Pujya Swami Swaroopananda ji’s Yajna at Singapore
What an incredible Yagna Singapore hosted for Pujya Swami Swaroopananda from March 13-17, 2024.
Evening talks were on Gita Ch 9 – The Great Secret. Swamiji so carefully and with so much enthusiasm unravelled the confidential message by Shri Krishna to all… The message of Love.
Morning classes were on Adi Shankaracharya’s Pratah Smarami. Swamiji in his gentle voice made us discover the transformative power of our thoughts in the early hours with meditation that lifted us to a higher dimension of Consciousness.
Our total gratitude to Pujya Swamiji, who so patiently spends time for all who want to explore their Inner Self.
On the 13th evening, the Yajna was Inaugurated by our very special guests – The Chairman of the Hindu Endowment Board, Shri Rajan Krishnan and Chairman of the Hindu Advisory Board Shri Sengkuttuvan, who lit the inaugural lamp along with Pujya Swami ji, Swami Avyayananda and President of Chinmaya Seva Centre Shri Chandru Bharwani.
In Swami Avyayananda’s presence and guidance, the sevaks and sevikas worked devotedly in the spirit of Sacrifice and Seva, to ensure the Yajna was a great success.
