From 17th to 22nd April 2018, Swami Ramakrishnananda taught Life Management and Leadership Lessons from Valmiki Ramayana to 20 campers at Chinmaya Vibhooti Vision Centre. The camp was also attended by many Chinmaya Vibhooti and Chinmaya Naada Bindu Gurukula team members.
Swamiji took great efforts to impart life-orientated topics and values that are essential for not just one’s career but also for one’s life in general. Through various episodes of the epic, Swamiji shared thought-provoking insights into the subtlest of nuances of Sage Valmiki’s masterpiece. During the camp, On A Quest was screened, as well as some Upanishad Ganga episodes.
Adi Sankaracharya Jayanti was celebrated on 20th April at Swanubhooti Vatika, the enlightenment park at the Vision Centre. 90 pracharaks of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) also attended the programme, which included short talks by Swamiji and Shri Suresh Soni of RSS. Shri Mohan Bhagwat (Sarsanghchalak or Chief of RSS) joined Swamiji in performing aarti to the majestic statue of Shri Adi Sankaracharya.
This and also the rest of the camp had a heartfelt feel to it, thanks to the presence of Swamiji, whose clarity and creativity was appreciated by all campers.Â
