“Guru Purnima is not a day set aside for the Guru. The Guru does not have any special day. It is a day for the disciple. Every disciple must inquire every day if disciplehood has awakened within. For one who has awakened this disciplehood, everyday becomes Guru Purnima.” – AMMA
This Guru Purnima, Amriteswari Society Singapore will be holding in-person programmes on Wednesday, 13 July at the Centre (3 Hindoo Road). Please register for the programmes HERE.
We will also be engaging in various Seva activities on Wednesday, 13 July and Sunday, 17 July. Sign up for the various seva activities HERE.
The morning programme will commence at 7 AM with an auspicious Maha Ganapathy Homam. As per tradition, we will recite the Shri Ganesha Atharvashirsha Mantra during the Homam, to seek the blessings of Lord Ganapathy to remove any obstacles in our way as we resume our activities in the Centre. This will be followed by Guru Paduka Puja, Prasad, and a traditional Archana to our beloved Amma with the chanting of the most sacred Shri Lalitha Sahasranamavali.
