🌸 हमारे साथ श्री रघुनाथ तो किस बात की चिंता... 🌸
Param Pujya Guruji Swami Tejomayanandaji's Divine Visit to Vadodara

Vadodara was truly blessed as Pujya Guruji visited the city after 10 years, invited lovingly by Dr. Jayantabhai Dave, President – Divine Life Society, Vadodara, on the occasion of their 75th anniversary.

On 30th Oct, Guruji was welcomed at Chinmaya Sadhana with शंखध्वनी and Poorna Kumbha.
On 31st Oct, in a special satsang, Guruji beautifully explained the first two shlokas of Geeta Panchamrutam. The hall was full with Acharyas, presidents & devotees from Vadodara, Ahmedabad, Surat, Bhavnagar & Surendranagar.
In the evening at Nakshatra Party Plot, Guruji spoke on “How to make our life divine” and quoted from Sri Ramcharitmanas. His discourse & bhajans mesmerised all, with Saints, Vedantins & dignitaries present.

On 1st Nov, during the second satsang, Guruji explained the last three shlokas of Geeta Panchamrutam. Children—winners of the Chinmaya Geeta Chanting Competition—chanted verses from Gita Ch.15, receiving Guruji’s blessings and praise.

Evening informal satsangs gave devotees a chance to interact closely with Guruji, leaving hearts full of joy, love, and wisdom.

A heartfelt thanks to Sri Jayantabhai Dave, Divine Life Society Vadodara, all Acharyas & members of Chinmaya Mission Gujarat, and special thanks to Dr. Manisha Khemlani ji (CEO CCMT) & Ms. Darshini Bhatt for escorting Guruji from Mumbai.

This blessed visit will remain forever in our hearts.

GUJRATHI SATSANG MULUND CENTRE

For five sacred days, the Mulund Centre resonated with the Lord’s teachings in the Gujarathi Gnana Yajna from 10th November to 14th November. Pujya Swami Deveshananda Saraswati Ji the revered head of Chinmaya Mission Baroda delighted the devotees with his simple language.

In the evenings, Swamiji unfolded the wisdom of the fifteenth chapter of Srimad Bhagavad Geeta. His discourses, delivered in Gujarathi, were thoroughly enjoyed by young and old alike.

In the mornings, Swami ji delivered a soothing Satsang in Hindi on Shri Ram Raksha Stotra. Through countless simple yet striking examples drawn from everyday life, Swamiji lit the lamp of knowledge in every heart and made the seemingly incomprehensible Stotra very easy.

A special jewel in the Ram Raksha Satsang was his teaching of the Karanyas for the Raksha Kavach—a delightful revelation to many who had never known it before.

In the Geeta discourses, Swamiji painted before the listeners a magnificent vision of Bhagavan, describing to Arjuna the majestic Samsara tree. Swamiji explained vividly how this tree can be slayed with the sword of detachment. Interwoven with his talks were cherished anecdotes and quotations of Param Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda Ji, transporting all those present into the radiant era of Pujya Gurudev himself.

The devotees were deeply moved by Swamiji’s presence and wisdom. With hearts full of devotion and gratitude, they earnestly requested him to grace the Mulund Centre again and yet again.
