Jai Jai Jagadeeshwara Shishuvihar Camp
The 2nd Shishuvihar family camp based on Lord Shiva was conducted by Swamini Supriyananda and Swami Swatmananda at Chinmaya Vibhooti, Kolwan and was attended by 37 toddlers, 11 siblings and 88 adults. Swaminiji introduced toddlers to different aspects of Lord Shiva - riding on Nandi, holding the Trishul and Dumroo, Bilva patra having three leaves and Shivaji having three eyes. The children decorated beautiful Shivalingas and did the pooja along with their family members during the validectory session. It was an energetic and divine atmosphere during the morning yoga and chanting sessions, which the toddlers enjoyed with their parents.
Swami Swatmananda conducted sessions for elders, on importance of the Sanskrit language and how it was derived from the sound of Shivji’s dumroo and many more interesting facts. With the magical spell of monsoon and lush green surroundings, the camp was an beautiful experience.
