Title:

NITHYANANDA GURUKUL Inauguration

Description:

On 2 nd October 2006, His Divine Holiness Bhagavan Nithyananda Paramashivam (HDH) inaugurated the Nithyananda Gurukul at the ashram in Bangalore. 26 children were admitted into the Gurukul and initiated by Swamiji himself. The day coincided with Vijayadasami, that year.

He declared: I enjoyed a wonderful spiritual incubator in Arunachala, my birthplace, during my childhood. I experienced galloping intelligence in the inner and outer worlds in the wonderful ambiance created by it. My goal now is to offer the same ambiance to children through Nithyananda Gurukul, the same intense atmosphere, so they may experience what I experienced.

HDH performed Vidyaarti homa, a fire ritual before start of education and initiated each child with yajnopavitha (sacred white thread symbolizing the connection between man and Existence) and the Gayatri chant (chant to invoke the Existential Energy to bless one with the Supreme intelligence which is the Energy itself).
