Bhashya Parayan continued......( Nov 24, 2015 - Dec 6, 2015)

"The glow and power of Satsanga, association with the wise, saints, Yogis, Sannyasins and Mahatmas is indescribable. Even a moment’s company is quite sufficient to overhaul the old vicious Samskaras of the worldly people. The magnetic aura, the spiritual vibration, and the powerful currents of developed adepts produce a tremendous influence on the minds of worldlings. Service of Mahatmas purifies the minds of passionate men very rapidly. Satsanga elevates the mind to magnanimous heights. Just as a single matchstick burns huge bundles of cotton in a few seconds, so also, the company of saints burns all thoughts and Samskaras of passion within a short time. The only potent specific for inducing burning Vairagya and burning desire for liberation is Satsanga and Satsanga alone." - Swami Sivananda
 

It is a rare opportunity to get satsang of Mahatama. Devotees at the Ashram indeed were fortunate to receive Satasnga & Darshan of so many Mahatmas during Bhashya Parayan Yajana. H. H. Sri Swami Ishwarananda Giriji Maharaj from Mount Abu, H.H. Sri Swami Premanandaji Maharaj from Sivananda Ashram, Gawana-Ganeshpur and Uttarkashi, Srimat Swami Raghavanandaji Maharaj from Gangotri, Swamini Samananda Mataji, Swamini Vidya Prakashananda Mataji and many more attended the Yajana & blessed the devotees

Concluding of Yajna was on evening of Dec 6, 2015. It began with Bhakti Sangeet from Dr. Bansuriben Bhatt. On concluding satsang Revered Sri Swami Adhyatmanandaji Maharaj shared HIS core feelings about HIS Master Gurumaharaj Sri Swami Chidanandaji Maharaj and said that listening to Prasthan Treye Parayan and words of wisdom written in the Vedas & Upnishad are great. In Bhagawad Gita Lord Sri Krishna has described the characteristics of "Sthitha Prajana", but it is rare to see & meet the one. How blessed we are to live with HIM ! Swamiji went on and on narrating the life incidences of Gurumaharaj that was overwhelming and brought tears to the devotees. We know that the Guru never dies even though He might not be in the physical form, we observe that Pujya Swamiji incessantly feels the presence of Guru Maharaj. His devotion to Gurudev Sri Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj & Gurumaharaj Sri Swami Chidanandaji Maharaj is unparallel. Jai Ho Gurudev ! on concluding the satsang, all the Mahatma's were honored and grand bhandara (feast) was served to all.
