It is with great respect and heartfelt joy that I extend to you a special invitation to grace our Festival of Bliss 2026.
Date: Saturday, September 12, 2026
Venue: James J. Ambrose School Auditorim, Floral Park, New York
The Festival of Bliss is a celebration of universal love, spirituality, and human unity. The program will feature devotional music, cultural dances, meditation, yoga, inspiring messages, and performances that promote peace, harmony, and holistic wellbeing. We warmly invite you to attend with your family and friends and share in this joyful celebration.
Ananda Marga is a global humanitarian, educational, and spiritual organization serving humanity in more than 150 countries through selfless service, character building, education, health, and spiritual development.
We are also delighted to share two important milestones:
- By the grace of the Supreme, we have recently acquired 101 acres of beautiful land in Connecticut, where we are developing the Ananda Kalpataru Health & Wellness Center—a center dedicated to yoga, meditation, natural healing, wellness education, and humanitarian service.
- During the Festival of Bliss, we will officially launch an awareness and fundraising campaign to support this visionary project and expand our service activities for the benefit of society.
Your gracious presence and encouraging words would greatly inspire our guests, supporters, and volunteers, and would add immense dignity and significance to this memorable occasion.
We sincerely hope you will honor us by accepting this invitation. We look forward to welcoming you and receiving your blessings on this joyful day.
