We hope you enjoy this beautiful Bhajan with Pujya Swamiji!...

Guru Purnima is celebrated at the holy time of year in which the monsoons come. The monsoon comes only once a year. The ground and soil are graced only one season a year with the divine flow of rain. However, the Guru is always with us. His grace is always showering upon us. There is only one monsoon season, but if we allow the Guru’s grace into our lives, then every season is the season of the Guru. A guru is one who removes the darkness. He (or, she) is...
As we honour and celebrate our Gurus on Guru Purnima, Pujya Swamiji beautifully shares that "the word guru means one who removes our darkness. Yet it is not merely the darkness of ignorance. It is not simply that we go to our guru with a question, ask him, he answers it and then our confusion is cleared. Rather, the mere presence of the guru in our life removes all darkness – all anger, all pain, all confusion. Their presence emanates so much light, so much love, so much divinity, that every...
Saturday is Guru Purnima, the day on which we offer thanks to our divine Guru, HH Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji - Muniji for His goodness and the gift of enlightenment that He so generously offers us! In the course of the relationship between Guru and Disciple, that gift of enlightenment comes in the form of answers to life's most frequently-asked questions: Who Am I? Am I thoughts? Am I the physical body or something less tangible? Who am I? What is my purpose? Am I my mind? Through the divine inspiration and...
Today we are speaking so much about “immunity boosting” but we must also remember our “humanity” and our “community”. We must help people in need. We must be together. And, we must pray to God to guide us through the challenges of tomorrow - through climate change, through water scarcity, through environmental degradation. We will need His help!...
The message and blessings of HH Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji – Muniji on the festive occasion of Harela are filled with inspiration and motivation, as He so beaufifully urges us to take a pledge to plant more and more trees, and to take care of the ones that are already growing. Since Harela is the Day of Green, it makes a "save the environment" slogan an even more poignant appeal, particularly as this start of the monsoon season is the perfect time to plant trees! "We should celebrate...
During broadcast of Oho Radio & Hill Mail “आस्था का अनादर,नही चाहिये ऐसे सैलानी” Pujya Swmaiji beautifully shares that there is a need to create awareness. "Faith is the fundamental foundation of religious places, and it gives direction to society. So, it is disappointing when people come to drink alcohol on the banks of Mother Ganga. People come to Ganga for meditation, worship and moksha - not to watch people drinking and smoking." This is especially difficult, as Pujya Swamiji shares, because He first found His love for Ganga...
