🌼 Guru Puja at Reading Nagar 🌼

94 Swayamsevaks and Sevikas in Reading nagar celebrated Guru Puja on 17th July with utmost dedication, to pay the gratitude and Dakshina to our guru - Param pujya Bhagwa Dhwaj 🙏🏽

Geetali ji Khatri, West London Vibhag Nidhi Pramukh shared very important aspects of Guru Puja and guru dakshina. The essence of Guru dakshina is offering Tan-Man-Dhan to Sangh and more importantly to the whole samaj. It was a true reminder that Guru dakshina is not just offering but a promise of our dedication to our guru 🙏🏽

Adi Shankaracharya was a great Indian philosopher who taught the powerful idea of Advaita—that the soul and the universe are one. His wisdom continues to inspire millions to seek truth and self-realization.

On Shankaracharya Jayanti, we remember his teachings and celebrate the timeless path of knowledge, unity, and spiritual awakening. ✨
