Palden Dorje planned to give blessings from the 18th to the 23rd of November, 2009 at the site of Gadhi Mai Mela. However, for security reasons priests were unwilling to allot a space for the puja. Palden Dorje plans to make an appearance at the mela on the 24th of November when the sacrifices of hundreds of thousands of animals take place.
Palden Dorje became world famous when he began a six year meditation at fifteen to promote world peace in May of 2005. He meditated for at least ten months in front of crowds apparently without sustenance in Bara District’s Ratanpuri before disappearing to continue his meditation in private.
Last year, he gave blessings in November. Approximately 400,000 pilgrims queued in the jungle to receive his blessings over a 12 day period. He made two speeches in which he urged people to recognize the compassion in their hearts, and their connection to one another through the all-encompassing soul.
