From 7 to 23 November 2024, Chinmaya Vibhooti (the Vision Centre of Chinmaya Mission) was privileged to welcome the students of the 19th batch of the Vedanta Course in English, from Sandeepany Sadhanalaya, Mumbai, accompanied by their Course Acharya Swami Advayananda.
The students brought with them additional blessings in the form of Swami Tejomayananda, Swami Swatmananda, and Brahmacharini Maitreyi Chaitanya, who graced Chinmaya Vibhooti with their presence and teachings for different segments, creating a spiritually charged environment.
Beyond the classroom, joyful memories were created through activities such as star gazing, a palkhi yatra, a classical music concert, trekking and a brilliant skit by the students that left everyone in splits!
Informal interactions with Swami Advayananda outside the Annashree after meals, was a highlight for the students as well as for the residents of Chinmaya Vibhooti. These spontaneous gatherings would often resound with laughter and were also filled with inspiring words of encouragement to nurture sadhana and swadhyaya.
Continuing a cherished tradition, the batch participated in a tree planting ceremony. As the tree takes root and flourishes, it will stand as living witness to the batch’s spiritual journey and the ever growing ‘vibhooti’ (glory) of Pujya Swami Chinmayananda.
