Pune – Chennai Dharmayatra 2025

---

Pujya Gurudevshri embarked on a week-long dharmayatra to satisfy the spiritual thirst of the aspirants of Pune and Chennai.

En route Pune, on January 28, Pujya Gurudevshri graced the Khopoli farmhouse of Sharnarpit Hiten and Bijal Mehta. Devotion soared as those present immersed in bhakti before the magnificently lit idol of Param Krupalu Dev. The hosts received the sacred honour of worshipping the Master’s revered feet through Charanpakshal.

Pune, a city where history echoes through its ancient establishments, knowledge thrives in its esteemed institutions and devotion pulses in myriad hearts, is a unique blend of tradition and modernity. It stands as a beacon of culture, intellect, and spiritual enlightenment. Into this vibrant city arrived Pujya Gurudevshri, extending His boundless grace to the devotees and new seekers alike. He was warmly hosted by Vikas-Sangeeta Lalwani, who welcomed Him with immense devotion.

Pujya Gurudevshri guided aspirants on the inner journey, delivering three enlightening discourses highlighting the transformative power of listening to the wise, contemplating upon their words, and integrating the insights into one’s spiritual practice. The discourse series was attended by notable personalities, including Dr Abhay Firodia, Chairman of Force Motors; Shri Subhash Runwal, Founder and Chairman of Runwal Group and Shri Vijay Bhandari, President of JITO Apex International. Pujya Gurudevshri blessed the dignitaries with mementos, while JITO Pune members felicitated Him with affection and admiration. A mesmerising sound bath and chanting meditation session enveloped the audience in serenity, fostering deep spiritual connections. The launch of the Sound Bath Meditation App was received with joy.

Throughout the Pune dharmayatra, seekers from diverse backgrounds found themselves uplifted in the divine presence of Pujya Gurudevshri. A group of dedicated doctors from the MediJain Pune Group experienced spiritual renewal during an insightful Udghosh at the Pune Spiritual Centre. The session included a peaceful meditation, followed by an enriching dialogue that deepened their spiritual understanding.

Pujya Gurudevshri had an amiable interaction with Didi Krishna Kumari, the Spiritual Leader of the Sadhu Vaswani Mission. Their rendezvous radiated mutual respect and cordiality, signifying the warm relations between the two spiritual organisations.

Atmarpit Nemiji’s thoughtfully designed games imparted invaluable lessons of wisdom and joy. The retreat’s energy soared when youth performed an electrifying beat boxing and rap session, which sparked enthusiasm in everyone. A powerful skit on Shri Atmasiddhi Shastra compellingly presented its eternal teachings, followed by heartfelt sharings from devotees about the meaningful impact the scripture has had on their lives. The retreat also celebrated a monumental achievement – 20 glorious years of Shrimad Rajchandra Divinetouch at Pune, a testament to a legacy of spiritual growth and steadfast devotion.

In recognition of their invaluable contribution, the entire family was warmly felicitated, receiving blessings, a certificate, and a memento from the Master.
