BHOPAL [Maha Media]: The "Deepawali Gyan Prakash Satsang" was held at the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Institute in Bhopal. Brahmachari Girish Ji, Chairman of Maharishi Educational Institutions Group, began the program by lighting a lamp. 

Addressing the gathering, Brahmachari Girish Ji said, "When we talk about society, it always includes the global family. Nowadays, people's lives are not what they should be. It is the need of the hour to purify and refine people's consciousness. Today, everyone talks about the different levels of the brain and the mind. However, people do not know the difference between the mind and the brain. The mind is software, while the brain is hardware. At the base of the mind is consciousness, and at the base of consciousness is the soul."

Brahmachari Girish Ji explained that to succeed in any area of life, we must connect with our soul. He criticized the education system for being too theoretical and lacking practical application, especially regarding Sadhana. He pointed out that Maharishi Vidya Mandir schools teach at a higher level of consciousness rather than simply providing book knowledge. He expressed concern that it is troubling if someone with a PhD does not even know the first verse of the Rigveda or Sandhya Vandana.

Brahmachari Ji related Maharishi Ji's teachings, noting that they built their knowledge community through the blessings of the Guru. He urged everyone to practice the techniques taught by Maharishi Ji to help reduce stress in the world. He mentioned that the technology of Transcendental Meditation is available to everyone. While many people focus on Asanas and Yoga, he believes not enough attention is given to knowledge. Maharishi Ji established 3,000 centers worldwide, all named Ashtanga Yoga Centers.

Brahmachari Girish Ji said we want to bring together 10,000 Sadhaks to help make the world a better place. These Sadhaks will practice Yogic Flying, Transcendental Meditation, and Siddhi Sutra while following Vedic routines in one location. Brahmachari Girish Ji invited everyone present to support the Maharishi Institute's initiative and to join others who are interested in our program. Together, we can create a community that promotes peace and greater awareness for everyone.

Brahmachari Ji also raised concerns about the general lack of health awareness and announced a campaign to educate people about this issue. He launched the Mahaswasthya Abhiyan to promote health awareness. The magazine Ojasvi will help spread this message to a wider audience, focusing on Sadhana.

Mr. Aseem Shrivastava, Principal Chief Conservator of Forests in Madhya Pradesh, shared his thoughts during the Satsang. He stressed that people face many challenges that affect their lives. He called for urgent efforts to conserve trees, forest land, and wildlife, while also reducing carbon emissions and promoting tree planting.

BHOPAL [Maha Media]: "The world is full of stress; the reason for this is explained in detail in our Vedic scriptures and Ayurveda. ' Pragyapradh' or mistake of intellect means doing wrong things despite knowledge. ‘Pragyapradh’ is a violation of the law of nature. No matter our intentions, we will face consequences for this offense. The ultimate reality of life is ‘Moksh’. All our deeds should be done in the direction of salvation, only then will our life be meaningful, otherwise all are useless. We are all connected to the Vedic Guru tradition, so we worship our Gurus daily and express our gratitude to them. We ask them to guide us towards salvation, give meaning to our lives, and help us attain salvation." The above thoughts were expressed by the Hon’ble Chairman of Maharishi Group of Educational Institutions, Ved Vidya Martand, Brahmachari Dr. Girish Ji, in a celebration organised to commemorate the International Day of Peace in the cultural hall of Maharishi Centre For Educational Excellence (MCEE), National Camp Office of Maharishi Vidya Mandir Schools at Lambakheda in Bhopal on Saturday. 

Brahmachari Girish Ji urged the audience to join the World Peace Movement established by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Ji. He stressed that there is still much work to be done in the future. We have the technology, means, resources, and time, but we need all your support. You should join this movement and help educate people about consciousness, as it is our duty as Sanatani. Invincibility and peace are in Transcendental Meditation.  Peace is not outside the tree but in its roots, it is in consciousness. If we want to achieve peace at every level, we must stop the Pragyapradh. When this stops, we will be able to experience consciousness through Transcendental Meditation. By diving into this ocean of existence and crossing it, we will be able to achieve Moksha (salvation), which is the ultimate goal of our lives.  ‘Moksh’ can be achieved only by Transcendental Meditation. 

Earlier, the program began with the Shri Guru Parampara Poojan and Swasti Vachan performed by Vedic Pandits.

NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: Kurma Jayanti is celebrated on the full moon day of Vaishakh month. This time this festival will be celebrated on 23rd May, Thursday.

The story behind this festival goes that Lord Vishnu took the form of Kurma to help the gods and demons in the churning of the ocean. He is also called the Kachhapa Avatar. In the churning of the ocean, fourteen gems including Kalkoot poison, nectar and Goddess Lakshmi were obtained. According to Narasimha Purana, Kurmaavatar is the second incarnation of Lord Vishnu, while according to Bhagavata Purana he is the eleventh incarnation of Lord Vishnu.

Kurma incarnation took place for churning the ocean
According to the legend, once the gods became very proud of their power when Maharishi Durvasa had gifted a garland of Parijat flowers to Indra. Out of arrogance, Indra placed the garland on the head of the elephant Airavata. Seeing this, the sage got angry at Indra and he cursed the gods to become godless and destroyed their happiness and prosperity. 

Due to the power and influence of the curse, Lakshmi disappeared into the sea and all the splendor of the Sur-Asur world was destroyed. Saddened by this incident, Indra took refuge in Lord Vishnu. Lord Vishnu asked Indra to churn the ocean along with the gods and demons. Then as per the orders of Lord Vishnu, the demons and gods got ready to churn the ocean. For this, Mandarachal mountain was made a churner and Nagraj Vasuki was made the rope.

The gods and demons threw Mandarachal into the sea and started churning it, but since the mountain had no base, it started sinking into the sea. Seeing this, Lord Vishnu took the form of a huge Kurma (tortoise) and placed the Mandarachal mountain on his back and placed it in the sea. After this the mountain started rotating rapidly and the churning of the ocean was completed.

Importance of Kurma Avatar Jayanti
The scriptures give a lot of importance to this day. According to belief, starting construction related work from this day is considered very auspicious. On the occasion of Kurma Jayanti, Vaastu defects can be removed from the house and this is the best time for worshiping in the new house, land etc. and bad Vaastu can be changed into auspicious one.

When is Kurma Jayanti of Vaishakh month?
This year Kurma Jayanti will be celebrated on Thursday, 23rd May. According to religious beliefs devotees worship Lord Vishnu with all the rituals. By worshiping Lord Vishnu on Thursday, all the wishes of the devottes are fulfilled. Let us fins out what to do on this day to get the blessings of Lord Vishnu.

Do these measures on Kurma Jayanti
* The day of Kurma Jayanti is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, therefore, on this day, one should worship Lord Vishnu as per the rituals. Along with the worship of Lord Vishnu, there is also a tradition of worshiping Goddess Lakshmi.
