Chinmayam

To build a new edifice with fresh materials is comparatively easier than to repair an old, neglected palace, ruined by time and disuse. The mother of all religions, Hinduism, has a very firm foundation and a strong edifice, built with an extreme sense of beauty with many artistically built-in surprises. But for more than 1,500 years it has been neglected, abused, and misused, so that in spite of its heavily built charms and artistic proportions, today it stands as an ugly dilapidated Temple of Truth. To repair and rebuild the fallen columns is the work that is now facing the Hindu community. In this ugly edifice, living together packed in its limited living space, the occupants feel no more any pride in their sacred home, nor do they feel any comfort and satisfaction to be under its leaking roofs. It is commodious enough to house all spiritually minded religious people in the whole world when once it is fully repaired and rebuilt. This should demand the cooperation and the involvement

prechyks, chyks, sevak training campers & other devotees gathered together and offered their love and worship to Pujya Gurudev in the form of Paduka puja, bhajans/ kirtans, loud reflections on Gurudev's qualities. Pujya Swami Sureshananda ji performed the paduka puja. Also a small video clipping of Gurudev was screened. The worship ended with prasadam :-)
