Thousands gather in Rohini, Delhi, for the delightful 4-Day Guru Purnima Mahotsav with HH Sudhanshu Ji Maharaj and Dr. Archika Didi

 

Delhi – July 21, 2024: The spiritual landscape of Rohini, Delhi, was vibrant with devotion and divine energy as thousands of devotees, disciples, and seekers gathered for the 4-day Guru Purnima Mahotsav, held from July 18 to July 21, 2024.

The event was graced by the esteemed presence of His Holiness Sudhanshu Ji Maharaj and Dr. Archika Didi, whose guidance created an atmosphere of profound blessings and spiritual bliss.

The 4-day Mahotsav featured spiritually enriching programs designed to deepen the connection between Guru and Shishya.

The program was organized at The Golden Decor (Shakti Tent), Rohini, Sector 12, Delhi.

The founder and spiritual guide of Vishwa Jagriti Mission, His Holiness Sudhanshu Ji Maharaj, inaugurated the program on 18th July.

Addressing the inauguration ceremony, Param Pujya Maharajshri said, “Everything in this world brings attachment to humans, and the one who is detached from this illusion, gets connected to God. Guru shows the way to live without attachment. Devotees address God by various names. God is omnipresent, and He is omnipotent. The dynamism in the world is due to God alone. God is the power behind every change in the world.”

Maharajshri also said, “People should live life with such realization of God and also with the spirit of seva, and it is only with the inspiration of Guru that a person introspects and adopts the path of self-improvement and spiritual development.”

During the program, Vice President of Vishwa Jagriti Mission and Yoga Guru, Dr. Archika Didi Ji, said, “They are fortunate whose consciousness is awakened by the grace of a Guru. Fragrant flowers of peace and happiness bloom in their lives.”

Didi Ji further said, “Whatever seeds we plant on the earth, we plant them in a particular season. Similarly, to get the fruit of happiness, a special kind of season has to be created within us. Awaken the season of faith in God and the Guru within you. Make it a habit to do every task happily and love your work. Try to bring novelty to your work every day. There is novelty in nature; connect with nature. Improve your life by getting inspired daily by the holy scriptures and Guru.”

In addition to various spiritual practices, the Mahotsav also included discourses by His Holiness Sudhanshu Ji Maharaj and Dr. Archika Didi.

Their teachings provided deep insights into the essence of Guru Purnima and its significance in a devotee’s spiritual journey.

The Special Guru Purnima Program on 21st July, a highlight of the event, brought together various devotional activities. It also involved live Purnima Darshan, which delighted devotees and seekers.

Key highlights of the 4-day program included the Guru Mantra Siddhi Sadhana, a practice aimed at achieving perfection in the sacred Guru Mantra; Divya Shaktipat Kriya, an ancient technique for the transmission of Guru’s energy for empowering disciples; Guru Mantra Diksha, the initiation ceremony under the guidance of Maharajshri; and the much-anticipated Live Purnima Darshan, where devotees experienced the divine sight of Param Pujya Maharajshri.

On the second day of Guru Purnima Mahotsav, Shri Mohinder Goyal Ji, honourable member of Legislative Assembly, Delhi Assembly Constituency, Rithala, also visited the Guru Purnima Mahotsav venue to take blessings from Maharajshri.

Many other dignitaries including Shri Govind Chaudhary Ji (Director Anmol Biscuit), Shri Pawan Gupta Ji (Proprietor PP Jewelers, New Delhi) also came to seek the blessings.

Disciples and seekers from VJM Canada chapter, VJM Dubai chapter, and VJM Hong Kong chapter also joined the program and expressed their gratitude towards Maharajshri and Didi Ji for organizing such a grand and blissful Guru Purnima Mahotsav in the national capital. The event was a testament to the deep spiritual bond between Guru and disciples, as devotees from across the region flocked to Delhi to join the Mahotsav.

The serene and sacred atmosphere at the program venue provided an ideal setting for introspection, meditation, initiation, and spiritual rejuvenation.

As the Mahotsav drew to a close, devotees expressed their gratitude for the divine experiences and blessings they received.

The 4-day grand event underscored the timeless wisdom of the Guru-Shishya Parampara and the transformative power of divine grace and Guru’s guidance.

The Transformative Power of Guru Purnima in Our Lives

The Transformative Power of Guru Purnima in Our Lives

“If you want, you may miss Guru Darshan on festivals like Holi or Dipawali, but never miss being in the company of your Guru on Guru Purnima, for it is the biggest and most important festival for disciples. The day has the power to bring positive transformation into a disciple’s life.”

-HH Sudhanshu Ji Maharaj

Guru Purnima, a beautiful and ancient tradition, stands as a testament to the strong bond between a Guru and their disciples. This sacred day, dedicated to expressing gratitude to the Guru, carries profound significance in the spiritual calendar of any Guru devotee.

The transformative power of Guru Purnima lies not only in the rituals performed but also in the deep-seated recognition of the Guru’s crucial role in guiding devotees, disciples, and seekers towards happiness, blissfulness, self-knowledge, progress, and inner peace.

The sacred celebration transforms Guru’s devotees by deepening their spiritual connection, filling them with gratitude, and strengthening devotion. The holy rituals and teachings received during this auspicious day inspire self-reflection, personal growth, and renewed commitment to the Guru’s path, enhancing the devotee’s spiritual journey and inner peace.

Celebrated with zeal and devotion, it is a day that underscores the timeless wisdom imparted by our Gurus, His Holiness Sudhanshu Ji Maharaj and Dr. Archika Didi.

Guru Purnima: An Occasion to Bring Perfection to Your Spiritual Life

Param Pujya Maharajshri says, “Life is a long journey. In the course of this journey, the inner world of any human being cannot stay untouched by some Tamasic attributes and negativities that weaken and sometimes completely suppress ‘Saubhagya’—the divine element that makes life happy and prosperous.

“To awaken Saubhagya, or good luck, and get a protective shield that not only protects a human from life’s inevitable turbulence but also motivates him or her to make consistent progress in life, a devotee goes for Guru Darshan, especially on the auspicious occasion of Guru Purnima.”

“Guru Purnima has a great significance when it comes to the sacred bond between a Guru and devotee. Certain times are of immense importance in life, for example, the day on which a person takes birth or the first day of a new year on which we make a resolution to start life afresh; likewise, in the spiritual realm, Guru Purnima can be considered a new day or a fresh year for a Guru devotee.”

“On this Vyas Parv, it is important for every disciple to visit his or her Guru and elaborate on his or her spiritual progress; take Sankalp (resolution) to further make progress and reach new heights in life.”

Guru Purnima: The Most Important Festival for Disciples

Param Pujya Maharajshri also says, “Guru Purnima is an opportunity when everyone gathers at the Guru Dham, contemplates in the company of Guru, and such a congregation opens the door to self-reflection, joy, and progress in life.”

“India is a land of festivals. In some festivals, we express our reverence toward God, like Ram Navami and Janmashtami. There are also festivals to celebrate certain relationships, like Raksha Bandhan and Karva Chuath. Likewise, there is also a festival that celebrates a relationship that is above any relationship in this world—the bond of a Guru and disciple.”

“Guru Purnima is the day to express gratitude, receive affection from Guru, get connected to His grace, and get ready to make life precious with His blessings.”

“So, this Vyas Parv or Guru Purnima is celebrated, and it is an occasion that brings perfection to anybody’s spiritual life, just like the moon that displays its matchless beauty on the night of Purnima, and it looks just perfect.”

“Everyone should endeavor to give his or her life such timeless beauty and perfection. And Guru Purnima is the occasion to realize such a transformation in life. If you want, you may miss Guru Darshan on festivals like Holi or Dipawali, but never miss being in the company of Guru on Guru Purnima, for it is the biggest and most important festival for disciples. The day has the power to bring positive transformation into a disciple’s life.”

Therefore, on Guru Purnima, disciples gather to honor Param Pujya Maharajshri’s contributions to their spiritual journeys. The day begins with meditation sessions, reflecting His teachings on mindfulness and inner tranquility. Devotees listen to spiritual discourses where the profound wisdom of Maharajshri is shared, reminding everyone of the path of righteousness and self-discipline.

A Day of Seva, Guided Meditations, Healing Practices, and Insightful Discourses

A quintessential aspect of Maharajshri’s teachings is the practice of seva (selfless service). Therefore, on Guru Purnima, disciples in India and abroad partake in various social service activities, embodying the spirit of giving and compassion that He teaches. These acts of kindness are seen as offerings to the Guru, symbolizing their commitment to the principles he upholds.

The day culminates in a special prayer ceremony where devotees express their gratitude and seek blessings for continued guidance on their spiritual paths.

Furthermore, on Guru Purnima, devotees celebrate Dr. Archika Didi’s contributions to their spiritual lives with equal enthusiasm. Her sessions on Guru Purnima include guided meditations, healing practices, and insightful discourses that inspire devotees to delve deeper into their spiritual consciousness. Her approach to spirituality is both contemporary and accessible, resonating particularly with the younger generation.

On Guru Purnima, her teachings reach a wider audience through live broadcasts and online sessions, allowing devotees from around the world to participate in the celebrations. The inclusive nature of her approach ensures that the wisdom of the Guru is accessible to all, regardless of geographical boundaries.

Guru Purnima Celebration with Maharajshri and Didi Ji.

The celebration of Guru Purnima under the guidance of His Holiness Sudhanshu Ji Maharaj and Dr. Archika Didi serves as a poignant reminder of the transformative power of a Guru’s guidance. It is a day that transcends mere ritual, fostering a deep connection between the Guru and the disciple.

The essence of Guru Purnima lies in its ability to awaken the latent potential within individuals, guiding them towards a life of virtue, wisdom, and inner peace.

In the modern world, moreover, where the quest for meaning and purpose is more pronounced than ever, our Guru’s teachings offer a light of hope. Their wisdom provides the tools necessary to navigate the complexities of life, emphasizing that true fulfillment lies in spiritual awakening and the pursuit of selfless love.

Empower yourself with positivity and patriotism

On 13th August 2022, The World Awakening Mission of Canada (WAM) celebrated Shakti Parv and India’s Amrit Mahotsav. Devotees of all age groups came together to sing praises to The Lord and to their Divine Masters, HH Sudhanshu JI Maharaj and adorable Dr. Archika Didi. The evening was even more blessed with special blessings from Maharajshri and Didi. Their key message for the devotees was to celebrate ‘Shakti’ and to realize that each one has this shakti or prakriti within. There is a constant need to realize it and awaken it so that one can achieve the true purpose of this human life.

Didi encouraged every person of Indian origin living abroad, to send positive vibrations for their Mother Land and see it prosper even further. She said, ‘if negative words and thoughts can make you feel bad then why can positive words and thoughts not leave a positive impact? So be positive’. Maharajshri reminded the devotees of the rich spiritual heritage and traditions of India. He said that Raksha bandhan should not be limited to tying a thread on the brother’s wrist but instead it should be about protecting and nurturing all the relationships that are important in your life including your relationship with your Guru.

[Best_Wordpress_Gallery id=”167″ gal_title=”Canada Birthday”]

The evening was filled with bhajans, patriotic songs, Guru Arti and concluded with a very special birthday musical greeting for Archika Didi. Since it was Didi’s birthday, the children could not go by without cake cutting and balloons. The WAM members are grateful for the Divine connection with their homeland that keeps them rooted with their values and the sprit of desh bhakti.

The organization is a very tiny branch of the gigantic tree that was planted by Maharajshri over three decades ago. The branch strives to grow and spread His messages far and wide. There are monthly satsangs, food drives and other social initiatives organized from time to time.

How about Gurukul System of Education ? | Sudhanshu ji Maharaj | Vishwa Jagriti Mission

The Gurukul System of Education

The ‘Gurukul’ system of education is the essence of Indian way of imparting education. Basically, a Gurukul is a school where students learn and live along with their Gurus and receive formal education, ethical values and life skills. Gurukul has significant mythological connotations as well. Lord Ram, the Pandavas, Luv-Kush, and Lord Krishna received their formal education in a Gurukul under the guidance of a Guru and even today, the Gurukul system holds a great significance. 

Adopt a caring of a senior Citizen

 

Vedic Age & Gurukul System

The Gurukul System was more widespread during the Vedic age where students were taught diverse subjects. The education was largely based on Vedas, grammar, the study of nature, logic, reasoning, science and other skills that are necessary for an occupation. Gurukul was the home of the Guru and the centre of learning where disciples stayed till the end of their schooling. All pupils were considered equal at the Gurukul.  Adopt a caring of a senior Citizen

Gurus as well as Shishyas resided in the same dwelling. The relationship between Guru and Shishya was considered sacred. No fee was taken from the students. Though, the disciples had to offer a Gurudakshina. It was a symbol of deep respect paid to the Guru.Adopt a caring of a senior Citizen

The Key Objectives of the Gurukul System

The key objectives of the Gurukul system of education are-

  • Imparting Education with Moral Values
  • Social Awareness
  • Perseverance & Self-Control
  • Character Building
  • Personality Development
  • Spiritual Development
  • Preservation of Indian Culture 

Gurukuls in the Present Time

The Gurukul system of education is still prevalent in India. They focus on imparting education to the needy students in a natural surroundings where they can live with other students while inculcating the values of humanity, discipline and brotherhood. They study language, Science, Mathematics through Swadhyay and group discussions. They also acquire knowledge in fields like sports, arts, crafts, dancing and singing. 

At the Gurukul, the focus is on developing intelligence and ability of critical thinking in the learners. They take part in activities such as meditation, Pranayam and Mantra chanting. One such Gurukul is, Maharishi Vedvyas Gurukul Vidyapeeth which is a unique centre of teaching located at Anand Dham Ashram, Delhi. HH Sudhanshuji Maharaj laid the foundation of this Gurukul on 2nd October, 1999. Adopt a caring of a senior Citizen

Here, students pursue their studies as per the curriculum of the Sanskrit university of Varanasi. They study all formal subjects along with the Vedas, Purans, Ramayana, Gita, Meditation, Music, Computer, and also get involved in co-curricular activities.  The beautiful centre of learning is situated in a pollution-free, clean and natural environment. All necessary educational facilities are available here where students from the underprivileged and poor sections of Indian society are given free education. They get free facilities of residence, food, clothing and healthcare. Adopt a caring of a senior Citizen

The Way Forward

Modern Gurukuls should be based on applied knowledge to prepare the students in all areas of education. It could be done by creating a perfect environment of academics and extracurricular activities for students. The application of the Gurukul system works on a value-based system and so the focus should be on the individuality of the student. They must excel in their area of interest. It will build a good character in them so that they can become what they want by understanding the whole concept of a balanced life. Such an education system will cultivate well-adapted and resourceful human beings who can face any challenge in life with bravery. Adopt a caring of a senior Citizen

Top 5 Reasons to Give What You Have | Vishwa Jagriti Mission

Top 5 Reasons to Give What You Have

‘ When you learn, teach. When you get, give.’ 

Maya Angelou

For the majority of mankind, winters mean putting on beautiful woolen clothes, lying in warm rooms, and having hot beverages. But for people on the streets, it’s a constant fight with the ruthless weather and a brutal question of survival.

Unsurprisingly, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD)’s recent data reflects a nerve-wracking trend. It shows that cold waves killed more Indians than heatwaves since 1980. Moreover, according to IMD, many North Indian cities, including Delhi, are continually witnessing ‘severe cold’ days as the minimum temperature sometimes drops to 4 degrees Celsius. Certainly, the coming few days (Dec-Jan) would be really struggling for a large number of street dwellers.

Can we do something about it? 

We usually say that hundreds and thousands of people die of cold every year, but we don’t understand that they die because they don’t have blankets and woolen clothes. 

Needless to say that we can bring a difference in their life effortlessly.

We can offer blankets directly to the needy by visiting their area or shelter homes (night shelters) or we can consult the organizations that are involved in social work. Giving in itself is a divine virtue and it ultimately leads to many nice outcomes.

Top Five Reasons to Give

  1. The Small Gesture of ‘Giving’ Has a Big Impact

While discussing the sufferings of the underprivileged, many people feel profound sorrow and think that there is nothing we can do about the situation as we are not rich. 

But here, you don’t need to be a millionaire to make a significant difference in someone’s life. 

Search and you will find many opportunities wherein you can offer a meager amount and offer help to someone who is struggling to survive during the winter season.

  1. 1.Giving Can Save Lives

Winter mortality is a problem that can be easily solved through warm blankets. Timely interventions can break the cycle of winter deaths. 

You can buy blankets yourself and distribute them among the needy or you may share your warmth through the organizations that run drives to help the people on the streets.

Your small offering can really save someone’s life.

  1. Giving Brings Happiness

Giving to others is directly linked with an increased sense of contentment and happiness. Many kinds of research have proved that. 

Experience the pleasure of giving by seeing your money being utilized for a noble cause.

  1. Let’s Make a Healthy World for All 

There is no better gift than offering blankets to the needy during the harsh winter season. Millions of street dwellers experience the bitterness of winter and fall sick. This year, a pandemic has made their situation even more challenging.

A simple blanket can keep them healthy all through the season and this is the right time to serve humanity by donating blankets. 

There cannot be a bigger satisfaction than ensuring good health for those who really need care.

  1. Realize That You Care

Life can get really busy sometimes and we forget to show our gratitude for everything given to us by the Almighty. 

Moreover, due to various indulgences, we hardly get a chance to experience our own caring spirit.

So, whenever you get a chance, just give and see how rewarding it is for you. 

Blanket Donation Drive by Vishwa Jagriti Mission

Every winter, Vishwa Jagriti Mission (VJM), under the guidance of HH Sudhanshuji Maharaj and Dr. Archika Didi organizes blanket donation drives across India. 

The idea is to provide good quality blankets to underprivileged people living on the streets. 

Anyone who wants to be a part of the noble drive can get in touch with VJM and experience the pleasure of giving.

Come, be a part of the drive!
