Osho Dham will celebrate Guru Purnima on July 29 with a programme of meditation, satsang, music and an Osho discourse at its campus on Jhatikra Road near Najafgarh. The event will also feature the inauguration of a meditative art exhibition by Ma Anand Bhakti.
The exhibition, comprising 18 mandalas and abstract paintings, will be inaugurated by Ma Dharm Jyoti and Swami Chaitanya Keerti, both long-time disciples of Osho.
According to the organisers, the annual Guru Purnima celebration is intended to bring together spiritual practice and creative expression. The paintings on display have been created as meditative works inspired by themes of stillness, awareness and surrender.
Ma Anand Bhakti said her artistic process evolved through meditation and was guided by the idea of allowing creativity to emerge naturally rather than through conscious planning. She said she discovered mandala art four years ago, beginning with simple dot patterns that gradually developed into intricate designs through mindful practice.
The exhibition also includes abstract paintings that, she said, reflect intuition and freedom alongside the meditative qualities of the mandalas. She expressed hope that visitors would experience a sense of calm and self-reflection while viewing the works.
Speaking ahead of the event, Ma Dharm Jyoti said Guru Purnima was an occasion to remember the Master with gratitude and reconnect with oneself, adding that the paintings reflected the silence and awareness encouraged in Osho’s teachings.
Swami Chaitanya Keerti said art could become a form of meditation when it arose from silence rather than thought, describing the exhibition as an expression of that journey.
