Shankaracharya Ji Maharaj Graces Gyan Yug Diwas Celebration in Prayagraj

BHOPAL [Maha Media]: With the divine blessings of Anant Shri Vibhushit Jyotishpeethadheeshwar Jagatguru Shankaracharya Swami Vasudevanand Saraswati Ji Maharaj, and under the able guidance of Ved Vidya Martand Brahmachari Girish Ji, the 108th birthday of His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Ji was celebrated as ‘Age of Enlightenment Day’ (Gyan Yug Diwas) with grandeur and reverence. This event took place at the Maharishi Ashram located on the Sangam Ghat in Prayagraj on Sunday.

The grand celebration of ‘Age of Enlightenment Day’ was honored by the presence and blessings of Shankaracharya Ji Maharaj, along with esteemed Saints, Mahatmas, Vedic scholars, educationists, public representatives, and other distinguished guests. 

On this special day, Shankaracharya Ji Maharaj shared his blessings, noting that today is the birthday of both Swami Vivekananda and Maharshi Ji. Both have represented our Sanatan tradition globally. Brahma embodies truth and knowledge, and He is the essence of everything in this world. Nothing can exist without Him. Maharshi Mahesh Yogi, a great disciple of our Gurudev, shared Gurudev's teachings and knowledge throughout the country. While Vivekananda also took this knowledge abroad, but he was unable to fulfill this mission entirely. Maharshi Ji successfully spread it worldwide through his teachings.

We often have a tendency to forget, even the words of our great leaders, but Maharshi Ji worked hard to share his Gurudev's teachings gained from meditation. We should meditate on our God. We believe that meditating on nothing, or zero, is not important. Zero means nothing, while the soul means everything. Maharishi Ji has established a vast and supportive community dedicated to spiritual growth, and under the leadership of Brahmachari Girish Ji, the important work that Maharishi Ji initiated is being carried on diligently and continuously. 

Shankaracharya Ji Maharaj encouraged everyone to adopt meditation in their lives. He wishes for us to practice meditation and achieve soul realization through it. This is his blessing for us.

In the second session, a seminar was organised with the theme "Establishment of World Peace through Indian Vedic Culture and Traditions." The third session featured devotional songs performed by Ms. Vini Gupta from Bhopal and Mrs. Anuradha Agastya from Delhi. The audience was filled with devotion due to the exceptional presentation of these songs.

Earlier, the main program began with the Puja of Shri Vedic Guru Parmpara and the Paduka of Shankaracharya, following the lighting of a lamp by the honored guests. This was followed by the recitation of the Vedic Shanti Path by Maharishi Vedic Pandits and the honoring of the Vedic scholars.

The Gyan Yug Diwas celebrations are being broadcast live on Ramraj TV. The live telecast is also available on Ramraj TV's YouTube and Facebook channels.
