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!!!!

Geeta Jayanti Celebrations

Geeta Jayanti Celebrations

26th November to 13th December 2013 @ Geeta Ashram Malaysia

Image

“sarvopanishado gavo, dogdha gopala nandana, partho vatsah sudhir bhokta, dugdam geetamartam mahat”

All the Upanishads are cows, the milker is Krishna the cowherd Boy, Partha (Arjuna) is the calf, men of intellect are the drinkers, the milk is the supreme nectar of the Geeta

Geeta Jayanti is the birthday of the Bhagavad Geeta – the day Lord Krishna gave this immortal message to Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. This year, Geeta Jayanti falls on 13th December 2013. 

Every year, Geeta Ashram Malaysia celebrates Geeta Jayanti by having an 18 – day programme, with one chapter of the Geeta being recited every day, followed by a discourse on that chapter. 

During this time of the year, the youth help out by ensuring that the Geeta verses and lyrics to the bhajans and aartis are up on the projector so that every devotee is able to follow the satsang. Our younger children take turns to lead in the recitation of chapter 12 and also of our Krishna Aarti at the end of the satsang. Additionally, older children of the ashram also participate by giving the discourse on a particular chapter for some of the days. 

Do join us for Janmashtmi this year at GA Malaysia @ Petaling Jaya!

Satsangs are held 7pm – 9pm followed by dinner every day,
Except Sundays 11am – 1pm followed by lunch.

A New Chapter

ya idam paramam guhyam 
mad-bhaktesv abhidhasyati 
bhaktim mayi param krtva 
mam evaisyaty asamsayah

 

He, whoever, who with supreme adoration to Me shall teach this Supreme Secret to My devotees, he shall attain Me, of this there is no doubt. 

– Bhagavad Geeta, Chap 18, Verse 68 
 
Hari Aum! Namaste! Jai Shree Krishna!
