MONDAY 22ND JULY 2013
Vyasa Puja was very well celebrated at Niketan. In South India, Vyasa Puja is the sacred day on which homage is paid to the Guru Parampara in a traditional manner. It is also celebrated as Guru Purnima in various Ashrams.
Vyasa Puja is of particular importance to us at Sri Gnanananda Niketan, as we are dedicated to the study of Adhyatma Vidya, and therefore to the service of Brahma Vidya tradition and Sannyasins
It also marks the commencement of Chaturmasya, a period of retreat for Sannyasins.
The puja was performed by Swami Nityananda Giri assisted by one Yajur Veda Pundit and two Rig Veda Pundits in an elaborate manner.
