Dear Students, Shambhala Warriors,

Students from around the world have come together for my wonderful workshops, and it has been truly heartwarming to share this sacred journey with you.

We traveled together in spirit to Shambhala in the Himalayas, where we visited our Lord Jesus Christ in His ashram. Following this profound experience, we welcomed the Angel of the New Year and set our intentions for 2026 – aligning ourselves with divine timing and higher purpose.

Recent Reflections

In January, we gathered for four consecutive Sunday mornings for the Kundalini Chakra Workshop. What an awe-inspiring experience this was. Together we went deeper, profoundly connecting with the Higher Self – the resonance of supreme consciousness, the Cosmic Ocean. The feedback shared at the completion of the course revealed its incredible impact, with many experiencing powerful insights and genuine spiritual growth.

The World Peace Mission continues to strengthen and expand. Through my workshops and our monthly World Peace Mission SOS meetings, many gather to bring peace and light into a world torn by conflict. Our Thursday Kriya Yoga group on Zoom continues to grow, offering a supportive space for meditation, healing, and peace – both for attendees and for the wider world.

A new group is now forming on the first Tuesday of each month at my ashram in the Queens Hotel, Penzance. This beautiful in-person gathering offers an hour of meditation by donation and has already been greatly enjoyed by those who attend.

The Power of the Prayer

Over the past few weeks, I have also felt deeply inspired by the World Peace Mission Prayer. A student living in India phoned to say that this prayer is a holy prayer and should be heard and spoken around the world. Reflecting on this, I realised just how profound it truly is.

Grails have now been formed around the world. These sacred grails arise through the breath – through groups gathered in love – and are then placed in sacred locations across the Earth. All of this has been created together with you as a collective, through our shared teachings and travels.

Now is the time for seeding and activation.

As I return to Goldegg at the end of this month, I recognise the divine timing. When we were last there, we seeded a Crystal Cosmic Grail. I now understand that the World Peace Mission Prayer is the living energy that will flow through and activate all this work.

This is the seeding time – the beginning of summer, when seeds are planted and the energy will spring forth. The seed will be activated and anchored into the Earth, and whenever the prayer is spoken, it will awaken and activate all the other grails around the world for peace.

The energy of this prayer carries the feminine vibration – soft pink and gold. The gold represents the power of the Father; the pink, the softness of the Divine Mother. It is the breath of love, the power of peace, the Cosmic Ocean rooted deeply within the Earth.

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year. One of the greatest gifts that we can have is gratitude. We feel gratitude for one another; we feel gratitude for Kriya Yoga; we feel gratitude for Babaji and Jesus Christ for their endless blessings. This is a wonderful time of year to be together and love one another, and it has been such a blessing for us all to come together on Zoom, in person, and at events.

It is a heartfelt warmth that we have for one another, and this warmth embraces the world with love, peace, and enlightenment for The New Age.

Over the last year, we have come together for many magical events which have been divinely inspired, and we are being led and held in this inspiration for the coming year.

We will be drawn together for the annual Christmas Workshop on Zoom this Sunday December 14th, when, on the inner planes, we will be visiting Our Lord Christ in his Holy Himalayan Ashram.

January 1st: We will be greeting the Angel of the New Year on Zoom.

January 11th, 18th, 25th, and February 1st: There is a wonderful Kundalini Chakra Workshop on Zoom for 2 hours each session. It is about releasing from old patterns and karma and materialising the crystal body of the cosmic ocean through each of our chakras so that they are at their fullest potential of light and love to manifest this vibration for humanity for The New Age.

Please Note

The first Thursday Shambala Meditation group of 2026 will be on Zoom on January 8th.

Many of us have walked this wonderful path together for years, guided by the divine masculine presence of beloved Babaji. As we enter winter, we embrace the sacred abundance of the Divine Mother, who brings forth sacred nourishment, beauty, abundance, flowers, and nature from her depths.

The goddess Meenakshi is rising, bringing vibrant new energy to the World Peace Mission. Her sacred expression, which we are gradually introducing alongside Babaji’s masculine principle, inspires us deeply. It’s fascinating that I once called you Shambhala warriors, unaware that Meenakshi herself was a warrior queen.

The Essence of Goddess Meenakshi

Goddess Meenakshi, revered as an incarnation of Goddess Parvati and the divine consort of Lord Shiva, radiates a harmonious blend of qualities that resonate deeply with our mission. Housed eternally in the sacred Meenakshi Sundareswarar Temple in Madurai, her living presence continues to bless devotees with wisdom, courage, and benevolence.

Strength and Courage

A valiant warrior queen, Meenakshi mastered martial arts and led fearless military expeditions. Her strength inspires resilience and determination.

Beauty and Grace

Known for her large, captivating eyes, her graceful form reflects divine beauty, reminding us to approach our mission with poise.

Compassion and Benevolence

Her compassionate gaze alleviates suffering and bestows blessings of protection, prosperity, and fertility.

Wisdom and Leadership

Raised with a profound education in the sixty-four Maha Vidyas, Meenakshi ruled with justice and wisdom.

Embodiment of Divine Feminine

As an incarnation of Parvati, she represents the perfect balance of masculine and feminine consciousness.

A Call to Action

Let us come together this season to embody the qualities of Goddess Meenakshi – courage to stand for peace, compassion to uplift one another, and wisdom to lead with clarity.

We have listed some upcoming Goddess Meenakshi below. Visit the World Peace Mission Events page to learn more about upcoming workshops and how you can contribute to our mission. May the divine light of Meenakshi guide us all toward a world of harmony and understanding.

With love and peace,
Swami Aliananda Paramahansa
Kriya Yoga Master & Founder of the World Peace Mission

We are shown in the summer the power of creation, the Goddess/God Consciousness. The summer is the light of creation, nature, God Consciousness, the power of creation is in its fullness. Take time to sit and breathe with the abundance and peace of the beauty around you.

Gurk Grail Seeding Success

The 3-day event in Gurk, Austria was absolutely wonderful, the group appeared to have bonded as one soul consciousness with many of the participants expressing profound positive changes in their lives as a result of the teachings. Thank you all for making it such a special and soulful event.

The feminine energy of the Goddess Meenakshi was very evident in the teachings, so needed in the world at the moment and we will be continuing with this thread of God/Goddess Consciousness in future events. My gratitude goes to Selwyn for organising the event and ensuring that it ran smoothly.

May Masterclass

The May Masterclass this year was a fantastic event attended by students worldwide, where we opened again to the understanding of God/Goddess Consciousness. The sacred teachings, meditations, Kriya Yoga breathing, pilgrimages to sacred sites, and the beauty of the Cornish landscape was thoroughly embraced and enjoyed by all. Thank you to all participants that made it such a special and soulful event.

I’m so looking forward to being with you all again in Cornwall in September for our annual Michaelmas Retreat. This is a 5-day retreat, however single days can be booked for teachings and pilgrimage. All are welcome. Full details and booking can be found on the worldpeacemission.com website.

Feminine Consciousness for the New Age

Selwyn has arranged another joyous 3-day retreat in November: The Feminine Consciousness for the New Age. The venue is at the beautiful Johannes-Schlößl der Pallottiner, nestled in the heart of Salzburg, Austria. All are welcome and I look forward to seeing you there.

For full details and booking for this and all upcoming events, please go to my website: worldpeacemission.com.

Have a blessed summer of abundance of love, happiness, peace and joy.

Love and peace is food for the world.

Thank you everyone for joining and coming together last year in the springtime in Goldegg, where we seeded a new grail for the new age. This year we will be gathering once again to seed a new grail in Gurk and I am very much looking forward to seeing you and being together again. I find it very nourishing and I hope you do too. It’s the nourishment of harmony and love, in service to one another, like the bees, we produce the honey of love which nourishes us.

Over the winter months we have been joining together on Thursdays and for Zoom events that I’ve done, to enhance and strengthen the understanding of the light and consciousness within us. And so we are gathering again, pilgrims, Shambhala Warriors and the emphasis this year in Gurk will be the Goddess energy, to inspire us, fill us with the seeds of the new age.

It’s an interesting time in the world and it’s not by chance that we’ve been called – divine synchronicity.

The grail understanding has now really come forward in The World Peace Mission. This is our work, to make a vortex here in the world, that the light from the finer dimension can be earthed here and help break the delusions of humanity.

In Cornwall in May during the masterclass we will be seeding the summer grail. Following this we will be seeding the autumn grail here in Cornwall during the Michaelmas, where we will be joining the great Archangel Michael.

I am looking forward to seeing you in Gurk and Penzance. This is the World Peace Mission in action. We have been prepared all these years but now is the time, The Golden Age.

This wonderful group, the Shambala Warriors, meet for meditation on Zoom every Thursday 17:30 – 18:30 UK time. All are welcome to this free event so please join our World Peace Mission.

This Christmas Newsletter comes with love and gratitude. Each one of you has been instrumental in bringing peace into the world. We are all part of Babaji’s World Peace Mission. We are all under the mantle, the Christ Consciousness of the Yogi Christ of India. Our Lord Jesus was trained and walked in the Himalayan mountains.

Not only are we having guidance and love from Babaji, but also from our Lord Jesus Christ and Elijah. In a past incarnation Elijah was Jesus’ mentor and teacher, who was Elisha?

We have been very held in the light of Elijah; these great beings, along with Mohammed and Buddha, have been over-lighting the group. Their energy, their impulse, their note and their light has initiated a deeper wisdom of the Self. We are all entering the kingdom of Self Realisation and God Consciousness.

At Christmas, our Lord Jesus shows us immortality, and we are lucky enough to be under the guidance of these great teachers to find and realise our immortal selves. This is the Christmas message and you are actually living it.

We have just been given the Shambala Warrior Prophecy, and for each of you who have been drawn to me to be trained, we are actively using the light to overcome the ignorance of mankind.

Thank you for all you have done.
Thank you for all the times we have spent together.
Thank you for all the effort each one of you has made.

Please join me for our beautiful Christmas meditation on Zoom, where together we visit our Lord Jesus Christ in his Ashram in the Himalayas on the inner planes.

Dear All,

I hope you all had a wonderful summer and you are well.

Austria Seminar in March – Grail Seeding in Gurk

I am very happy to report that I am recovering very well from the trip to India. A full medical check has shown my lungs to be clear and I will now be able to travel again so I am delighted to announce that I have organised a new seminar in Gurk, Austria in March.

The trip to India had a very profound impact on my spiritual journey. I had a truly transformational experience and whilst there attending rituals and blessings in the temples and having initiations with Swami Jagadeeswaran Krishnachakram, I connected with a new Goddess consciousness, the Goddess Meenakshi from the Madurai Temple and it is now my understanding to bring her energy back to Europe to seed the new light and help the world. She will be with us in Austria to seed this new Grail of light for humanity. I have been working with the masculine energy and now will be working with the feminine energy. The feminine energy is the creative power to create peace in the world, through love and service.

It is of great importance that we are all together for this auspicious event and also upcoming events. I feel that with the impulse of the Goddess Meenakshi, that we are gathering together, being blessed and transformed by her Holy energy. There is a purpose for the coming workshops, to attune to the Goddess energy before making the Grail in Gurk. I do hope you can be with me for the forthcoming online events and for the seminar in Gurk, to seed a new Grail in the heart of Austria and one of the spiritual centres of the world.

Dear Shambala Warriors, Students and Friends,

Peter Ballnik

Firstly, an important announcement regarding dear Peter Ballnik who has decided to step back from his organising role after 5 years. He’s been an immense help in pushing forward the WPM and has been the architect of much of what we are today. I am very appreciative of his efforts and he will be greatly missed.

March Gathering

Thank you all so much for the beautiful gathering in March in Goldegg for our sacred time together. After 4 years on Zoom, it was so fabulous to meet in person. We all had a sacred connection in our lives and it was great to see you in the flesh!

May Masterclass

Thank you so much to everyone that came for the May Masterclass. It was a miracle with the timing that I was just strong enough to do it. I had been very poorly in the lead up to the event but recovered sufficiently to do the seminars. I also found great strength and energy from seeing and being with you all so thank you!!

India Trip

As many of you will know I journeyed to India with my son Selwyn. We met a wonderful Swami who took us on a fascinating trip around the temples of Tamil Nadu in the south of the country. We had a very, transformational journey.

Unfortunately however, I fell ill with pneumonia and had to come home to Cornwall early, where I fell ill again. I have been advised by my doctor against travel which has led to me having to cancel the May/June trip to Austria.

November Trip to Austria

I have also been advised not to journey in November due to the weakness of my lungs and the cold weather.

I’m so disappointed not to be able to see you all in person BUT I will continue with the course on zoom and would love for you all to attend online and we can be together then.

The teachings will be 22, 23, 24th November – 10am – 12.30pm each day. I will also do the Sunday afternoon for the teachers as usual, 2pm – 4.30pm. Each session will be £50.

Bookings for the November event will be through Sapphire so please contact her.

Sapphire: sapphire@worldpeacemission.com

September in Cornwall

As usual I will be welcoming you all to Cornwall in September as planned for the Michaelmas Pilgrimage.

There is more information on the website so please check there.

Angel of the New Year Workshop

We will have our usual gathering to welcome in the New Year on the morning of 1st January 2025 from 10.30am – 11.30am. It will held on zoom and is a wonderful time for us to gather together and welcome in the New Year. Please contact Sapphire to book: £40

Chakra Journey 2025 for your Diary

I would love to do this again next year so will be doing the Chakra Journey course in January and the first week of February. The dates are Sundays 12th, 19th, 26 January and 2nd February, 10am – 12pm. Further information to come but please make a note in your diary.

Summary

I hope all these dates and events suit everybody. I’m so disappointed I can’t travel to come and see you all but hopefully you’ll be able to come here to Cornwall. If not, I will see you all on zoom and we can spend sacred time together there. I have tried to cover everything with the planned upcoming events but also have to reduce my workload to take care of my health so I hope I have found a sensible balance with these dates.

Summer Thoughts

The river of life the ocean is ever moving, changing and fresh. If there wasn’t movement and change, we would become stagnated. Welcome to the new summer growth of fullness and light.

With much love and peace,
Swami Aliananda Paramahansa

We are coming into the beauty of spring: fresh life, beautiful growth, strength. The earth is creating its beauty and there is wonderful news. A soul has joined our family, a beautiful, beautiful girl, Evelyn-Elizabeth Phillips. She was born on the Sunday, the Sabbath, in the afternoon of the 28th of January 2024.

It was very inspiring to feel and realise this heavenly soul embodied in such a beautiful baby. All babies born, all people bring their light to the world and each can, and does, change the world. She will bring her personality, her divine intelligence, and as she grows, she will express her song, her vibration, her beauty, her colour, and each human being does this. She is a Supreme creation, and she will create the Supreme. This is what each one of us does.

This springtime, this time of wonderful new beginnings, opens our hearts to the Divine Intelligence within, to sing your song for peace in the world.

This Christmas Newsletter comes with love and gratitude. Each one of you has been instrumental in bringing peace into the world. We are all part of Babaji’s World Peace Mission and we are all under the mantle, the Christ Consciousness of the Yogi Christ of India, Babaji.

At Christmas, our Lord Jesus shows us mortality and at Easter immortality. We are lucky enough to be under the guidance of our Lord Jesus and these great teachers to find and realise our immortal selves. This is the Christmas message, the birth of the Christed human being born in a mortal body in the world. As a group we are finding and embodying this Christ consciousness through the sacred practice of the Kriya Yoga breaths.

Our Lord Jesus Christ was trained and walked in the Himalayan mountains. Not only are we having guidance and love from Babaji, but also from our Lord Jesus Christ and Elijah. In a past incarnation Elijah was Jesus’s mentor and teacher – and this was Elisha (Jesus).

We have been very held in the light of Elijah; these great beings, along with Lord Mohammed and Lord Buddha, they have been over-lighting the group. Their energy, their impulse, their note and their light has initiated a deeper wisdom of the Self. We are all entering the kingdom of Self Realisation and God Consciousness.

We have just been given the Shambhala Warrior Prophecy, and for each of you who have been drawn to me to be trained, we are actively using the light to overcome the ignorance of mankind.

Thank you for all you have done.
Thank you for all the times we have spent together.
Thank you for all the effort each one of you has made.

Please join me for our beautiful Christmas meditation on Zoom on the 16th December starting at 10.30-11.30 where together we visit our Lord Jesus Christ in his Ashram in the Himalayas on the inner planes.

This wonderful group, the Shambala Warriors, meet for meditation on Zoom every Thursday 5.30-6.30 UK time. All are welcome to this free event so please join our World Peace Mission.

Love and peace is food for the world.
