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.

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.

There are two kinds of vrittis in our mind, and these two kinds of vrittis are to be studied in yoga. As a matter of fact, the control of these two vrittis is yoga. When we study the nature of these two modifications of the mind, we acquire a sort of control over the mental makeup of the individual in general – the mind-stuff, the chitta, as we call it: yogaḥ cittavṛitti nirodhaḥ. Chitta is the term used by Patanjali for the stuff of the mind, and not merely the conscious activity of the mind. Here in yoga when we use the word 'mind', we do not mean merely the func...
