Experience the Power of Jagadguru Sai Maa

The term Jagadguru is one of the highest designations in the Hindu tradition. From Sanskrit, jagat means “universe” and guru means “teacher” or “master.” Jagadgurus are recognized as embodying the power and influence to transform the entire planet.

In 2007, the Vaishnav Sadhu Society honored Her Holiness Sai Maa with the title of Jagadguru Bhaktimayi Meera Bai at the Ardh Kumbh Mela in Allahabad, India. Endorsed by the highly revered Sri Satuwa Baba Maharaj, Sai Maa is the first female to be awarded this prestigious title in India’s 2,700 years of the Vishnuswami lineage and the known history of the Kumbh Mela.

Experience the power of Sai Maa and Maa’s spiritual lineage by visiting her ashram in Varanasi India, staying at Maa’s camp at the Kumbh Mela, meeting the monastic order and/or participating in the sacred fire ceremonies.

Sai Maa often spent time in Puttaparthi, India in and near the Ashram of Maa’s beloved guru Sri Sathya Sai Baba. If interested in visiting Puttaparthi, please contact Sree Parthi Hotels at info@sreeparthihotels.com

Every breath of the Brahmachari, every cell that breathes in a Brahmachari is for God, Supreme, the Self, the Great Self. The purpose, the joy, the beauty of the devotion of Brahmacharya is the seva of enlightenment. – Sai Maa

THE KUMBH MELA

As a Jagadguru, Sai Maa has the honor of hosting a camp at each Kumbh Mela where Sai Maa hosts students from around the world who come for spiritual practice, and to offer selfless service. The next Kumbh Mela where Sai Maa will have a camp with the Mahamandaleshwar is Allahabad in 2025.

Sai Maa and volunteers will serve 60,000 meals to pilgrims, and Sai Maa will offer Darshan and specialized yagyas throughout the festival.

What is the Kumbh Mela?

Rotating among four locations in India—Haridwar, Allahabad, Trimbak-Nashik, and Ujjain—every 12 years, the Kumbh Mela is the largest spiritual gathering in the world. More than 80 million pilgrims participate in this event lasting several weeks.

The age of the Kumbh is unknown, yet it is thought to span several millennia. Pilgrims travel to bathe in each location’s sacred river at specific times of astrological alignment said to bestow the nectar of spiritual enlightenment and immortality.

The Light of Love can never be extinguished.
