Former member of the group «Fabrika» Sati Kazanova also faced changes in her personal life at the very beginning of 2026. The singer received monastic status and told about it in her Telegram channel.

«On the very first day of 2026, events occurred that were stunning and fatefully important for me. I»ll start with the backstory. We traditionally celebrated Christmas and New Year holidays with my Italian family at the Ashram of our Guruji in Germany. On December 31, during his pre-New Year message, the teacher announced that he intends to initiate five grihasthas into a special monastic status (grihastha — from Sanskrit, refers to a householder in the Sanatana Dharma tradition) and also added that these people will have certain authorities and responsibilities regarding the master«s spiritual mission,» the star wrote in her blog.

She said that everything happened suddenly. On January 1, the singer was sitting in the temple in Germany with a child in her arms, when people started approaching her and whispering: «Gurudev is calling you.» Sati handed the baby to her husband and, with a bow, went to the Teacher. He, squinting his eyes, said that she had become one of the chosen ones.

«Shock. Joy. Astonishment. Jubilation. Fear. Awe. Confusion. Gratitude. These are only part of the experiences I felt at that moment. In the end, there were nine of us — five men and four women. All married, with or without children. After certain purification rituals, we underwent the initiation ceremony itself. It is hardly possible to put into words the grandeur and joy of this moment!» said Sati.
