Gita Jnana Yajna in Vijayanagar
Pujya Swamini Sampannananda of Malleswaram centre conducted a Jnana Yajna in Kannada taking Vakya Vritti at Chinmaya Mission Centre, Vijayanagar from 13th to 19th Oct, 2019. The Yajna was inaugurated by Sri K B Kamath, senior member of the Mission.
Pujya Sampanamma explained how Bhagawan Shankara in Vakya Vritti has beautifully explained unity in diversity through the vision of oneness besides removing all wrong notions that ‘I’ am the body. His down to earth examples remove all misconceptions regarding death inspiring the sadhak to lead a fearless life full of meaning and gratefulness just as a Mahatma who revels in His inner peace amidst all the ups and downs in life.
The Yajna was a grand success with participation of several sadhaks.
Gita Jnana Yajna in Indiranagar
Pujya Swami Chidrupananda of Noida centre conducted a Gita Jnana Yajna in English taking Bhagavad Gita Chapter – 13 at Deenabandhu Kalia Mardhana Krishna Temple, Indiranagar from 18th to 24th Oct, 2019. The Yajna was inaugurated by Smt Bharati and Sri Sunil, senior members of the Mission.
Pujya Swamiji gave a vivid explanation of how the study of Bhagavad Gita expands one’s vision giving a crystal clear concept of life which is nothing but a series of challenges from womb to tomb and interaction with “I” the individual and outer world. All our suffering is mainly because of identification with the pluralistic world due to ignorance and wrong notions. Inculcation of positive values in life protect one from various situations, problems and onslaughts of society helping the sadhak navigate the sea of samsara to gain the supreme knowledge.
The Yajna was well attended with Pujya Swamiji also conducting a Youth workshop entitled – Making Success a Habit on Sunday, 20th October, 2019 which was attended by over 75 youngsters.
