UPF California

UPF California Join Universal Peace Foundation California (UPFCal) supporting individuals seeking inner transformation.

Whatever we do, we search for the end result of happiness. No matter how hard we try, happiness cannot be found through the outside world. One has to dive deep within to find the source of happiness That source is nothing but inner pure consciousness. UPFNA is one of the very few organizations in the world guiding people to inner happiness through Kundalini yoga and meditation. Kundalini energy is

nothing but one’s own pure consciousness energy. UPFNA was incorporated formally as a non-profit organization in 2005, informally from 1998, with the view to teach yoga and meditation to the public. UPFNA The ultimate aim of the organization is to spread the universal peace through individual peace/inner peace by practicing the Kundalini Meditation. When an individual is peaceful within, the family is happy. When families are happier, the society, nation and gradually the whole world becomes peaceful and blissful. When an individual gains inner peace and persists in that state, one realizes that one is neither the gross body nor the subtle mind but is actually the inner pure bliss. This state is called enlightenment which frees one from the bondage of desires based on body and mind and attains true freedom within. The bliss that is experienced when one is in the state of pure consciousness is indescribable.

Intensive Kundalini Meditation Retreat – Advanced
June 11–13, 2026 | UPF Cal Center, San Jose

The Intensive Kundalini Meditation Retreat was one of the most profound and deeply transformative programs held at UPF California.

For three sacred days, approximately 25 participants came together in an environment of silence, discipline, advanced meditation, inner purification, and direct guidance from His Holiness GuruMahan.

This retreat was not simply a program — it was a powerful spiritual container where seekers were invited to go deeper within, strengthen their practice, and reconnect with the higher purpose of inner awakening.

One of the most meaningful highlights of this year’s retreat was the balanced participation of both women and men, reflecting a beautiful shift toward shared spiritual responsibility, commitment, and growth.

The retreat also brought together participants from diverse backgrounds, including Indian, Hispanic, German, Mexican, Chinese, and other communities. Some traveled from outside the Bay Area, including New Jersey and Los Angeles, to be in GuruMahan’s presence and deepen their practice.

This diversity reflected the growing reach, inclusiveness, and spiritual impact of UPF California’s work — a reminder that the path of inner transformation belongs to all sincere seekers, beyond culture, background, or geography.

A common feeling shared by many participants was the desire to remain connected with GuruMahan and continue the momentum created during the retreat. Many expressed a heartfelt wish for an ongoing monthly opportunity to receive guidance, deepen their practice, and stay connected to the spiritual discipline awakened during these sacred days.

With GuruMahan’s grace, this retreat became a powerful milestone in the journey of inner transformation, community building, and collective spiritual evolution.
