Raseshwari Devi has announced two major initiatives for World Meditation Day 2026, including the inauguration of a yoga-cum-meditation hall in Odisha and a six-day meditation camp in Haridwar. The plans tie a new regional centre in Tangi, Khurda district, to a larger gathering in Uttarakhand.

The Odisha centre is expected to accommodate more than 1,500 people, while the Haridwar camp is scheduled from June 11 to June 17, 2026, with about 2,500 participants expected from India and abroad. For Devi, the announcements mark a clear expansion of her public spiritual work ahead of the December 21 observance.

Devi founded the Braj Gopika Seva Mission in Odisha in 1998, and by 2026 the organisation had held spiritual programmes in more than 140 cities. That history gives the new projects a wider frame: they are not one-off events, but the latest steps in a mission that has steadily grown beyond its home base.

Born on January 12, 1968, Devi is 58 years old, unmarried and celibate since the age of 21. She is widely described as a spiritual leader and yoga teacher who blends Bhakti Yoga with modern spiritual needs, and as a strong proponent of Sanatani Vedic philosophy.

The scale of the two initiatives also sets up the practical question now facing her mission: whether it can turn a large spiritual audience into sustained activity at the new Odisha hub and the Haridwar camp. The answer will be measured first by attendance, and then by whether the new centre in Tangi becomes a lasting fixture rather than a ceremonial launch.
