In ancient cilivilizations, timings of sacred events were very important. Two kinds of calendars were used, solar and lunar. The same conjunction of stars, planets and constellations occurred at the same time and became our years and months. Various festivals, influenced by the ancient traditions, are held according to the solar and lunar calendars. That is when the energies flow.

So the dates of the Full Moon Meditations are announced after our Ashram Pandits have worked out the exact hours and minutes of the full moon each month. The hours of the full moon span two calendar days in western time. By Swami Veda's request, the date with the most full moon hours is chosen for the Full Moon Meditation.

Swami Veda and other teachers will sit with you according to these dates. Please join in the shared Full Moon mind-field.

People often ask, "How do we tune into the Indian time?" That is not how it goes. On which ever continent Swami Veda is at any given time, he sits at the times announced for your continent. Swamiji meditates four times during the Full Moon 24-hour period to accommodate people at the designated meditation timings. So he actually has a cycle of four sessions for different continents. Please meditate at the time for your continent -Swami Veda will be there.
