2026 marks the 21st Year of Yantara Jiro's Wesak Grand Ceremony!
The spiritual-energetic theme for 2026 is, "A New World". We know the activating element for this year is Fire, and it is increasingly showing its power and influence across the globe. The world is not only changing rapidly, but is also emerging anew. As change is impermanence, in the process humanity suffers and hardship continues to escalate. The reason for this is the lack of merits (positive energies) personally and collectively. In other words, humanity is exhausting positive energies faster than replenishing it.
To replenish, generate and multiply positive energies require performing good deeds sincerely and genuinely. This is becoming increasingly rare as personal gains are often foremost people's priority. It is a transaction rather than a "true-giving" - without expecting anything in-return. Negative thoughts, speech and actions burn up merits faster than anything.
On the Full Moon of Wesak, it is the most auspicious day where positive energies are not only generated, multiplied but also amplified. Our positive thoughts, actions and speech become incredibly powerful on this day and continue to set into energetic motion lasting eons of time, clearing countless lifetimes of negative energies. This is why Wesak is a powerful blessing and empowerment.
Wesak greatly empowers the attending individual (Participant) on this auspicious day to be blessed, empowered and charged while extending this blessing to our family, friends and the world. The merits are generated through activities such as meditations, visualisations, mantra recitations, and spiritual empowerments.
Let us come together to pray and generate merits for the world and uplift the consciousness of the Planet!
