honour of Lord Hanuman, 54 times in Ma’s presence. At midnight, Ma will enter the new year with us in silence.
The Aarti and the singing will be livestreamed.
Schedule:
17:30: Ashram opens. Chai served on arrival
18:30: We begin with Hanuman Chalisa #1
During the singing, a festive buffet will be available
throughout the evening in the Bhandara room
~23:15: Final Chalisa, short break
23:45: Ma enters the new year in silence with us
