Bhava Spandana Program Volunteering
This post is about the Bhava Spandana program volunteering experiences. I participated in the Isha Bhava Spadana program in July 2023. I did the Isha Bhava Spandana program volunteering for the first time from 8th August to 11th August 2023. Here, I have shared the best and most wonderful experiences which I had as a program volunteer.

Isha Bhava Spandana Program Volunteering Experiences
This Isha Bhava Spandana Program from 8th to 11th August 2023 happened in the beautiful Spanda Hall at the Isha Yoga Center Coimbatore. This was my first Bhava Spandana program volunteering. I had heard that the Bhava Spandana volunteering is the most intense experience. I want to share my wonderful experiences as follows –
The first thing which excited me was that the Ishanga Teachers for this Bhava Spandana program were Radhe Jaggi Akka and Honey Akka. I was so overwhelmed to know this. In this program, I was assigned to do the Dining activity. Because of this opportunity, I served Radhe Akka many times and it was so special emotion for me. It was a beautiful experience when she was around. This Bhava Spandana program was special for the volunteers and the participants also because of her divine presence. Radhe akka is so beautiful, she is so down to earth and a loving person just like a mother.
The second important thing was that this Bhava Spandana program was specially organised for the ladies Sadhanapada 2023 participants. I met my friends from Sadhanapada during this program. Volunteering for the Sadhanapada participants was a special experience. I saw them transforming into loving souls within these 4 days of Bhava Spandana. We have a special bond now. So many thanks and love received from them on the last day was truly overwhelming.
As a Bhava Spandana program volunteer, I have to say that, yes, it was the most tiring and the most intense experience for me. As a program volunteer, I had the responsibility to make this program happen for them in the best way possible and also I had a few more opportunities to participate in the sessions, of course as a volunteer. So it became too tiring. In one of the important meditation sessions for the first time in my life, I experienced that as a volunteer I was intense energetically and at the same time I was 100% alert towards my responsibility. It was a one-of-a-kind spiritual experience. Sadguru says regular sadhana will make you intense and active at the same time. I experienced it during this program.
As a Bhava Spandana program volunteer, I have to say that, yes, it was the most intense spiritual experience for me. During one powerful meditation session, I experienced that as a BSP participant, the energy movement on my Agnya chakra was minimal. In the same session when I attended as a volunteer, I could feel energy moving in my Agya Chakra and moving towards my Crown chakra. In those intense moments, I understood why it is called the Crown Chakra. Because when energies become active on your head, it felt like I was wearing a crown on my head. I had this experience for the first time and it was so overwhelming. So I have to say that one can have more intense experiences on energy levels as a program volunteer than as a program participant.
During this program as a volunteer, I broke a few of my limitations. It was my period’s time and it was painful and still, I volunteered for it without a break. As a Bhava Spandana participant after the body-breaking sessions, you can take a break and rest. As a Bhava Spandana volunteer, you have to do the activities, participate in the powerful sessions and continue doing your activity. It was so much tiring and I am surprised that I did it so nicely. I realised my true physical and mental capabilities. I am thankful to the Ishanga Teachers and the Organising Ishangas who made this magic happen for us with their support and love.
Now it’s time to share THE BEST experience as a Bhava Spandana volunteer and THE BEST moments in my life. It was the last day of the Bhava Spandana Program. It was the last session for the participants. Suddenly as a beautiful surprise, Shri Sadguru entered the Spanda Hall. It was the best moment when I saw him coming and sitting on the Dias of the Spanda Hall. Like me, every volunteer and the participants were in tears and happily smiling at the same time. The intense connection I felt for my Shri Sadguru, I was so happy and I was crying in that same moment. We performed the last session in his divine presence. During the whole session, he was sitting on the Dias and chanting “Bhaj Guru Manase”. The session was over, He looked at us, and with both his hands he called us to come near the Dias and sit. We ran and sat near the Dias. He was sitting on the Dias and his right foot was placed on a small table. And all of us were sitting at his feet. That moment was the sweetest moment of my lifetime. ( I am crying now also when I am typing these words, it is so intense, his love for me, I am so lucky.)
For the first time in my life, I saw Sadguru from so close. For the first time, I saw my Sadguru’s right foot – The Guru Charan from so close. Oh! I am so lucky. He offered 10 minutes of Satsang on the subject of Bhava Spandana. Then my dream came true. He said to offer Guru Pooja to him directly and sat eyes closed. During my everyday Guru Pooja offering at the Sadhana Hall 2, I used to tell the Shri Sadguru’s photo, that I always offer Guru Pooja to this photo, one day I want to offer it to you directly, please make it happen for me and that day it happened. It was the moment my biggest wish came true to life. It was the 11th of August 2023 I offered Guru Pooja to my divine Shri Sadguru. I was crying and offering Guru Pooja to him. The way he was sitting, his attire and the love on his face are recorded on my Agnya chakra. Everyone around me felt the same way. We were aware of the luckiest moments we were experiencing. His love and grace touched us. It is the best Guru Pooja experience of my life so far. I offered Guru Pooja to Shri Sadguru with intense devotion and an intense sense of surrender like there was no next time for me as a life. I died in those moments of intensity with my Sadguru. I am thankful to him that he made it happen for me. I am so glad that he gave me this opportunity to offer Guru pooja to him as a pleasant surprise. After Gurupooja he vibrated vibhuti and gave us and blessed us all with his grace once again and left the Hall. We all were still crying then started hugging each other appreciating the divine moments we had. All the participants and the volunteers, now share a special bond. We smile more, we hug a little more tightly whenever we meet. After that moment, whenever I offer Guru Pooja, I witness the same scene on my Agnya chakra every time and it is so intense.
So whoever has completed the Bhava Spandana program as a participant, do think about doing Bhava Spandana program volunteering at least once in a lifetime. It will give you one more opportunity to clear your karmic blockages and also to experience Bhava Spandana once again.
