Hari Om!

Vivekachudamani (verse 37) says:

शान्ता महान्तो निवसन्ति सन्तो , वसन्तवल्लोकहितं चरन्तः ।
तीर्णाः स्वयं भीमभवार्णवं जनान् अहेतुनान् यानपि तारयन्तः ॥ ३७ ॥

śāntā mahānto nivasanti santo vasantavallokahitaṃ carantaḥ |
tīrṇāḥ svayaṃ bhīmabhavārṇavaṃ janān ahetunān yānapi tārayantaḥ || 37 |I

There are good souls, calm and magnanimous, who do good to others as does the spring, and who, having themselves crossed this dreadful ocean of birth and death, help others also to cross the same, without any motive whatsoever.

Do not miss the opportunity of spending a day with our Brahmacharini Jyotiji for the "Vasanta Ramanam" camp during this spring season on Saturday, Mar 11th from 10.00 AM to 5.00 PM. Program highlights include -Satsang, Yoga, Meditation, Hands-on learning experience, games, and much more. Lunch and snacks will be provided.

The camp is limited to the first 25 families.
