Hari OM!

Mother’s day always has been a big day of celebrations at Chinmaya Haridwar! We celebrate the graduation of our 12th graders on that day with a traditional Paduka Pooja conducted by them to honor and celebrate Pujya Gurudev’s birthday. Please come and participate in the festivities and bless our graduates. Most of them are “lifers” of our Balavihar, listen to their testimonies on how Balavihar education helped in their personality development. This is followed by lunch cooked and served by our men in honor of their wives and mothers because it is Mother’s day!

The puja of the Guru’s sandals is an expression of our devotion to the Truth that Gurudev symbolized. A Guru stands on his sandals (padukas) and also on the strength of his wisdom. So traditionally the worship of guru-paduka has been an adoration of spiritual wisdom. Paduka Puja is an effective sadhana (spiritual practice) to purify our minds.

Please RSVP below. Please feel free to bring your family and friends with accurate RSVP numbers.

Love is the heart of religions, the theme of all classical works of art and literature, the song of all devotees. Scientists know only what love does not what love is.
– Swami Chinmayananda

Hari OM!

Devotional Singing (Bhajans) and Namasmarana (repetition of the Divine name) have often been prescribed by eminent divine personalities and true spiritual leaders as an age-old tool for spiritual, mental, and emotional upliftment. In short, an end result is an act of purification to one’s being and surroundings.

If you are our Bala vihar participant and you or your child would like to sing Bhajans, here is the perfect opportunity, during our assembly! The bhajan singing slot is from 9:20 to-9:30am. Any devotional song, in any language, can be sung as long as all can sing along. Please prepare bhajan(s) to be sung in an assigned 10 minutes duration. You will need to be in the hall (or login to zoom) by 9:15 am. The lyrics of the bhajan need to reach our AV coordinators by Friday of the preceding week at the latest.
