New Delhi, July 30, 2026: Osho Dham commemorated Guru Purnima with a day-long celebration of meditation, music, silence and artistic expression, bringing together seekers, meditators and disciples to honour the timeless legacy of the awakened masters. Rooted in Osho’s vision of Guru Purnima as a moment of inner transformation rather than ritual, the event unfolded as a collective experience of remembrance, awareness and celebration.
The celebration commenced with a soulful live keertan that set a meditative atmosphere, followed by a community lunch where participants came together in a spirit of fellowship. The highlight of the event was the inauguration of an art exhibition by Ma Anand Bhakti, unveiled by Ma Dharm Jyoti and Swami Chaitanya Keerti, both long-time disciples of Osho. The exhibition showcases a collection of 18 original artworks comprising intricate mandalas and abstract paintings, each emerging from meditation and surrender rather than conscious planning. The programme concluded with an Osho discourse and a collective Kundalini Meditation, allowing participants to immerse themselves in silence and self-awareness.
Speaking on the significance of Guru Purnima, Swami Chaitanya Keerti said that, “The occasion represents far more than a ceremonial observance; it is a celebration of the transformative relationship between the Master and the disciple. Osho described Guru Purnima as an opportunity for seekers to let go of accumulated conditioning and rediscover their essential nature. According to Osho, the disciple’s journey unfolds through three simple movements: listening with a quiet and unarguing mind, allowing that listening to settle deeply in the heart, and finally letting it become a lived experience. The celebration reflected these teachings through meditation, music, discourse and collective silence”.
The inauguration of Ma Anand Bhakti’s exhibition added a distinctive artistic dimension to the celebration. A creative spirit since childhood, Ma Anand Bhakti discovered mandala art four years ago, beginning with a single dot on a blank sheet of paper. Over time, this evolved into a deeply meditative practice where creativity became an expression of awareness rather than intention. Inspired by Osho’s teachings, she approaches every canvas with openness, allowing each artwork to emerge naturally from a state of surrender instead of deliberate planning.
One of the defining moments in her artistic journey came while she sat before a blank canvas, uncertain of what to paint. As she listened to the song May I Take Peaceful Steps on This Earth, the urge to decide gradually dissolved. By the time the music ended, the painting flowed effortlessly onto the canvas. That experience has since become the foundation of her creative process, where art is received through meditation rather than created through effort.
Her latest collection reflects this philosophy through intricate mandalas that embody stillness, patience and balance, alongside abstract compositions that express spontaneity, freedom and intuitive awareness. Visitors attending the exhibition spent time contemplating the artworks, with many describing them as a natural extension of the meditative atmosphere created throughout the Guru Purnima celebration.
The event reaffirmed Osho Dham’s commitment to creating spaces where meditation, creativity and celebration converge. By bringing together music, discourse, silence and art in a single experience, the Guru Purnima celebration offered participants an opportunity to honour the Master while deepening their own journey of awareness and inner transformation.
