SUMMARY:43rd Annual 40-Day Spiritual Festival 2026 from June 19-July 29 (Guru Purnima)\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:43rd Annual 40-Day Spiritual Festival 2026\nJune 19- July 29 (Guru Purnima)\, 2026\n  \nAnnual Festival of Spiritual Peace\n~ Swami Ritavan Bharati~\nThrough the living presence of Swami Veda here in Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama\, we are inspired to return “home” to the theme of “Vasudeva”. This theme holds many gems of sadhana practiced as the Annual 40-Day Festival of Spiritual Peace. \nDuring this forty day period we all have an opportunity for celebrating the prosperity that sadhana brings. The prospering of sadhana means that there is greater peace in everyone’s mind. Only peace in individual minds can bring peace in the world. Therefore\, let our striving and endeavor for internal peace be an unceasing one; spread it wide; enlarge the circle of those who feel and contemplate such peaceful ways of living. That is the only way for world peace. \nEnjoy this immersion in sadhana during the festival celebration of Spiritual Peace.  \n(Courtesy of AHYMSIN\,org \n\n	\n\n\nRead here “43rd Annual 40-Days Spiritual Festival\, June 19-July 29\, 2026″ courtesy of AHYMSIN.org. \nThe festival is 40-days of purification of all aspects of our being through chosen practices. \nSome options for practices are : \nBegin or increase the Sangha “Vasudevaya’  mantra japa…Decrease screen time\, especially in the evening; put down the phone\, turn off the computer. \nFind ways to honor Earth Mother: walk in silence in the woods\, feed the wild animals\, nourish the ants\, pick up trash in nature\, contemplate one of the five elements in nature. \nFast one day a week\, could be partial fasting or simply eliminating one preferred food item. \nContemplate that which helps you be still. \nDo self-study and journal your experiences. \nStudy “Sutra 1.33\,” the Brahma Viharas\, especially Upeksha (equanimity in the face of evil.
