Chinmaya Mission Mumbai: Hari Om As part of Guru Poornima celebrations Chinmaya Jayam zone’s Geeta doot team organised Paduka Poojas in 4 of the Geeta Chanting participating schools. A special programme was organised in each of these schools wherein a Paduka Pooja for Pujya Gurudev was performed by the school principal and teachers as well as the students were invited to participate. A short talk on Significance of Paduka Pooja was given as an introduction. Students also enjoyed singing Guru Bhajans & performing dance on Guru Vandana. It was a great oppurtunity for the Geeta doot team and the school members to come together and pay their respects & express gratitude to Pujya Gurudev. The school principals were extremely happy to perform the Pooja and receive the Prasad kit which was very much appreciated. ================================================================================= Monday 29, Jul 2024.  05:30.
