Patanjali Yogpeeth celebrates Guru Purnima with devotion; Swami Ramdev serves devotees during Kanwar Mela
The sacred occasion of Guru Purnima— a day that celebrates the timeless Guru-Shishya (teacher-disciple) tradition in Hinduism— was observed with deep devotion at Patanjali Yogpeeth in Haridwar today (July 10, 2025). The celebrations took place at the Yoga Bhavan Auditorium of Patanjali Wellness (Yogpeeth-2), under the spiritual guidance of Swami Ramdev Maharaj, founder-president of Patanjali Yogpeeth, and Acharya Balkrishna Maharaj, its general secretary. Guru Purnima holds immense significance in Indian culture. It is the day when devotees honour their spiritual teachers (gurus), who guide them on the path of truth, self-realisation, and liberation. Celebrated on the full moon day (Purnima) of the Hindu month of Ashadha, this festival also commemorates the birth anniversary of the sage Vyasa, the author of the 'Mahabharata' and compiler of the Vedas. During the event, Swami Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna exchanged garlands as a mark of mutual respect and extended Guru Purnima wishes to all attendees. The atmosphere was filled with reverence, spiritual energy, and heartfelt gratitude toward the Guru principle that uplifts and enlightens. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Descoperă BMW X5 Legacy Limited Edition.

Vezi oferta Undo In his address, Swami Ramdev emphasised that Guru Purnima is not merely a religious observance, but a movement to revive and re-establish Sanatan Dharma as the guiding force of the era. He reminded the audience of India's rich legacy— the Guru-Shishya parampara, the ancient Rishi traditions, and the spiritual wisdom of the Vedas. Within these traditions, he said, lies not only spiritual depth but also a profound sense of national identity and unity. Speaking to students of Patanjali University, Swami Ramdev urged them to live with Rishitva (sagehood) and Devatva (divinity). 'Only when we embody these qualities can we bring about a true revolution in the world—one rooted in truth, yoga, spirituality, and justice, rather than power or material dominance,' he said. Swami Ramdev also voiced concern over the modern world being plagued by ideological extremism, materialism, and intellectual and socio-political exploitation. He expressed hope that India, with its spiritual and cultural strength, would lead the world in various domains and emerge as Vishwaguru—the spiritual guide of the world. Acharya Balkrishna Maharaj echoed similar sentiments. He stated that Guru Purnima has meaning only when disciples follow their Guru's path with complete faith and discipline. He urged people to adopt the teachings of their Guru in everyday life and walk the path of righteousness (Dharma). According to him, it is through India's age-old traditions—like Yoga, Ayurveda , Sanatan Dharma, and Vedic knowledge—that the nation will rise as a global beacon. He also encouraged everyone to seek guidance from a noble Guru or saint whose wisdom can lead to spiritual and personal growth. N.P. Singh, Executive Chairman of the Bharatiya Shiksha Board, praised the divine energy of the event. Offering his salutations to Sanatan Dharma, he highlighted how the Patanjali movement is igniting a holistic transformation in the field of education, under the blessings of Swami Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna. As part of the ongoing Kanwar Mela— another significant Hindu pilgrimage in the month of Shravan— Patanjali Yogpeeth also organised an Akhand Bhandara (continuous community kitchen) for Shiva devotees (Kanwariyas). Thousands of pilgrims walking with Ganga water were served food with love and humility. Swami Ramdev personally took part in the food distribution, exemplifying the spirit of seva (selfless service). The event saw active participation from spiritual leaders, department heads, volunteers, students, and officials associated with Patanjali Yogpeeth. Hundreds followed as Baba Ramdev performed yoga asanas

How Patanjali Wellness centres are revolutionising healthcare with ancient techniques
Natural wellness (Images from: Patanjali Wellness/Website; Canva) Very few traditions have known the importance of holistic wellness as well as Ayurveda and certain ancient Indian techniques have. And Patanjali Wellness, a healthcare initiative developed under Patanjali Ayurveda, aims to integrate traditional Indian practices like yoga and Ayurveda with naturopathy to support health and wellness. And to promote holistic wellness and health, Patanjali has a network of centres across India offering therapies and lifestyle-based treatments. The conditions addressed Patanjali Wellness offers therapies for a range of health conditions. Be it dry cough, Pulmonary tuberculosis, certain cardiac conditions, high cholesterol, chronic diarrhoea and dysentery, flatulence and digestive discomfort, acidity, Stomatitis, and more. The wellness program operates under the Patanjali Yogpeeth trust, established in 1995 with a focus on promoting yoga and Ayurveda, and overtime, it expanded to include a wellness vertical, especially from the 2010s onwards. The core idea for the vision was that many health issues arise from lifestyle imbalances, and that these can be addressed through natural living, yoga, and dietary changes, instead of relying on over the counter medications and steroids. And the treatments they kept were rooted in traditional systems. The Wellness programs emphasise 'Swasthya' (health) and 'Arogya' (freedom from illness), and combining these principles with non-invasive naturopathic methods such as detox, diet regulation, and therapy help people who see no relief with medicines or wish to avoid them and heal holistically. Facilities and services Patanjali Wellness operates 34 centres across India, including major locations in Haridwar (Patanjali Yogpeeth), Noida, and cities across states like Uttarakhand, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, and Assam. These centres offer both day services and residential retreats, and the therapy plans vary from short stays to extended programs. Some therapies are - Yoga therapy: Yoga is undoubtedly the cure for many problems that arise in the body, and when the movements, asanas, and more is personalised to a person and his or her condition, it benefits even more. Ayurvedic treatments: The wellness centres also engage in Ayurvedic treatments by using herbal medicines, oil applications, and dosha-balancing routines. Panchakarma: Panchkarma is a traditional detox therapy that includes, but is not limited to, methods like purgation, nasal cleansing, and enema. These purify the body from the inside out, and helps flush out toxins. Naturopathy: Treatments such as mud packs, hydrotherapy, massage, and fasting are a part of Naturopathy. They aim to blend the human body with the elements of Earth, and balances the system within. Apart from these, the Patanjali Wellness centre has many more Kriyas and methods to help people reconnect with their body, mind, and soul, and live a healthier life on holistic and natural terms. What people think about Patanjali Wellness Patanjali's Wellness centres have become popular among people who are looking for alternatives to mainstream healthcare. Its appeal lies partly in affordability and cultural familiarity, and the belief that natural therapies can benefit much more than synthetic medicines could. The centres cater to a range of people, be it from rural communities or urban households, and offer services at different price levels. In fact, not just in India, Patanjali Wellness has extended its reach outside India through wellness events, workshops, and retreats. Notably, it has hosted programs in the U.S., U.K., Canada, and the UAE in an attempt to introduce Indian wellness practices to a wider audience and engage with the growing interest in natural therapies. Challenges along the way With great power, comes great responsiblity, and Patanjali has always showed amazing results. But over the years, some of Patanjali's health claims have faced legal and regulatory review, and have been under judicial scrutiny where authorities have asked for more scientific validation. But through the test of time, Patanjali Ayurved has maintained its methods and holistic ways, and have stayed grounded in traditional Indian knowledge.
