Gnana Yajna at Geetha Bhavanam, Madurai..

The Sourashtra Community of Madurai, has a great adoration & devotion to Sri Krishna to name the hall ‘ Geetha Bhavanam’. Aarthy to Sri Krishna is only Geetha Aarthy. With such an ambience, Chapter XVI of Bagavad Geetha was taken as a continuation of ‘Geetha Gnana Yajna’ regularly conducted there.

The simplicity, the sincerity and the spontaneity of the Aacharya, Swami Sivayogananda kept the listener’s heart attached and attuned to the gunas one should possess.

All through the yajna, one could feel the moving rhythms of soft and smooth unfoldment of one’s personality.
