New Home for the Lamp of Knowledge
Omm Namo Bhagavate
On 14 November, the Satyachetana Movement inaugurated new offices in Bhubaneswar, Odisha to serve as the home of the Gyandeep project, Satyachetana Odia Journal, and the Odisha Yajna Movement. In total, approximately 1600 square feet of office space is divided between media workstations, executive offices, and a publishing suite, plus the pending buildout of a small recording studio.
This serves as a major upgrade for all projects. Satyachetana Odia Journal was on the verge of outgrowing its space at the original Satyachetana Odisha State Office, while the Odisha Yajna Movement did not have a formal office until now. Of greatest significance—and occupying the most space—is the establishment of the Gyandeep offices. Gyandeep literally means “lamp of knowledge” and is the name of a major broadcast initiative introduced by Swamiji last year.
In brief, Gyandeep will have two areas of focus: Wisdom and Knowledge. The Wisdom department will develop and share spiritual videos, including selections from the vast archive of Swamiji’s interactions and courses, as well as interactive lessons in Veda chanting, pranayam (breath control) and other subjects. The Knowledge department will focus on material learning, with a goal of de-commercializing education. Free and low-cost, on-demand, interactive educational programming will serve various age groups and educational sectors, including preparation for standardized exams.
Gyandeep’s online presence is currently under development, so to be added to the Gyandeep mailing list for updates, write to the Contact page at this site.
