Swamiji has, in a very systematic and logical manner made out the case for return of the control of Hindu religious place to Hindus. He begins by discussing the basic tenets of Sanatan Dharma, which has no founder or a timeline of establishment.

Swamiji brings much needed clarity on understanding what is Sanatan Dharma and it's relevance to temples.

Swamiji states that a false narrative has been created - that Hindu places of worship are unaccountable and discriminatory - leading to control of temples, by the state, whose function is to regulate, not control as stated by Justice Venkatchellaya. Swamiji thanked Jagadguru Sri Sri Swami Nirmalnathji, Santoshji, Acharya Shri Krishnamaniji, P.Pu. Shringeri Shankaracharyaji, represented by Shri Gaurishankarji, for devoting their precious time, in this endeavor.Watch this masterful Discourse.

Acharya Shri Chinna Jeeyar's, of Shri Ramanuj sampradaya, firm resolve and relentless efforts have borne fruit in the form of a 108 ft. statue of Shri Ramanujacharyaji, in this, the year of his Millennium.

The Statue was unveiled by The Hon. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. Pujya Swamiji Shri Chinna Jeeyar personally welcomed all and conducted a yagna on the occasion.

Acharya Shri Chinna Jeeyarji had a special meeting with The Acharya Sabha members and himself led the Darshan of the statue as well as gave a tour of the complex, providing full details of the project.

The Acharya Sabha provided insights and suggestions on various topics:

1. Respect for all Religions.

2. Protection of the Environment and Organic/Sustainable Agricultural Practices.

3. ShriRamanujacharyaji's contribution to Preservation of Dharma/Cultural/Social systems.

4. Hindu Family/Society structure.

These considered and valuable suggestions will be conveyed to The Prime Minister.

Our Swamiji Swami Paramatmanand Saraswati, Shastri Shri Madhavpriyadasji, Acharya Shri Krushnamaniji, Manniya Mahant Shri Gyananandji, Acharya Avichaldasji, Acharya Manniya Mahant Vishokanandji, Shri Dharayayarji, graced the occasion with their presence alongwith Madhya Pradesh CM Shri Shivrajsingh Chauhan and Sarsanghchalak Shri Mohan Bhagwatji.               Enjoy the celebrations.

Madhya Pradesh Govt. has an ambitious plan to create a Divine and Aesthetically appealing memorial for Sri Adi Shankaracharyaji. Hindu Acharya Sabha had requested CM Sri Shivarajsinghji, during 2016 Ujjain Kumbha Mela to build this memorial. 

Public Awareness program and भूमिपूजन for a 108 ft statue of Adi Shankaracharyaji was performed during 2017/2018. Due to certain political developments project was postponed for a short time. Acharya Sabha- (H.H.Acharya M.M Avadheshanandaji and our Param Pujya Swamiji) have been involved since inception. They both are Board Members also.

A meeting of the Trust was held at Bhopal, in January, which was chaired by CM Sri Shivarajsinghji. Prior to this meeting Param Pujya Swamijis had personal discussions with the CM, he felicitated Param Pujya Swamijis. Broad outlines for the project were discussed & approved by the board. The entire project is estimated to cost around ₹1500/-crores.

Concept details and few pictures of the meet are attached for information…

Pujya Swamiji, presided over the release of “પ્રતિબિંબમ્”- a book on a Sanskrit Play, held on 29^th January at AMA (Ahmedabad Management Association). He said “ઉત્કૃષ્ટકૃતિ, વસ્તુ નું સર્જન ત્યારેજ શક્ય બને છે જ્યારે કર્તા  (રચનાકાર)  ,  સ્વ એટલે કે અંહકારને ભુલીને ઈશ્વર સાથે તાદાત્મ્ય સાધે છે “. When we work according to these principles and understanding the result is of a high quality and well received. Pujya Swamiji felicitated those who had acquired proficiency in Yoga.

A few Glimpses of the proceedings.

 A devotee -&- Committee member of Sivananda Ashram -Amdavad, Sri Ramanbhai & family, have been following a unique tradition for the last 20+ years.

They raise green fodder on a 5 acre farm & on Uttarayan day(14th January) the village Go Matas are allowed to graze on it. This year Param Pujya Swami Paramatmanandji, performed Go Poojan following which the herd was released in the farm. Go Matas were very excited and happy.

This was followed by Satsang. About 400 persons, from around 5, surrounding villages attended and partook Prasad. Sri Nandi (Secretary, Sivananda Ashram) introduced Param Pujya Swamiji. In his talk P.Pu.Swamiji emphasised on Go Seva(Desi Go Mata)-Tapas and Danam in Hindu Culture.

Celebrating Makar Sankrati in a unique fashion.

One more round of अन्नदानम्(food kit distribution) was carried out on the occasion of Uttarayan-on January 13th,2021. 150 families were given ration for one month (up to 5 members per family). Food distribution Project was sponsored by devotees/students from USA and Canada. Here are a few pictures.

P.Pu. Swami Pramatmananda spoke at the Release of the Book “Live Life @360⁰” – A Joyful Journey to Final Destination authored by Shri Bhadresh Nagori. Swamiji explained what the Sanskrut word “Ananda” denotes. Eschewing the English translation (Bliss) he explained that self-acceptance is Ananda. Self-realization and Self-esteem are part and parcel of Ananda. Happiness is here and now. The need to be Objective and maintaining Intellectual Honesty are important. Watch the Video Here.
