Who Fought the Real Battle?

Swami Sri Atmananda Posted on May 18, 2025 by SevaMay 18, 2025

Omm Namo Bhagavate

For the 16 December satsang at Satyachetana Ashram, Swamiji gave the following question to consider in advance: Lord Krishna and Arjuna, both were at the battlefield. Which of them actually fought the real battle?

Swamiji explains his answer in the below audio excerpt.

Srimad Bhagavatam: Part 11 (Canto 1, Chapters 10, 11, 12)

Omm Namo Bhagavate

As Swamiji selected flowers to offer to Lord Jagannath in the Brahma Kunda at the Gurukulam campus, he explained to the junior Acharya: just take a few flowers from each plant. Not all the flowers. So that the plant remains beautiful. This is a principal of abundance that Swamiji has been sharing for 20 years.

Here is number 11 in Swamiji’s ongoing series of Interactions on the Srimad Bhagavatam, also known as the Bhagavata Mahapurana and Bhagavat Katha. This scripture reveals, through the life of Krishna, the story of God’s incarnations and why he did what he did. This session was recorded in February 2023.

Some devotees feel this is Swamiji’s most powerful series of revelations since the Advanced Course on the Yoga of Bhagavad Gita.

Omm Namo Bhagavate

What’s a nine-letter word that describes the agonizing process every yogi must go through on the Gita path? Swamiji spells it out in this excerpt from an 11 February satsang at Satyachetana Ashram, Tiruvannamalai.

Prakriti’s Signal Received

Omm Namo Bhagavate

“Prakriti sends the signal,” as Swamiji always explains. In this case, when the vision came for a spiritual TV channel, Prakriti sent Rakesh Mohanty Ji, a veteran media executive whose impressive track record includes a startup TV channel that maintains the #1 position in its market.

Rakesh Ji was recently appointed CEO of Satyachetana Odisha projects, and in this 18 March interview, he discusses the plan for the Gyandeep channel and how he came to dedicate his life to the Satyachetana Movement.

Join in the Atharva Veda Mahayajna

Swami Sri Atmananda Posted on March 7, 2025 by SevaMarch 7, 2025

Omm Namo Bhagavate

A special team of Atharva Veda chanters practices with Swamiji at the Gyandeep office in Bhubaneswar on 7 March.

A rare Atharva Veda Mahayajna will be performed from 8-14 March in the village of Kantio Putasahi, in the Dhenkanal district of Odisha, India. In brief, specially trained Veda Acharyas will chant all 6000 mantras of the Atharva Veda, organized by sukta, with fire oblations offered for every mantra.

The purpose of this Mahayajna is to support global harmony and help avoid or minimize the chance of great destruction that may result from natural or man-made causes, given the current world situation. As Swamiji says, “There is no problem for which Veda does not have a solution.”

March 8 was chosen as the start date because it is the day observed by Satyachetana International as World Peace Day.

For maximum effectiveness, a yajna needs widespread support, with offerings from many, not just a few. This Atharva Veda Mahayajna requires enormous financial resources, yet the offerings are coming primarily from ordinary, common people. Raising the funds to conduct such a yajna presents a daunting challenge, and due to the dedication and devotion of the local villagers and their collaborators, the contributions are accumulating as per the established guidelines.

If you’d like to support the Mahayajna, offerings may be sent via PayPal, Zelle, check, and in India, PhonePe. Details here.

To participate from anywhere in the world, anyone who feels for the whole planet and the whole humanity may join. During the days of the yajna, as per India time, from the evening of 8 March until midday in on 14 March, one may do the following:

  1. Collect water from a river, stream, canal, or ocean into a pot, jug or your hands, and offer this water to the sun god three times, each time pouring some of the water back into the flowing water source from where it came. If you do not have a natural water source, fill the pot with tap water and pour it on a tree or a plant in the garden three times while offering it to the sun god. Note that you fill the pot with water only once, and offer a portion of that water each time, for a total of three poured offerings.
  2. While pouring the water, chant the mantra: Om Sri Adityaaya Namaha
  3. After pouring the water three times, pray to the sun god for peace on Earth, for restoring harmony and preventing a global war, as well as mitigating natural disasters. Make sure not to pray for any individual desire.
  4. This can be performed multiple times during the seven-day period, at any time of the day. There must be a gap of at least three hours between each session.
  5. One may also contribute to the World Peace Fund of Satyachetana International.

The aspiration of even a dozen universal beings can produce an effect and neutralize the evil intention of a million. If two or three hundred universal beings do this, it will make an even bigger impact.

All Glory to Veda Mata.
