Divine Teachings in Karanjia (Jan 23-24, 2025)
Karanjia, a place deeply connected with Swamiji's divine mission, witnessed an overwhelming spiritual wave as devotees rejoiced in his presence. The Life Transformation Program commenced with the enchanting Kirtan "Man Bhuli Mat Jaiyo Radhe Rani Ke Charan," creating a devotional aura that captivated every heart. Swamiji delved into the importance of Shraddha (faith) through the story of Janmajay and Ved Vyas, emphasising how unwavering faith leads to spiritual elevation. He also elaborated on the role of Satsang in a seeker's journey and categorised devotees into Jigyansu (curious) and Pipasu (deeply thirsty for divine wisdom), helping them introspect on their own spiritual aspirations.
The second day in Karanjia was marked by a mesmerising Roop Dhyan meditation, where devotees meditated on Yugal Sarkar's Solah Shringar Seva, deeply immersing themselves in Radha Krishna's divine beauty. The Panchamrit Abhishek Seva, a sacred bathing ceremony of Bal Radha and Bal Gopal, filled the air with an aura of divinity. Swamiji's discourse on Karmyog, based on Bhagavad Gita 9.27, beautifully explained the art of selfless action as an offering to the Divine. The Kirtan "Tu Hi Tu Hi To Hai Mera Nandnandan" further elevated the collective devotion, leaving a lasting spiritual imprint on all attendees.
Spiritual Awakening in Rairangpur (Jan 25-26, 2025)
Rairangpur experienced an unprecedented turnout as over 3,000 devotees from nearby villages gathered to hear Swamiji's enlightening pravachan. His discourse on the Science of Mind Management provided invaluable insights into controlling thoughts and emotions, guiding seekers toward inner stability and peace. The blissful vibrations of "Bhaju Giridhar Govind Gopala" Kirtan filled the atmosphere with divine energy, making the evening an unforgettable experience.
The following day, Swamiji visited Basingi Village for a special satsang, where he was greeted with immense reverence. Devotees were deeply moved by his Pad Vyakhya on "Kadamb Ki Daari Jhoole Radha Pyari," unravelling the sweetness of Radha Krishna's pastimes. The discourse on Madanaari Leela highlighted the significance of Bhagwan Shiva's role in burning Kamdev, illustrating how divine love transcends material desires. Swamiji's explanation of the Gopis' selfless love for Krishna during Maharaas left devotees spellbound, reinforcing the essence of unconditional Bhakti. The session concluded with Roop Dhyan and the soul-stirring Kirtan "Teri Kripa Ka Bharosa Bhari Radharani," leaving every heart soaked in divine love.
A Divine Conclusion in Baripada (Jan 27-28, 2025)
The final destination of Swami Mukundananda's first phase of the Odisha tour 2025 was Baripada, where devotees gathered in large numbers to absorb his spiritual wisdom and divine presence. The day began with an energetic Nagar Sankirtan, as the streets came alive with the melodious chanting of Hari Naam, filling the atmosphere with devotion. Swamiji's Life Transformation Program in Baripada focused on Bhagavad Gita 9.22, explaining the importance of surrendering to Krishna without material expectations. He emphasised how Seva (selfless service) purifies the heart and strengthens Bhakti, inspiring devotees to cultivate a mindset of divine service. The evening resonated with devotion as Swamiji led the soul-stirring kirtan "Radhey Govind Govind Radhey," immersing everyone in divine love.
Amidst the serene beauty of Similipal National Park, where only the soothing sounds of flowing rivers and chirping birds filled the air, devotees experienced a soul-enriching morning with Swamiji. The day began under the lush green canopy with a heartfelt Guru Vandana, followed by Swamiji's mesmerising rendition of "Ore Jadugar Shyam Tu Bado Hi Jadugar." In an engaging and interactive session, he posed thought-provoking questions and rewarded devotees with sweet prasadam. The gathering then enjoyed a picnic-style breakfast prasad, basking in the tranquillity of nature.
Swamiji's powerful discourse on "Durlabh Manushya Jeevan" – the rare and precious gift of human life – left everyone introspective and grateful. He elaborated on how human life, bestowed with Gyan Shakti (intellect), should be utilised wisely in the pursuit of true Anand (Bliss), Jeevan (Eternal Life), and Gyan (True Knowledge) instead of chasing the mirage of worldly happiness (Mrig-Trishna). His words stirred a deep realisation within the hearts of the devotees, guiding them towards a higher spiritual purpose.
The spiritually uplifting day culminated in a grand Yugal Sarkar Aarti, where every soul present felt a surge of divine energy. The blissful vibrations of Mahaprasadam Seva filled the atmosphere with gratitude and devotion, marking a perfect conclusion to this sacred journey.
