Seer leads prayers for soldiers

Mysuru: Amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan, Ganapathi Sachchidananda Swami of the Avadhoota Datta Peetham , Mysuru, led heartfelt prayers for the well-being of Indian soldiers. At the ashram's Nada Mantapa, Swami recited verses from the Bhagavad Gita , invoking blessings for those guarding the nation's borders. The occasion coincided with a medal and certificate distribution ceremony organised by the International Gita Foundation for students who excelled in the Bhagavad Gita examination. The event, held over two days, saw participants being recognised for their outstanding performance. Before the distribution, the seer performed a solemn Gita Parayana (recitation of the Bhagavad Gita) and offered prayers to Lord Krishna. He prayed for the safety and strength of Indian soldiers and for the souls of those who recently lost their lives in terrorist attacks, seeking peace for them in afterlife. During the ceremony, he expressed his delight at the International Gita Foundation's initiative and praised the enthusiasm of participants, both young and old. He highlighted that around 5,000 individuals memorised the Bhagavad Gita so far—a significant spiritual milestone. He blessed the youngest achievers—six-year-olds Poorvanch Datta and Sisla Srihitha—who were awarded medals and certificates for passing the exam with distinction. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Cost Of Amusement Park Equipment From Mexico Might Surprise You Amusement Park Equipment | search ads Click Here Undo Equally inspiring was the achievement of the eldest participants, 79-year-olds Bramaramba Sevi and Sujatha, who also excelled in the exam and received accolades.
