Anandmurti Gurumaa established a non-government, non-profit charitable organisation Rishi Chaitanya Trust in 1997.

Gurumaa also offers three to five days residential meditation retreats at her ashram; these retreats cater to every kind of individual.

Her teachings are centered on the message of be the light you seek, be the bliss you seek, be the truth you seek, be who you really are. She regards mediation to be an intensely personal process that can take one from thoughts to thoughtlessness, from chaos to peace, from ephemeral to eternal.
She believes that mediation needs to be experienced in order to be understood. For that, she has invented quite a few techniques that one can select as per their levels of comfort. She adds that one needs to learn the correct technique from a Master, or else they would spend lifetimes in the pursuit of desired zen.
