Spiritual leader Raseshwari Devi Ji has announced a 1,500-seat Yoga and meditation hall in Odisha’s Khurda district, alongside a mega meditation camp in Haridwar, as part of World Meditation Day 2026 initiatives. The projects aim to create a large-scale hub for meditation, yogic education and community wellness.

The upcoming Yoga and Meditation Hall, near Tangi close to Bhubaneswar, is being developed under Braj Gopika Seva Mission (BGSM), the spiritual and charitable organisation she founded in 1998. Designed for over 1,500 participants, the centre will host retreats, sadhana camps and value-based programmes, positioning Odisha as a key node on India’s spiritual and wellness map.

Raseshwari Devi Ji is an Indian spiritual leader and preacher of Sanatan Vedic philosophy, known for her teachings on Shri Krishna Bhakti, Upanishadic wisdom and meditation. Born in Bhilai, she studied Mathematics and English Literature before taking sannyas in 1988 under Jagadguru Swami Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj, dedicating her life to devotional and contemplative practice.
