Gayatri Parivar program from 10.30 to 1.20 PM

Gayatri Parivar would like to jovially invite you and family to celebrate ‘New Year 2018’ together and

‘Ring in’ the New Year with hearts filled with spirituality. The theme of the program is to “Be Born

Again”, meaning untangle and open, adverse and negative knots (गृनथिया, गाााांठे) formed by us in our

inner body (सूक्षम शरीर), by practicing special meditation (धयान). This meditation is to focus on acquiring

back God gifted qualities of new born babies - Simplicity (सरलता), Faultless (िथनिॆदोश), without Fraud

(छल कपट रथित), without Anger (कृ ोोध रथित) etc., and always in the state of Bliss (परम आनााांद). The

need of the time is to awaken collective consciousness for righteousness, bright future, protection and

nourishment of all during these great moments of change.

SAMOOHIK SATYANARAYAN KATHA on Magha Purnima .

06.30 to 08.00 PM

Magha Purnima is an important day in Hindu calendar. Religious texts describe

the glory of holy bath and austerity observed during Magha month. It is believed

that every single day in month of Magha is special for doing charity work. Magha

Purnima, which is popularly known as Maghi Purnima, is the last and most

important day of Magha Mahina. People perform certain rituals like holy bath,

offering alms, donating cow and Homa at Prayag, the confluence point of the river

Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati, on Maghi Purnima.

During Magha people take early morning bath in the Ganga or in the Yamuna

throughout the month. The daily bathing which starts from Paush Purnima ends

on Magha Purnima. It is believed that all charity work done during this time are

fructified easily. Hence people offer charity to needy according to their capacity. It

is also the last day of Kalpawas, the one month austerity camp put up on the bank

of the river Ganga at Prayag.
