Invitation from Veda Vidya Gurukulam

Morning at the Gurukulam

As you may know, Swamiji’s vision is to continue performing Brahmakunda Yajnas 365 days per year to restore elemental harmony, leading to global peace and prosperity.

One of the challenges in this work is manpower. To ensure the ongoing availability of specially trained Brahmin priests that are proficient in the proper chanting of each of the four Vedas and have expertise in the Yajna procedures, the Veda Vidya Gurukulam was founded to educate ongoing generations of Brahmins. Already, one graduate from the first batch of students is now teaching here as a full-fledged Rig Veda Acharya, and participates in the daily Yajna program.

Running a residential gurukulam is costly, especially one with ongoing daily Yajnas and Pujas. For that reason, support is now invited from all awakened beings that have an interest in universal harmony. Anyone that feels capable is welcome to send an offering. Contributions will help pay for Veda instructors, food, accommodations, kitchen staff and other needs.

Simply informing you about this. There are no expectations.

  1. Contributions from outside India may be sent to the University of Spiritual Research (USR). For details visit: usronline.net/donations
  2. For contributions from within India, please write to USR at usronline.net/contact
  3. Please do not send any funds directly to Swamiji for this purpose.  

For those that haven’t yet had the opportunity to sponsor a Brahmakunda Yajna, that opportunity is also available. Feel free to share this message with those whom you feel may be interested.

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

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.

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

“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.
