Sannyasa Diksha Centenary of Worshipful |
Blessed Atman, Loving Pranams. The sacred day of 1st June 2024 commemorates the Centenary of a great event of supreme signicance for entire humanity, and especially for all the members of the Divine Life Society. This was the blessed day when hundred years ago, Worshipful Gurudev Sri Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj renounced the secular life and embraced the Holy Order of Sannyasa. Had it not been his initiation into Sannyasa, which transformed Dr. Kuppuswamy into Swami Sivananda, the birth of The Divine Life Society and Sivananda Ashram would not have happened. Sri Gurudev’s Sannyasa has indeed proved a Universal Blessing as it has granted the world the boon of a great spiritual guide whose soulelevating teachings have inspired countless spiritual seekers all over the world and shown them the path to Perennial Peace and Bliss. To offer our heartfelt gratitude at the lotus feet of our Adorable Gurudev and also to utilise this sacred occasion to have an in-depth contemplation about His inspiring life and divine teachings, the Headquarters Ashram is organising a series of programmes commencing from 22nd February 2024, which will culminate on the final day of celebration i.e. 1st June 2024. As a part of the Sannyasa Diksha Centenary Celebration, 100 days Collective Mahamantra Chanting by the residents of the Ashram at the Bhajan Hall has been organised from 22nd February to 31st May 2024. The Ashram proposes to organise various other programmes like Veda Parayana, Ramayana Katha and Path, Sri Vishnusahasranama Laksharchana, All India DLS Branches Meet, a three-day Spiritual Seminar and cultural programmes as well. The auspicious day of 1st June 2024 will be marked with grand worship and celebration. With Prem and Om |
