30 June, the auspicious day of Swami Tejomayanandaji’s birthday was an inspiring evening for the New Delhi Chinmaya Family. Swami Nikhilanandaji addressed us on how blessed and grateful everyone felt, and conducted a special Paduka Pooja. Thereafter, Parveen Bahl, enthralled the audience with her melodious bhajans especially selected for the occasion. The delightful video, that followed, was a lecture by Guruji on the Ramayana. In his simple, yet profound style, Swami Tejomayananda explained Sage Valmiki’s thought-provoking answer to Lord Rama question regarding a suitable place for him to stay during his exile.
The grand finale was a unique video clip of rare photographs of Guruji with Swami Chinmayananda as the backdrop to a moving and lyrical ode sung by Pramodini Rao, dedicated to Pujya Guruji on the occasion of his birthday. All in all, a wonderful celebration!
