Our Activities
Spiritual Talks
Every year, spiritual talks of duration ranging from 7 to 30 days (2 to 4 hours per day) are held in various places in India and abroad giving concise knowledge of the Vedas in a nutshell. During these discourses, the unique Roopdhyan Meditation Technique is taught to the devotees. The most beneficial among these talks is the 21 or 30 day serial lectures in which a seeker finds all the answers to his questions. Srimad Bhagwat Kathas are also held, in addition to these discourses.’
Roopdhyan Meditation Camps
For a person who has attended Devi Ji's Spiritual Talk, regular Roopdhyan Meditation Retreats are held to strengthen his knowledge and devotional practice. Every year, Annual Sadhana Shivir, Jagadguru Sadhana Shivir, Regional Sadhana Shivirs, Moun (Silent) Sadhana Shivir etc. are held for this purpose
Children and Youth Camps
In today’s world, youth and spirituality seem to be at two different poles altogether. In order to inculcate spiritual values and give spiritual education, every year, Children and Youth camps are conducted in the ashrams of BGSM. They learn to imbibe spirituality in their daily lives. By succeeding spiritually, they automatically succeed in their material life. In short, by coming to the Camps, they are set for life. The best feature of the Camps is the opportunity to interact and associate with genuine saints.
Social Activities
Braj Gopika Seva Mission has always taken care of the villages and schools in the ashram vicinity. It runs regular health camps, dental camps, yoga camps, blood donation camps and also completely free charitable clinics for the nearby villages. On different occasions, distribution of necessities is organised for the villagers and students. It also runs a Gaushala in Braj Gopika Dham and also contributes during natural disasters. BGSM devotees support its parent body, Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat in all its initiatives in Health, Education, Distribution of necessities and other such activities.
Our Ashrams
Braj Gopika Dham
Tangi, Odisha
The Divine Grace, Jagadguruttam Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj, visited Braj Gopika Dham for the first time in the year 2002. He went into a divine trance the moment he set His foot on the holy ground. Throwing light on the significance of the name of this holy adobe, His Holiness himself stated that this divine land is the most befitting place for spiritual sadhana. Even the locals, recalling the legends, say that this place has been a witness to the devotional practices of many a number of saints throughout its existence. It is the great fortune of this holy land that Shri Maharaj Ji graced it with His presence every year on the grand occasion of 'Jagadguru Sadhana Shivir' right from the year 2002 till 2011.
Jagadguru Dham
Puri, Odisha
Jagadguru Dham in Puri is an exemplar symbol of all reconciliatory philosophies. Jagadguru Dham will be the very manifestation of this harmonious union. In the near future, this will become a site of awe which will radiate the divinity and uniqueness of Shri Maharaj Ji and will attract many towards it.
Bhakti Dham
Navadweep, West Bengal
Bhakti Dham is situated on the banks of the holy river Ganga in West Bengal. Shri Maharaj Ji has graced Navadweep with the same divine bliss and appearance that it had witnessed before in the form of Shri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. This site is also called the 'Radhe Radhe Mandir' because of the mellifluous Kirtans and active participation of the ashram residents in various activities.
Kripalu Kunj
Darjeeling, West Bengal
Kripalu Kunj is situated in Darjeeling amidst the serenity of nature below and the unending blue sky above. 8000 ft above sea level, in the vicinity of Kanchenjunga, it has become a cynosure among people because of the beauty and peace it harbours within it.
