- Swami Anand Arun invited Swami Chidananda to visit Kathmandu
- Meditation, the art of living life with full awareness: Chidanand Saraswati
- Rishikesh is the land of nectar, restraint, meditation and confluence: Anand Arun
Rishikesh. Situated in the sacred foothills of the Himalayas, on the divine banks of Mother Ganga, Parmarth Niketan has always been the center of global consciousness of Yoga, Meditation, Spirituality, Vedas and Vedanta. The spiritual energy here, the tradition of penance of sages and the company of saints inspire the seekers from all over the world on the journey of self-realization and inner peace.
On this occasion, Swami Anand Arun cordially invited Parmarth Peethadhishwar, Swami Chidanand Saraswati to visit Osho Tapovan International Commune in Kathmandu, Nepal.
Taking forward this spiritual tradition, a four-day eighth Osho Mega Camp was organized at Parmarth Niketan from 30 October to 2 November 2026. In this camp organized under the guidance of Swami Anand Arun, Osho Tapovan International Commune, Kathmandu, Nepal, the seekers from India and abroad participated in the practice of meditation, silence, introspection and inner consciousness in the divine atmosphere of Parmarth Niketan.
On this occasion, the holy presence and blessings of Parmarth Peethadhishwar, Swami Chidanand Saraswati became a center of special inspiration for the seekers. Swami said that the real journey of man is from outer achievements to inner realization. In this world we are constantly in the race to achieve something, become something and accomplish something, but the real joy of life lies in knowing yourself and connecting with the peace that exists within you.
He said that meditation is the art of living life with full awareness. When we learn to become witness to our thoughts, feelings, and reactions, a new clarity and balance emerge within us. Meditation connects us with ourselves and when a person connects with himself, only then he is able to establish a more sensitive and harmonious relationship with family, society, nature and the entire creation.
Swami said that India’s sage tradition has always considered self-realization as the ultimate goal of life. The message of ‘Aatma Va Are Drashtavya’ of the Upanishads inspires us to go within ourselves, know ourselves and experience the deeper truth of life. Yoga, meditation and various methods of spiritual practice are ultimately paths leading to inner consciousness.
Swami Anand Arun introduced the seekers to Osho’s meditation tradition, active meditation, silence and various methods of witnessing. During the camp, through meditation sessions, discourses and introspection, the seekers got the opportunity to recognize their inner potential and develop awareness in daily life.
He said that the divine atmosphere of Parmarth Niketan makes this Sadhana Yatra more meaningful. On the one hand, the divinity of the Himalayas, on the other hand, the continuous flow of Mother Ganga and the spiritual consciousness of the ancient Indian sage tradition inspire the seekers to rise above the external noise and look within themselves. Here meditation becomes not just an individual practice, but a means of experiencing oneness with nature, consciousness and all existence.
The confluence of various traditions of yoga and meditation in Parmarth Niketan is a reflection of the generosity and inclusive vision of Indian spirituality. India’s spiritual heritage was not limited to any one method, belief or path. Here, many streams of knowledge, devotion, karma and yoga have been showing humanity the path to self-improvement. It is with this broad vision that Parmarth Niketan welcomes seekers, spiritual seekers, Yogacharyas and saints from all over the world.
At the conclusion of the camp, the seekers saw this experience as an important opportunity for introspection, inner peace and living life more consciously.
