A Week of Sacred Fire and Scripture at Om Center

July 6–12, 2026 · Om Center Divya Dham, Galion, Ohio

This July, Om Center Divya Dham welcomes the community for seven days of scripture, fire ritual, devotional music, and shared prayer. The Global Bhutanese Hindu Organization is honored to host the Annual Celebration of Vishwa Shanti Gyan Mahayagya 2025, held July 6 through July 12 at our 150-acre sanctuary at 4270 State Route 309 in Galion.

The teachings at the center of the week

The heart of the gathering is the Shrimad Devi Bhagwat Katha-Pravachan, led by the internationally renowned Kathavachika Shri Radhika Dasiji. Each day, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, she will walk attendees through the sacred teachings of the Devi Bhagwat — a text that carries the wisdom of the Divine Mother for all of humanity.

Alongside her, Vidushi Devaka Khanalji leads the Path-Parayan, devotional recitation of the Shrimad Bhagwat, Devi Bhagwat, Vishnu Sahasranam, Gopal Sahasranam, and the Vedas. She is joined by a group of dedicated women reciters whose voices will carry through the dham from morning to evening.

Every day of the celebration

Each day also holds a havan, a fire ritual offered for peace across the world, along with daily sessions of yoga, pranayama, and guided meditation. As the sun sets, the evenings turn to bhajan-kirtan and youth talent showcases, where the community's young people take the stage.

Come for a single morning or stay for all seven days. There is a place here for families, for elders, for young people, and for anyone drawn to the path of dharma. This celebration belongs to the whole community.
