Gita Jnana Yajna in Jayanagar
Pujya Swami Krutatmananda of Hubli Dharwad centre conducted a Gita Jnana Yajna in Kannada from 17th to 23rd November, 2019 at Sri Rama Mandali, 9th Block, Jayanagar taking Bhagavad Gita Chapter 3. The Yajna was inaugurated by Smt Vishalakshi, Vice President of the temple.
Pujya Swamiji introduced Bhagavad Gita as an all time solution to problems of mankind where we are made aware of our wrong understanding as the root cause of all problems. So the solution lies in analyzing our wrong notions and overcoming them with right understanding. Actions performed with selfless attitude not expecting any result accepting the fruits in prasada bhava result in a pure calm mind that can take care of any situation in life. Further all actions performed with a cooperative endevour help in surrender of the Ego helping the sadhak overcome all negative tendencies like desire, anger, greed, delusion, etc., paving way for realising the ultimate.
The Yajna was attended well.
Kartika Masa Satsang
The special Kartika Masa Satsang in Sripaadakshetra, J P Nagar on Sunday, 24th November, 2019 started with Rudrabhisheka to the chanting of Rudra and various Vedic Suktas by students of Sadguru Veda Patashale headed by Sri Prashnat Sharma, disciples of the renowned Avadhoota of Sakkarayapattana followed by Satsang from Pujya Swami Brahmananda on Acharya Shankara’s Prashnottara Malika.
In a simple but power packed exposition Shankara takes up simple looking questions and answers them with deep practical and philosophical implications that need to be practised in our daily life. We need to prostrate and follow such persons who are embodiments of noble virtues like compassion, love, sacrifice and forgiveness following the strict codes of Dharma. The main causes of creating disturbance in the mind are sense of attachment, identification, ego, my and mine that destroy one’s personality completely. In this way Bhagawan Shankara has tried to drive home the fact with innocent looking queries that it is important to lead a satwic meaningful life serving society and at the same time intelligently seek answers to our existence by gaining Self knowledge through Satsang, Shravana, Manana and Nidhidhyasana.
The Satsang was attended by devotees and Mission members from all parts of the city.
Kartika Masa was observed daily in Sripaadakshetra, J P Nagar, Sharada Mandir, Koramangala centre and Deenabandhu Krishna Temple, Indiranagar with lighting and special puja on Mondays with classical music programme.
