Last year, every single one of my days was touched by the power and grace of Gurumayi’s Message for 2025, bringing immense benefit to my life. Throughout December, I devoted myself to absorbing the essence of all that I had learned, feeling deeply fulfilled by this process.
When I received Gurumayi’s Message for 2026, I felt completely embraced by its wisdom. Yet I know this is only the beginning—her Message will reveal itself gradually as I engage with it more deeply. I am now crafting contemplative questions to explore the depth of each word, seeking to truly understand the guidance Gurumayi has given me. This understanding will sustain and direct me throughout the year to implement the teachings in my daily life; this in turn will support me to move forward to reach the ultimate purpose of my human birth.
How blessed I am to have a Guru who lovingly cares for me, guiding each step of my journey with her profound teachings, boundless grace, and infinite compassion!

In Melbourne we received Gurumayi’s Message for 2026 in the magical hours deep in the night. Before Sweet Surprise began, I went outside and found the almost-full moon. My heart welcomed her light. It felt like a particular blessing preparing me for the sacred satsang to come.
When we received Gurumayi’s Message, the words resounded in my being. I felt them give form to a quickening I have felt in my sadhana—a greater commitment to my own heart. I know that Gurumayi’s Message will unfold in graceful and powerful ways that I can’t yet imagine, and that it will further my efforts to abide in my own heart.
After the satsang, throughout the night in my sleep these four words repeated over and over, “Renew! Observe! Recharge! Witness!”
How blessed we are!

Instead, I should aim to walk my path with sincerity, guided by dharma, inner discipline, and integrity. It has inspired me to keep my mind free from the weight of past negativity and to gently align it with the remembrance of the divine, through contemplation, meditation, and inner stillness.
For me, Gurumayi’s Message is a call to inner transformation and a step forward on the path to Self-realization.

Every year, Gurumayi’s Message gives me a new incentive in life, helping me move forward in my sadhana. Gurumayi’s Message for 2026 is wonderful and very powerful for me. Just hearing its first word, “Renew!” I immediately felt as if I was experiencing all the power of the entire Message. I felt it was my own. I learned all of the words right away, both in English and in my own language, Italian.
It is the Message I need this year. It seems to have been written especially for me. I feel that it will enable me to turn my life around and give me the strength to move forward and overcome the challenging times I am going through right now.

I absolutely love Gurumayi’s Message for 2026! It feels so joyful and filled with encouragement. The images from nature—of falling water, a mountainous expanse, fire, ocean—and their associated beautiful bands of color provide additional depth of meaning and ways to understand the Message and put it into practice.
One step I would like to take first is to explore the meanings of the first word in each line by looking them up in a dictionary; for example, I would like to better understand the differences in meaning between Renew and Recharge, and between Observe and Witness.

Knowing that this year will be profound beyond my current understanding, I am so grateful to Gurumayi for her teachings. I feel so much love in my heart.

Yesterday I contemplated my priority for 2026 and received this answer: “Act differently.” I wondered what to change and how. Then today, when I received Gurumayi’s Message, I realized that it answered precisely these two questions! There is so much grace and love in this synchronicity; it fills me with joy. I see it as a sign of a great blessing from my Guru.
This feeling of blessedness took root in my heart during the meditation in Sweet Surprise. My gaze was on Bade Baba, and the four bouquets of flowers surrounding him appeared to me as bearers of each of the four lines of Gurumayi’s Message. At that moment, I focused on each of the bouquets in turn and, to my great surprise, I remembered each of the four lines in the Message. Each bouquet seemed to contain the nectar of the Guru’s words and Bade Baba’s grace, so that I could integrate this teaching and make it my own during the year 2026. Thanks to my Guru, I begin this new year with great confidence, curiosity, and profound gratitude.

Gurumayi’s Message for 2026 stands out to me with its structure of four lines. I am planning to devote time to focus deeply on each line.

This year feels like I’m stepping into big changes, and with Gurumayi’s Message, I feel prepared and ready for whatever comes my way.

Gurumayi’s Message inspires me to expand my journey of inner growth and to become more aware, more present, more at peace. It is easy for me to get lost in the chaos of life, but it’s time for me to reconnect with my heart. I will focus on doing this through the practice of letting go and staying true to my values and the purpose of my life. I will try to stay aware of my thoughts, emotions, and actions and to allow myself to make conscious choices in order to lead a more purposeful life.
I am thankful to Gurumayi ji for giving us this study focus of the year.
