The Chinmaya Birth Centenary Celebrations which began on a glorious and colourful note a year ago with the unexpected visit of Pujya Guruji Swami Tejomayananda to the Delhi centre on 7th May 2015, culminated most fittingly with a puja and abhishek at Pujya Gurudev’s pratima.
Conducted by Swami Durgeshananada, Acarya Chinmaya Mission Gurgaon, in the presence of beloved ‘Amma’ Swamini Gurupriyananda, the ceremony was like cool shower of grace and blessings. The fragrance of the flowers, the chanting of Vedic mantras and the Shri Chinmaya Ashtottarshata Namavalli filled the atmosphere with divine vibrations.
Bedecked in new saffron robes and fragrant garlands, Pujya Gurudev looked serene and resplendent. The entire experience filled the hearts of the gathered devotees with devotion for their Beloved Master.
Zoe Collington, a young devotee who had been nestled in Pujya Gurudev’s lap as a young child, expressed her devotion for Pujya Gurudev by exhibiting a series of paintings-cum-photographs (in mixed media) featuring Gurudev.
The morning concluded with a breakfast bhandara. The Centenary Celebrations are coming to a close, but devotees and disciples of Pujya Gurudev have certainly been infused with renewed enthusiasm to further expand Gurudev’s vision and continue reaching out to more and more people all over the world.
UNTO HIM OUR BEST
