🦚 Shrimad Bhagavat Saptah with Swami Abhedananda – An Exceptional Spiritual Experience 🕉️

From 20th to 26th May, during the auspicious Purushottam Maas, the much-awaited Shrimad Bhagavat Saptah spiritual retreat with Swami Abhedananda took place at Chinmaya Vibhooti. Over 400 sadhakas, from 19 states across Bharat & 7 countries around the world, gathered to enrich themselves with the divine wisdom of our shastras & revel in the glories of Lord Krishna, through Swamiji's soul-stirring satsangs.

The campus overflowed with ecstacy & fulfilment as divine festivities of the Saptah enveloped all. Swamiji's satsangs revealed transformative secrets from Bhagavatam for contemporary living, & emphasised the importance of devotion, dedication, & knowledge. Through the narrations of many great clans, kings, & devotees, Swamiji explained the need for seekers to plan their spiritual journey from an early age by evolving through all stages of life as guided by Varna-Ashrama-Dharma. A recurring theme was the significance of being in the company of the Guru, saints, & scriptural knowledge, in order to keep oneself steadfast on the path towards God. Campers were enthralled by Swamiji's vivid, intense, & intuitive narrations of Krishna Leela. Debunking many misconceptions around Krishna Leela, Swamiji reinforced their faith and surrender unto Him.

Ram Janma, Krishna Janma, & Krishna-Rukmini Vivaha were celebrated with great fervour. The camp concluded with a sacred Paduka Puja in gratitude to Pujya Gurudev, marking the 75th Year Celebrations of Chinmaya Mission. Swami Sughoshananda (CM Goa), Brni Vrinda (CM Jodhpur), Br Raghavendra (CM Jhansi), Brni Kalindi (CM Panchkula), Brni Mitali (CM Sultanpur), & Brni Shanti (Chinmaya Vibhooti) also graced the camp. Campers expressed gratitude for the warmth, care, & comfortable stay in the uplifting ambiance of Chinmaya Vibhooti.

On the concluding day, two Hindi booklets of Swami Abhedananda were also released in commemoration of the Chinmaya Amrit Mahotsav – 'Gurudev Tava Mahaniya Kripa', in which Swamiji expounds upon the diverse glories of Pujya Gurudev, & 'Bhagavad Gita – Aapke Liye', which is a dive into the unique wisdom of Gita Panchamrit.

Gratitude and Prostrations unto the entire Guru Parampara, and heartfelt prayers to the Lord for the wellbeing of all. Hari Om!
