32nd anniversary
The eternal light in Vienna marks thirty-two years of continuous spiritual significance. This flame represents a commitment to higher consciousness and global harmony. It requires constant, dedicated care to maintain its presence. After twelve years, the light is said to attain a perfected spiritual power, known as siddhi or śaṅkalpa śakti. We extend congratulations to the Vienna Āshram for this enduring symbol. Its purpose is for the awakening of consciousness and the protection of all life. It stands as a beacon for love, mercy, and world peace. This anniversary is celebrated through modern connections like webcast and email. The light's perpetual burn is a testament to sustained spiritual practice. Its meaning transcends the physical flame to embody universal goodwill.
"thirty years of eternal light for the awakening of consciousness, for the protection of the environment, for love and mercy to all creatures, and for world peace—that is what this light stands for."
"After twelve years, the light attains siddhi, śaṅkalpa śakti."
