Vasant Panchami Parva

  
   An Occasion for Rejoicing and Renewed Commitment - Gayatri Parivar celebrates the Vasant Panchami as a spiritual birthday (Atma Bodha Divas / Adhyatmik Janm Divas) of its founder Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya. 

 

  
On the auspicious day of Vasant Panchami festival, January 18, 1926, a guru by the name of Swami Sarveshvaranand Ji – a great Himalayan yogi – appeared before him in astral body from the flame of the Dipaka (lamp) during his Gayatri worship. This sparked the revelation of the divine origin and purpose of his life and bestowed upon him with the grace and guidance of his guru. Now a days that lamp called AKHAND JYOTI is lit continuously since then and is enshrined at Shantikunj, Haridwar at Present.


The next 24 years of his life were devoted to 24 Mahapurashcharanas –– each consisting of the rhythmic recitation (japa) of 2.4 million Gayatri Mantra with strictest of disciplines. There is no parallel to this kind of sadhana. At the same time, he also whole heartedly participated in the freedom struggle of India under the inspiring guidance of Mahatma Gandhi, while continuing with his altruistic activities for the good of the society and attending to the familial duties.


Vasant Parva marks the advent of spring – surging forth of vibrant life in nature; which was lying dormant during the chilly, cold and constrictive winter. With the coming of spring the fields turn yellow with the blossoming mustard crop. The whole of nature is filled with exuberant life and laughter. In the cycles of nature’s moods the joy and warmth of spring follow the bone breaking shivering cold of the winter. Nature expresses this joy in the form of multihued flowers. Advent of Vasant is a significant milestone in the cyclic journey of nature emerging from the drabness and darkness of winter to the dawn of spring.


Vasant Parva is of special significance to Gayatri Pariwar. This is the holy day of Self-realization by our Guru Satta Poojya Pandit Sriram Sharma Acharya on Vasant Parva of 1926 and we have been celebrating it as the Foundation Day of the Mission for the last Several Years.
