Religious congregation

As I am typing this post, I derive the joy of viewing Dharma Rakshana Mahothsavam on Sankara TV Channel. Heads of Shree Sankaraa Mutt  (Kanchipuram), Vyaasaraaja Mutt and Ahobila Mutt are the Chief guests in the program. Speakers included the Principal of Central Sanskrit University, New Delhi and Prof Dr V Kamakoti, Director, Indian Institute of Technology, Chennai. Principal of Central Sanskrit University spoke in Samskrit.

Prof Dr V Kamakoti 

Principal, Central Sanskrit University, New Delhi 

Chief Pontiffs of Kanchi Sankara Mutt, Vyaasaraaja Mutt and Ahobila Mutt 

Spectators including highly knowledgeable speakers such as Shree U Ve Venkatesh

The program was like a sacred confluence of three oceans. It reminded the fact that although Adwaithaa, Visishtaa Dwaithaa and Dwaithaa differ in their own philosophies, their goal was one: Dharmaa and it's sustenance.

(The program reminded me of my beloved mother's maternal uncle known as 'Vaasu maamaa'; he was no more when I was born; but I have heard about him. As I mentioned in my previous posts, I inherit my spiritual values from my mother's lineage).

Shree Krishnam Vandhe Jagadh Gurum🙏
