Baul Madhukori Yatra
USA 2025
Joy Guru to everyone
On May 14th Parvathy Maa and her associate Sri Ramachandra, sevak at Sanatan Siddhashram were denied admission into USA at San Francisco. She had to undergo long ordeal of fourteen hours before immigration official decided to reject admission. They were denied opportunity to even connect with their friends who were waiting to receive at the airport. This meant yet another twenty hour travel back home. Both of them were scheduled to be in Canada after visiting USA, they had the option to fly to Canada , but this process meant having to travel back to India all the way. This morning both of them reached back to Kolkata safely. Our Canada visit will resume according to our original plan.
This process seemed unfair and our team is doing needful to contest this decision made by immigration officer.
Meanwhile, we have received enormous amount of love and messages of concern and prayers for well being from Baul anuragees , artists and Spiritual Practitioners across the globe. Parvathy Maa received this love with much gratitude.
Many Sevaks, devotees, friends in USA put lot of hardwork to receive Parvathy Maa this year. To all of them we express our love and gratitude and remind them that we remain always connected like how the string of Ektara is tied at both ends. It's important that both of us hold this sacred string at both ends and be willing to be tuned by the Divine, only then beautiful sound that can transform shall emerge from the mystical skies.
At the end of this ordeal Parvathy Maa said that faith in Guru kripa and devata anugraha was the only way out of this ordeal , as this undoubtedly remains stronger, wiser and kinder force beyond all dark forces of conflict and authority consumed by power.
Our seva to spread the message of this beautiful Baul tradition continues with same enthusiasm and love. We will keep you posted about our future events.

Retreat at Sanatan Siddhashram
About
We always receive this question from seekers:
"How do we, in the modern day world, conceptualise and implement spiritual practise on a day-to-day basis, so that it can become an anchor in our daily life?"
In Sānnidhyam retreat, you will spend 5 days exclusively with Parvathy Maa, who will guide us into daily spiritual practise. She will also give insights into Baul philosophy and practise.
In Parvathy Maa's 3 previous Sannidhyam retreats, we meditated, we sang, we started freeing our bodies by practising movements. We chanted Harinaam throughout the villages for an experience of sacred Madhukori, practised hatha yoga and pranayama, learned to offer bhog (blessed food) to Gopal, the Gurus and the Divine in us.
We sat together in satsang, asked our many questions, received guidance for our daily spiritual practise, and most of all, we got touched by the depth and beauty of the daily life of a Baul, living it for some days in the close proximity of Parvathy Maa.
This is the only retreat exclusively guided and taught by Parvathy Maa. It is an intensive retreat that requires sincere spiritual work.
