kaunteya pratijanihi, na me bhaktah pranasyati

Know that, for certain, My devotee never perishes.

– Chapter 9, Verse 31

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by flight MH17.

As the world mourns the loss of such precious and innocent lives, let us take a minute to step away from condemnation and hearsay, and shower love and support on everyone impacted by this tragic incident. It is in moments like these where we ought to band together in common effort, pray for strength and hope for the very best.

We hold you in our hearts, MH17.

Happy Teachers’ Day! :D

He who teaches us anything which we knew not

before is undoubtedly to be revered as a master.

                                                          – Samuel Johnson

The Geeta Ashram Youth would like to wish all our teachers a very, very Happy Teachers’ Day! 🙂

We have had many teachers dedicated to teaching us the Bhagavad Geeta.

Our eternal gratitude to Bhagavan Sri Krishna for gifting us the beautiful Bhagavad Geeta – our strength, our answers to life.

Our Guru Swami Hari Harji Maharaj, who made it his sole aim to spread the profound message of the Geeta and for giving us the Geeta Ashram in Malaysia – our hub for knowledge, our home, our family. To Guruma Geeteshwariji, who continues to keep our Guruji’s dream alive.

To all our teachers in Geeta Ashram who continue to inspire us to be better people.

To Aunty Datin Leela Menon and Aunty Shanta Menon, who pioneered our Sunday Classes, where would we be without you?
Our special thanks to Aunty Asha and Uncle Chandru, our current Sunday Class Teachers – who have been hosting our classes for years now. Their dedication knows no bounds as they fulfil the aspirations of our Guruji 🙂

This poem is dedicated to all teachers everywhere :

Thank you, dear teachers, for opening our eyes
to the Bhagavad Geeta,
Life’s most precious prize.

Thank you special teachers, for opening our minds
to Bhagwan Sri Krishna,
And for the answers you help us find.

Thank you cherished teachers, for opening our hearts
to eternal life through prayer,
And for the precious lessons you impart.

HAPPY TEACHERS’ DAY!!!!

Happy Wesak Day!

Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared – Gautama Buddha

Wesak or Vesak, also known as Buddha Purnima, is a holiday observed traditionally by Buddhists. It commemorates the birth, enlightenment (nirvāna), and death  of Gautama Buddha. In Malaysia, the commemoration of these events on Wesak Day usually begins at dawn at Buddhist temples throughout the country. Devotees gather to meditate on the Eight Precepts. Monks in saffron colored robes chant the sutras in unison. A candle procession is the highlight of the celebration, and at the same time, offerings of prayers, joss sticks, and incense, giving food to the needy and donations are also made.

We,  the Youth of Geeta Ashram wish you a very Happy Wesak Day!

The Geeta Ashram Youth would like to take this opportunity to wish ALL MOTHERS a very, very Happy Mothers’ Day <3!

Our Dear Mother, 

You are the one person who selflessly takes care of us,

You are the one person who loves us unconditionally. 

Often times, it may seem as if we take you for granted – but always know, that we would be no where without you. May God Bless You Always!

We love you.
