Ashram Events

The Festival Calendar is the living wheel. These rooms gather the same year by the questions guests bring.

The Ashram’s year is a living panjika. Open the Festival Calendar for the circular month wheel, Bisuddha Siddhanta tithi, and named pujas. The rooms below gather the same dates by the questions guests actually ask.

Upcoming Events

Named days still ahead on the Ashram overlay and the 2026 diary. Please call before travelling so the Ashram can welcome you and confirm the day’s programme.

Ashram Celebrations

Festival days the house has already named — Kali Puja, Mahalaya, and the year’s other public observances. The wheel on the Festival Calendar remains the living map.

Purnima & Amavasya

Purnima and Amavasya are qualities of the lunar month. The Bisuddha Siddhanta panjika names them on every civil day of 2026. Touch a date on the Festival Calendar to read tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana.

Special Pujas

When a family asks for a puja or yajna, the house hears the need first — Kali, household peace, education, livelihood, ancestral remembrance. The Festival Calendar shows the year’s named public days; a personal observance begins with a letter or a telephone call.

Kirtan Programs

Evening kirtan is part of the day’s rhythm. Guest kirtan in the house’s memory includes Padma Shri Purna Das Baul and Kirtan Samrat Suman Bhattacharya. Confirm the sitting by telephone.

Retreats & Workshops

Longer sittings are kept when the household names them. Write or telephone if you wish to stay for seva, study, or a quiet stretch of days. The Festival Calendar and the Visit page are the honest doors.
