At Shree Swaminarayan Gurukul, Vijayawada, the presence of Pujya Mahant Swamiji always brings immense joy and spiritual upliftment to all the students and staff. Recently, we were blessed to have Pujya Mahant Swamiji with us for a special occasion, which made our days memorable and our nights even more delightful. As a mark of love, devotion, and togetherness, two Rasois were organised — one on the first night and the other on the following night. Both Rasois turned out to be heartwarming experiences for everyone present.
The Rasoi is not just about food; it is an expression of care, unity, and the traditional values of sharing and serving that our Gurukul stands for. Under the guidance and blessings of Pujya Mahant Swamiji, the preparation of the Rasoi was done with utmost devotion and enthusiasm. The kitchen team and students came together to help in various ways, from cutting vegetables to arranging the dining area neatly and making sure every little detail reflected the values of our Gurukul.
As the Rasoi began, the aroma of the delicious dishes filled the entire campus. Everyone gathered with great excitement, and the joy on the faces of the students was truly heart-touching. The menu was carefully planned, offering a variety of tasty and wholesome items that everyone enjoyed wholeheartedly. The Rasoi was served in the traditional way, with love and respect. Pujya Mahant Swamiji’s presence made the atmosphere divine; his blessings and occasional words of wisdom added spiritual flavour to the tasty meals.
After the Rasoi, Swamiji interacted with the students, asking about their studies, well-being, and experiences. This personal touch strengthened the bond between the students and Swamiji, making them feel valued and cared for. The second night’s Rasoi was equally delightful. The students felt lucky to have such an opportunity to sit together, share food, and feel the warmth of our Gurukul family under the divine blessings of Swamiji.
These Rasois not only satisfied our hunger but also nourished our hearts with love, unity, and devotion. The memories of these nights will remain with us for a long time, reminding us of the joy of togetherness and the importance of gratitude and humility. Truly, such blessed moments make Gurukul life special and fulfilling.
