Puri(Vov): Under the divine guidance of Himalayan Siddhaa Akshar, Akshar Yoga Kendraa undertook one of the largest spiritual service initiatives during Shri Jagannath Ratha Yatra 2026 in Puri, serving Mahaprabhu Prasad to over 2,00,000 devotees. Rooted in the timeless Indian tradition of Seva, the initiative was an offering of devotion, compassion, and gratitude at the lotus feet of Mahaprabhu Shri Jagannath.
More than 100 volunteers from India joined hands with practitioners from over 15 countries, including Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, Canada, and several other nations, making this a truly global expression of faith. For many international participants, this was their first opportunity to witness and experience the sacred grandeur of Shri Jagannath Ratha Yatra and participate in selfless service.
The volunteers served freshly prepared Mahaprabhu Prasad with humility and devotion, welcoming every devotee with respect and warmth. Every meal distributed reflected the spirit of “Nar Seva is Narayan Seva”—serving humanity as an offering to the Divine.
Beyond the Prasad Seva, the international practitioners immersed themselves in India’s profound spiritual heritage through a specially curated Himalayan yogic training programme. Conducted under the guidance of Himalayan Siddhaa Akshar at Niladri Beach, the sessions included yogic practices, meditation, breathwork, Surya Sadhana, spiritual discipline, and teachings on the ancient wisdom of Sanatana Dharma. The serene coastal atmosphere became a sacred space where practitioners deepened their inner journey while experiencing the spiritual vibrations of Jagannath Puri.
The programme beautifully united people from different cultures, languages, and backgrounds through the universal values of yoga, service, and devotion. It demonstrated how India’s ancient spiritual traditions continue to inspire and transform lives across the world.
Through this historic initiative, Akshar Yoga Kendraa reaffirmed its commitment to spreading the message of peace, harmony, selfless service, and holistic well-being. The Mahaprabhu Prasad Seva and the international spiritual training at Niladri Beach became not only a celebration of Shri Jagannath’s boundless grace but also a living example of how yoga and seva transcend all boundaries, bringing humanity together as one global family.
