Guru Purnima, International Celebration

Guru Purnima is celebrated on the day of the full moon in July. The celebration is dedicated to the Guru, the external and internal Guru who leads our lives from darkness to light. At Sadashiva Dham, this day is specially dedicated to Mahavatar Babaji and Muniraji, who are the inspiration and guiding force for our ashram.

In 2026, the international Guru Purnima celebration at Sadashiva Dham will take place from July 25 to 29. The full moon is on July 29.

For overnight stays, the ashram offers dormitories and a sleeping tent. You can also stay on the grounds with your own tent or camper. Rooms at the ashram are limited and are reserved for people with a special task or due to health or age.

You can also choose accommodation at the nearby Zonnehuis: there are 2- and 3-person rooms and a single 1-person room. Each room has its own bathroom.

Another option is to book a room at a nearby hotel or holiday park on your own. In this case, you pay only a day pass per day for participation in the Guru Purnima celebrations plus meals.
