Dear All,
 Hari Om! Greetings from Adi Sankara Nilayam, Veliyanad!
 Today, on this auspicious morning – 2ndOctober, 2018 – at Chinmaya International Foundation, Veliyanad, 5 more precious lives dedicated themselves to Chinmaya Mission and the vision of Pujya Gurudev. I am happy to announce the initiation of yellow-clothed Brahmacharins into the flaming orange Sannyasa ashram as Swamis and Swaminis. Their new names, preceded by their earlier names are:
Br Vamsi – Swami Vijayananda (CM Vijaynagaram)
Brni Vidya – Swamini Shreyananda (Chinmayaranyam)
Br Hrishikesh – Swami Sarvatmananda (CM Kothapatnam)
Brni Bhavana – Swamini Pavitrananda (CM Renigunta)
Brni Vibha – Swamini Supremananda (CM Kurnool)
Attached is a photograph of the new initiates.
May the grace of God and the blessings of our entire Guru Parampara lead them to the ultimate goal of Self-realisation.
A small video of the announcement of their new names can be viewed on the YouTube channel of Chinmaya Mission. The link is:
Today we have inaugurated the third Malayalam Vedanta course at Sandeepany Kerala, Adi Sankara Nilayam, Veliyanad. I invoke Bhagwan Sankaracharya and Gurudev’s Blessings on Swami Sharadananda and the students.
Love,
At His Feet,
Swaroopananda
