Annadaan
Everyday, food is served freely to whomsoever visits the camp. Everday, people visit the camp seeking blessings from HDH. HDH gives robes to the wandering mendicants and the public who visit the camp.
Meeting with Sharanagatha Swamy
On the way back to the camp, HDH met Sharanagatha Swamy who has a large ashram in Gokul near Mathura. He greatly appreciated Dhyanapeetam's efforts in fostering Vedic culture and educating youth with the same. He was impressed by the sincerity of the young brahmacharis of the ashram.
Innerhealing
Inner healing program in progress. Inner healing is a program where questions are thrown at a forum of persons chosen by Swamiji. Each member of the forum answers the questions from a unique dimension and at the end of it, Swamiji gives his answer too. One acquires great intellectual clarity from this program that happens from time to time at the ashram and elsewhere.
