Who is Raseshwari Devi, spiritual leader behind upcoming 1,500-seat meditation and wellness centre on World Meditation Day 2026?

Spiritual leader Raseshwari Devi announced two major initiatives- construction of a large Yoga and meditation hall in Odisha and a week-long meditation camp in Haridwar- on the occasion of World Meditation Day 2026. The initiatives have been launched under the guidance of Braj Gopika Seva Mission, a spiritual and charitable organization founded by Raseshwari Devi Ji in 1998. The organisation said a dedicated Yoga and Meditation Hall with a capacity of more than 1,500 people is being built near Tangi in Odisha’s Khurda district, close to Bhubaneswar. The upcoming centre is expected to become a major hub for meditation, yogic education, spiritual retreats, and wellness-focused community activities.

The mega meditation camp is scheduled to be held in Haridwar from June 11 to June 17, 2026, and nearly 2,500 participants, along with several international attendees, are expected to take part in the event. The week-long camp is set to feature guided meditation sessions, talks on yogic philosophy, practical wellness workshops, and interactive discussions focused on integrating meditation into daily life.
