6th Decennial Meet & Ammaji’s 80th birthday- A Grand Success

Namaste and thank you everyone for making the 6th Decennial Meet and Ammaji’s 80th birthday such a resounding success.

We were indeed blessed by Param Pujya Swamiji and Ammaji in their divine grace that enabled all the 10 days and 15 events to proceed and be completed successfully without any major hurdles. We offer the entire event at their golden feet as our Guru Dakshina. Prasadha Phala Siddirasthu!

First and foremost I thank “Chinna Ammaji” Dhivya Priya Bhavanani for her meticulous planning and organizational skill for bringing the whole team together. Her commitment to the Guru Parampara moves me deeply. To have Anandraj join us enthusiastically for the latter part of the events after concluding his Taekwondo Nationals duty was a Divine blessing and reminded me that this illustrious tradition is indeed in safe hands with both of them.

The entire team of Event Coordinators and volunteers deserve special mention for their commitment and dedication that contributed to everyone feeling a sense of Sukham and Anandam after each and every event.

I place on record our gratitude to Padma Bhushan Shri VP Dhananjayan and Smt Shanta Dhananjayan for gracing us during the International Conference and being an embodiment of the true essence of Natyam as a Sampoorna Yogam. They were the divine manifestation of Parvati Parameshvara indeed in our eyes. We also thank our dear Yogaratna Prof Madanmohan and other eminent speakers who took time to be with us during the event.

It was a loving reminder of the glorious past when all our distinguished alumni and past students of Sri Kambaliswamy Yoga and Fine Arts Program, ICYER & Yoganjali Natyalayam welcomed Ammaji to the Sri Kambaliswamy Madam for her first visit in nearly three years. She was overjoyed to receive their warmth and love and then was abundantly overjoyed to watch them perform on the evening of her birthday.

The magnificent Homam by our respected Sivacharya Raja Shastrigal and the poetic blessings of Thamizhmamani Pulavar Pattabiramanar sanctified the entire Ashram with our beloved Ammaji being worshipfully bathed in the Gangajal by all devotees.

The Ashram was full to the brim with our dearest Gitananda Yoga Parivaar from so many counties and states in Bharat brought a truly International flavor to the festivities that had sumptuous meals, empowering Yoga sessions by senior mentors, enlightening discourses by eminent speakers, Best Youth and Child competitions, multiple cultural performances, an invigorating bonfire evening, Pujas at the Madam, and birthday parties for those born in August-September with fun and frolic manifesting throughout.

May we all be blessed and be a blessing to the world.
