RAJIV NAYAN AGRAWAL

ARA-----------------On the occasion of *Ashadh Purnima*—marking the birth anniversary of Bhagwan Shri Krishna Dvaipayana Maharshi Vedavyas—a program featuring worship rituals and a spiritual discourse was organized at Shri Hanumatsadan, Friends Colony, under the joint auspices of Shri Sanatan Shaktipeeth Sansthanam and Sanatan-Surasari Seva Nyas. Delivering the discourse, Acharya Bharatbhushan Ji Maharaj, the head of Shri Sanatan Shaktipeeth, stated that seeking refuge in a True Guru (*Sadguru*) is the key to success in life. It is solely through the grace of the True Guru that the ailments and obstacles of worldly existence (*bhava-roga* and *bhava-badha*) are eradicated. The Acharya remarked that Bhagwan Vedavyas rendered a profound service to humanity by showing the path to the welfare of the entire world. Acharyas within his lineage continue to disseminate the 'Ganga of knowledge,' enabling the world to escape vices and misfortune and become a vessel for happiness, peace, and prosperity. He further noted that one can never fully repay the debt owed to one's mother, father, and Guru. On this occasion, prominent devotees—including Sachchidanand Prasad, Vijaya Sinha, Umakant Sharma, Vikas Pandey, Subhash Pandey, Abhishek, Manoj Kunwar, Ganesh Ji Ojha, Rang Ji Singh, Pramod Srivastava, and Ramnarayan Gupta—performed the *Vyas Pujan*, *Panchadev Pujan*, and the worship of the Acharyas, including Shri Hanuman Ji and Bhagwan Adi Shankaracharya Ji.
