Lucknow: The capital city of Uttar Pradesh will witness the arrival of Kamlesh D. Patel, lovingly known as Daaji, the Global Spiritual Guide of Heartfulness Meditation and President of Shri Ram Chandra Mission, on Sunday, June 22, 2025.
Heartfulness is a global organization that provides free meditation services in more than 160 countries, committed to the service of humanity through spiritual practices. Daaji is the fourth in the spiritual lineage of Heartfulness masters and was honoured with the Padma Bhushan in 2023 by the Government of India for his distinguished service in the field of spirituality. In March 2024, he was named the Global Ambassador for Peace and Faith by the Commonwealth.
In addition to his spiritual contributions, Daaji is also a passionate environmentalist. Under his guidance, the Forest by Heartfulness initiative is working actively to preserve and propagate endangered plant species.

Daaji is also a renowned author of several international bestsellers such as The Heartfulness Way, Designing Destiny, The Wisdom Bridge, Spiritual Anatomy, and the latest release The Power of Paradox.

To mark his arrival in Lucknow, a series of special meditation sessions will be held from June 22 to 24, 2025, at the Babuji Memorial Ashram located on IIM Road. His visit follows earlier sessions conducted in Noida, Mathura, Aligarh, Kasganj, Badaun, Bareilly, Shahjahanpur, Fatehgarh, Kanpur, and Unnao. After Lucknow, he is scheduled to lead spiritual gatherings in Prayagraj and Varanasi.

Thousands of followers and spiritual seekers from across Uttar Pradesh and neighbouring states are expected to attend these sessions, which will focus on inner peace, meditation techniques, and spiritual growth.
The city is gearing up to welcome Daaji with warmth and reverence, as his presence is anticipated to bring a wave of introspection, environmental awareness, and spiritual awakening.
