Glimpses of the Warkari sewa undertaken by members of Sadguru Mangeshda Kriya Yoga Foundation, in July 2024.
This initiative was undertaken third year in a row and was as per the wishes of HH Sadguru Yogiraj Dr. Mangeshda. The intent was to perform selfless seva of Warkaris and experience the harmony & oneness among the Warkaris. This year saw a big increase in the number of Foundation volunteers who had come to perform sewa.

Ashadhi Pandharpur Wari or Wari is a yatra to Pandharpur, Maharashtra, to honour Vithoba (Lord Krishna). Lakhs of pilgrims (warkaris), join this procession on foot and travel hundreds of kilometres. Devotees from across Maharashtra take part in this yatra singing the glories of Vithoba and commemorating the saints. During the yatra, many pilgrims feel exhausted and weary due to physical stress. To help alleviate their pain and stress, the Foundation's team travelled to Saswad (near Pune) to offer their seva.

The team did their seva by carrying out activities like giving leg & foot massage, giving Reiki (healing energy), distribution of medicines etc. While performing their seva, the team members experienced a familial bond between themselves and the warkaris. Their seva was blessed by the warkaris with love and prasad.

Sadguru Dr. Mangeshda has Himself been part of many Waris and this initiative fulfilled His long pending dream of providing seva to warkaris. The team wholeheartedly thanked Sadguru Dr. Mangeshda for giving them the opportunity to experience selflessness and unconditional love. Jai Gurudev!!!
