On Line Gita Jnana Yajna
Pujya Swami Krutatmananda of Hubballi and Dharwad centres conducted on line Gita Jnana Yajna in Kannada from 1/11/2020 to 8/11/2020 on Bhagavad Gita Chapter – 3. Pujya Swamiji beautifully explained how it is important not to abdicate action in the name of renunciation but to perform action with a selfless attitude and cooperative spirit. What is important is to understand the fact that it is impossible to stay away from action and perform all actions sincerely with dedication without expecting any result but develop an attitude to accept what comes with humility and gratitude. It is also very important to lead life in a give and take policy that can inspire the next generation to follow and experience a peaceful and meaningful life. All realised Masters have lived such a life with complete control of their senses – thought, word and deed demonstrating that leading such a detached but active life is actually possible.
The Yajna was well viewed by hundreds of sadhaks.
Kartika Masa Celebrations
Kartika Masa celebrations commenced from 13th November, 2020 – Deepavali with the usual religious fervor in Sripaadakshetra, J P Nagar with daily lighting of the temple complex and special puja to Lord Shiva. Special Rudrabhisheka, alankara and seva were performed on Mondays with devotional songs in the evening. The pandemic situation no doubt deterred the regular devotees who would come in large numbers but online viewing of the puja every day was viewed by thousands. Quite a number of devotees did visit the temple and participated in the celebrations that had the same glamour of previous years. The celebrations will end on the 14th December, 2020 – last Monday of Kartika Masa.
