New Delhi, July 30: Osho Dham celebrated Guru Purnima with an afternoon of meditation, music, satsang and spiritual reflection on Wednesday, July 29th, 2026, at its campus on Jhatikra Road, near Najafgarh, New Delhi. The celebration brought together seekers, meditation practitioners and art lovers to honour the timeless presence of the Guru through silence, awareness and creativity.
A special highlight of the celebration was the inauguration of Ma Anand Bhakti’s exhibition featuring 18 mandalas and abstract paintings. The exhibition was inaugurated by Ma Dharm Jyoti and Swami Chaitanya Keerti, both long-time disciples of Osho, in the presence of devotees and invited guests.
Guru Purnima, traditionally observed as a day of gratitude towards the Guru, was celebrated at Osho Dham in the true spirit of Osho‘s teachings. The programme featured meditation sessions, satsang, music and an Osho discourse, encouraging participants to experience inner stillness and awareness rather than ritualistic observance.
The newly inaugurated exhibition beautifully complemented the day’s celebrations. Created as meditative offerings, Ma Anand Bhakti’s paintings reflected stillness, surrender and devotion, extending the essence of meditation into the visual arts. Through intricate mandalas and intuitive abstract compositions, the exhibition invited visitors to pause, reflect and reconnect with themselves.
Speaking about her artistic journey, Ma Anand Bhakti said, “For me, art is not something to be created. It is something to be received. When the mind becomes quiet, there is nothing left to plan or control. I simply become available, and whatever wishes to emerge finds its own way onto the canvas.”
Her journey into mandala art began four years ago with a single dot on paper and gradually evolved into deeply meditative works shaped by patience, awareness and surrender. Inspired by Osho‘s teachings, her creative process has become an expression of meditation, where art emerges naturally from silence rather than conscious planning.
Addressing the gathering, Ma Dharm Jyoti said, “Guru Purnima is a day to remember the Master with gratitude and to reconnect with ourselves. Ma Anand Bhakti’s paintings have emerged from meditation and surrender, and beautifully reflect the silence and awareness that Osho encouraged us to discover within.”
Swami Chaitanya Keerti added, “Art has the power to become a meditation when it arises from silence rather than the mind. Ma Anand Bhakti’s paintings are a reflection of that journey. It is fitting that this exhibition opens on Guru Purnima, a day that celebrates the Master’s presence and the transformation that happens through awareness.”
Speaking on the occasion, Swami Atul Anand, Managing Trustee of Osho World Foundation and Caretaker of Osho Dham, said, “Guru Purnima is a beautiful opportunity to pause, remember the Master and turn inwards. It was heartening to witness seekers from different walks of life coming together to meditate, celebrate and experience the joy of being present. Ma Anand Bhakti’s meditative art exhibition added a unique dimension to this year’s celebration, reflecting Osho‘s vision where meditation finds expression not only in silence but also in creativity, awareness and everyday life.”
The celebration concluded with participants spending time at the exhibition, engaging in meditation and reflecting on Osho‘s teachings, making Guru Purnima 2026 a memorable occasion of gratitude, creativity and inner transformation.
Ma Anand Bhakti’s meditative art exhibition will remain open to visitors at Osho Dham until August 30, 2026, offering an opportunity to experience the collection of 18 mandalas and abstract paintings inspired by meditation, silence and awareness.
