India’s Next Mastermind Awards 2026 to Honour the Country’s Spiritual Leaders and Practitioners at New Delhi Ceremony

14th Edition of the India Spiritual Leaders Awards to be Held on July 18 at Hotel Tivoli, New Delhi

India’s Next Mastermind Awards 2026, under the banner of the India Spiritual Leaders Awards, will celebrate the country’s leading spiritual leaders, astrologers, yoga masters, healers, spiritual authors, and institutions at its 14th annual edition on July 18, 2026, at Hotel Tivoli, New Delhi.

India’s Next Mastermind Awards is a global recognition platform celebrating excellence across spirituality, business, leadership, and social impact, with a strong footprint in the UAE and India. Organised by Creating Brand Action and powered by the UAE’s Next Mastermind Awards, the event recognises excellence in India’s traditional and contemporary spiritual sciences, including Vedic astrology, Vaastu, reiki, pranic healing, past-life regression, yoga, tarot, numerology, hypnotherapy, and holistic wellness practices.

The awards enjoy the support of its official partners, including Approach Entertainment as the PR Branding Partner, Tivoli Hospitality Group as the Hospitality Partner, Go Spiritual, Knack Digital, Teztech News and News Live as Mastermind Media Partners, and Pankh (Wings to Succeed), SoulWise, and Ananta Merchandise as Branding Partners.

The awards are themed “Honouring India’s Spiritual Masterminds Globally” and will felicitate both individual practitioners and organisations that have preserved ancient knowledge systems while adapting them for modern audiences. Selection is based on authenticity, community impact, and innovative outreach. The platform is powered by the UAE’s Next Mastermind Awards, which has expanded into India through its collaboration with India Global Mastermind Awards, bringing international recognition to the country’s spiritual and wellness ecosystem.

India’s spiritual and wellness sectors have witnessed remarkable growth in recent years, driven by digital platforms, wellness tourism, and increased mainstream interest, particularly among younger generations. The awards aim to provide structured, credible recognition to a field that has traditionally relied on word-of-mouth reputation, while fostering collaboration across monastic, scholarly, institutional, and practitioner communities.

The ceremony will be graced by several eminent personalities. Dr. Ajay Kumar Pandey, National General Secretary and Spokesperson of Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) and Advocate at the Supreme Court of India, will attend as a distinguished guest. Shri Shri 1008 Mahamandaleshwar Anurag Ji Maharaj, a revered spiritual leader from Juna Akhara, will lend his presence, underscoring the event’s deep connection to India’s monastic traditions. Acharya K. Venkata Raman Ghanapati, a renowned Vedic scholar and “Ghanapathi” title holder from Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple, will represent the scholarly and liturgical dimensions of Vedic tradition.

Ajjay Bhhatia, Deputy Superintendent at Tihar Jail and recipient of the President’s Award for Correctional Services, will bring perspectives on spiritual practices within India’s correctional system. Prashant Nair, CEO of The Art of Living, one of India’s largest wellness and humanitarian organisations, will represent the yoga and meditation movement. Acharya Premchand Sharma, an eminent Vedic scholar with 15 world records in Aqua Yoga and the conductor of the Yog Yagya during the Ram Mandir inauguration, will also grace the occasion.
