Guru Purnima celebrations were held in the presence of Swami Swatmanandaji. The program began with an invocation, followed by Guru Parampara Paduka Puja. Chanting of 108 names of Shri Veda Vyasa and Pujya Gurudev was done and yajmans performed Paduka Puja. Program highlights included presentations on Guru Parampara by devotees. Five different groups of devotees gave presentations on revered Gurus, beginning with Shri Krishna – our eternal Guru, Shri Veda Vyasa, Adi Sankara, Swami Tapovanji Maharaj and Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayanandaji. Group members presented and shared insightful information on the life and teachings of these Gurus, each one of whose life is an inspiration and source of great strength and motivation for seekers at various stages of spiritual development. Devotees sang bhajans, recited verses and even used the medium of role play to depict and convey the message and teachings of the great Gurus. After the presentation, video clips of Pujya Gurudev were shown, followed by satsang conducted by Swamiji.
