Hari Om!
क्रियते नारायणस्मृतिः ।
Our Beloved Pujya Sri H.H. Nityananda Giri Swamiji attained Maha Samadhi on Saturday, 15th April 2023 at Sri Gnanananda Niketan, Sri Gnanananda Thapovanam (Mesha masa, Krishna paksha, Dasami tithi). A brief write up on life of our Swamiji is given herewith.
Our Sastra says when a Jnani attains Samadhi all the elements in the body merges into the Totality (अत्रैव समविलीयन्ते – Here itself they merge) and He remains as Paramatma here itself (अत्र ब्रह्म समश्नुते – Here He becomes one with Brahman) and also says (ब्रह्मैव सन् ब्रह्माप्येति – being Brahman He attains Brahman), (स ब्रह्मैव न ब्रह्मवित् - He is Brahman alone not a knower of Brahman), (विमुक्तश्च विमुच्यते - The Liberated [Jivanmukta] becomes Liberated [Videhamukta]). Hence Jnani’s Samadhi is called Jeeva Samadhi.
In keeping with our tradition, Pujya Sri H.H. Nityananda Giri Swamiji’s first annual Aradhana will be held on Friday, 3rd May 2024 at Thapovanam. The Aradhana celebrations will begin with Ganapati Pooja on 25th April 2024 followed by Bhagavata Saptaham, Chatur Veda Parayanam, recitation of Ekadasa Rudra Parayanam, Devi Mahatmya Parayanam and Bhajans. The Aradhan will conclude on 3rd May 2024 with Mahaabhishekam at the Samadhi shrine, Annadanam, Tirtha Narayana Puja and finally with distribution of Mahaprasada.
