A Sacred & Rare Opportunity
Guru Purnima is the holiest night of the year
for a student on the path.
Do not let it pass without marking it.
Ramakrishna was among only twelve people trained extensively and directly by Swami in the full depth of these practices — the abishek, the fire puja, the shakti processes — as they are meant to be performed. Very few teachers in the world carry this training at this level.
This retreat is the opportunity to experience Guru Purnima exactly as Swami taught it to be held — each day building energy, each process preparing the field, until our community arrives together at that sacred night, open and ready to receive.
What Awaits
Six Days of Living Practice
✦ Fire
Abishek & Fire Puja
Learn to generate and transmit energy through sacred ritual. Daily Baba Abishek builds toward the Maha Abishek and Fire Puja on Guru Purnima night.
✦ Water
Sacred Water Processes
Special water processes that purify, open the energetic channels, and prepare the vessel to receive and hold higher states.
✦ Healing
Sai Shakti Healing
Deep teachings in Sai Shakti Healing techniques with structured time to practice on one another — learning through direct experience.
✦ Transmission
Shaktipat & Initiations
Ramakrishna will offer shaktipat, special initiations, and one-on-one consultations. Direct transmission, person to person.
✦ Dawn
Sunrise Practices
Sunrise meditation, daily yoga with Bhramari, and morning abishek — anchoring each day in devotion before the mind gets busy.
✦ Sangha
Satsang & Community
Evening satsang, bhajans, and the deep bonds formed when sincere students step out of the world together. These relationships carry the journey forward.

SACRED RETREAT & IMMERSION
JULY 24 - 30, 2026
BLANCO, TX SIX DAYS OF SHAKTI
Guru Purnima Virtual Retreat &
Sacred Journey Transmissions
June 20th - July 11th, 2025
This year, something extraordinary unfolds. We journey to Mount Kailash -
"the top power spot on the planet" as Swami called it - then return to broadcast live
from the sacred heart of our lineage during Guru Purnima itself.
Your prayers will be carried to the crown chakra of Earth, then live transmissions
from Shirdi and Penukonda during the most auspicious moon of the year.
“Few times in the ashram were as alive and spiritually charged as Guru Purnima. Students would come months in advance to prepare for this one sacred night.
This year, our guru has arranged something unprecedented - a pilgrimage to Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar, followed immediately by live celebrations from the very heart of our lineage.
As a community, we are all connected. Some will be with us physically, others joining online - but together, when we walk to the Divine as a group, we can pull the guru's blessings most powerfully.”
- Ramakrishna

Meet your Guides
Ramakrishna and Bhramari are the co-founders of the Paramashiva Center for Advanced Yogic Sciences and will be your guides through this transformative Guru Purnima program.
Ramakrishna spent 15 years in Penukonda, studying under the great yogic saint, Sri Kaleshwar. As one of Sri Kaleshwar’s senior-most students, he was entrusted with sharing the ancient knowledge he learned and establishing a healing power spot in the West.
For the past 8 years, Bhramari has been practicing this ancient wisdom alongside Ramakrishna. Their mission is to share Sri Kaleshwar’s vision to disseminate this once-hidden knowledge to all of humanity, with the aim of creating spiritual masters who can heal the world.
