The Irvine Shakha of the Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh (HSS) celebrated Guru Vandana (Teacher Appreciation Day) on Sunday, May 2, 2010. The event was a huge success with over a dozen teachers attending the event and the total attendee list crossing the three digit mark, beating everyone's expectations.
The event was inaugurated by Swami Bhajanananda Saraswati , of Kali Mandir, lighting a lamp while chanting sacred verses from Hindu scriptures. The lighting of the lamp symbolized removal of the darkness of ignorance by the light of knowledge. This ceremony was followed by a presentation from Gnanashanmugam Elumalai ji, a HSS Karyakarta, on the importance of the Guru. He explained that the word “Guru” is made up of “Gu” – darkness or ignorance – and “Ru” – the remover. Hence, the Guru is someone who removes the ignorance and replaces it with knowledge.

 Hindu
Swayamsevak Sangh USA (HSS) announces its fourth year of an offering
(“yajna”)
of one million Sun Salutations, known as Surya Namaskar, to create
awareness about Yoga and its advantages in achieving a healthy body,
mind
and spirit.
Surya
Namaskar integrates simple Yoga postures
of well-balanced movements in 10-steps that along with easy breathing technique
can provide immense health benefits to both body and mind. Therefore, “Surya
Namaskar Yagna” is also rightly, termed as “Health for Humanity” marathon.
Each
year Hindus worldwide celebrate January 14th as Makar Sankranti – a day that
marks a change of season as the sun enters the sign of Capricorn or
Makar. Makar Sankranti ushers in longer days; thus the festivity
symbolizes sunshine in life. Therefore, to mark this occasion, HSS will
conduct a collective Surya Namaskar Yajna from January 16th to January 31st, 2010. |
