An extraordinary concept moving across the country, touching lives, opening minds and spreading the ultimate knowledge of the Geeta- indeed, the Geeta Sandesh Vahini has been a Jnana yajna in motion. The Navi Mumbaikars got a chance to host the Vahini from 10th to 17th April, 2017 and tour across all the nodes, viz. Panvel, Kharghar, Koparkhairne, CBD Belapur, Nerul, Airoli, Vashi and Sanpada.
Enthusiastic sevaks and sevikas got a chance to bring the Geeta sandesh to the masses, with more than 4000 visitors to the GSV in 7 days. Explaining the nuances depicted in the panels within the Vahini were 15 lively Chyks and prechyks, to a mesmerized stream of visitors!
This was a perfect example of a leader creating more leaders—under the guidance of Vedji, Vidhuji and the Yuvaveers, the eloquent Chyks bowled over all those who heard them. Language was no barrier, as the narrators adapted to the regional languages as per the need of the audience.
Morning walkers & joggers, Yoga enthusiasts, school students & teachers, Balvihar children & parents, Residential society members, temple goers….everyone got the blessings of Mother Geeta. If Hanumanji was atop Arjuna’s flagstaff in Kurukshetra, He was very much here in Navi Mumbai too, with Hanuman Jayanti celebrated when GSV was here in Navi Mumbai!
Br. Ved Chaitanyaji gave parallel talks to students, teachers and other visitors who had assembled to hear more about this noble cause. For younger children, the Yagnatorium was the U.S.P. of this event. Another attraction was the quiz session for the ones who had viewed the Vahini exhibits. Every visitor to the GSV got a gift to treasure too- the TITI book, Chinmaya Mission information booklet & Activity pamphlet. This was in keeping with Gurudev’s legacy of distributing books as Prasad!
Interspersed through the path were the holy Temples where Geeta chanting was done and Bhajans sung. As the Vahini rolled on, the wheels set in motion, the significance was not lost on Gurudev’s devotees. Were these the wheels of Time or the cycle of Samsaara? Had the Geeta Vahini come to take us to those gates where Gurudev said He would wait for us? Only Gurudev could have made the path so clear…
