Divine Blessings & Vartaman Diksha By Pujya Mahant Swamiji | Shree Swaminarayan Gurukul International School

🌸 Divine Blessings & Vartaman Diksha by Pujya Mahant Swamiji
~~~

With hearts full of joy and reverence, the entire Shree Swaminarayan Gurukul Jadcherla campus came alive with divine energy on 23rd June 2025 as Pujya Mahant Swamiji graced the premises with His divine presence. Saints, students, and staff gathered in devotion to welcome Swamiji, whose arrival marked a spiritually transformative day filled with blessings, bhakti, and inspiration.

🪔 Blessing Assembly – Words of Wisdom, Waves of Grace
A grand Blessing Assembly was held in the presence of Swamiji, where He showered blessings on all the students and staff. Swamiji praised the achievements of the Gurukul family across academics, spirituality, and sports, and blessed them for even greater success in the future. Students and staff offered their handwritten Mantralekhan sheets (Mahamantra: “Swaminarayan Swaminarayan…”) as a token of their devotion.
• Swamiji, in return, blessed every soul present with a divine smile and personally distributed Laddu Prasad, making the moment blissful and memorable for all.

🕉️ Vartaman Diksha – A Sacred Initiation into Spirituality
One of the most sacred highlights of the day was the Vartaman Diksha Ceremony, a soul-purifying ritual marking the beginning of a spiritual journey. Pujya Mahant Swamiji himself conducted the ceremony, offering blessings and initiating 479 students:
📘 134 students from Day School
📘 345 students from the Hostel Block

As part of this auspicious ceremony, sacred water was gently poured on the hands of each student by Swamiji, symbolizing the washing away of past impurities. The students were then led to take the Panch Vartamans, the five vows that guide a life rooted in purity and discipline:
1️⃣ Never consume alcohol.
2️⃣ Never consume non-vegetarian food.
3️⃣ Never steal—under any circumstances.
4️⃣ Should not commit Adultery.
5️⃣ Do not consume impure food.

📜 Vartaman Diksha Mantra:
‘काल माया पाप कर्म यमदूत भयादहम्,
स्वामिनारायणं देवं प्रपन्नोऽस्मि स पातु माम्।’
I take refuge in Bhagwan Swaminarayan. May He liberate me from the fear of Kal (Time), Maya (Illusion), Sin, Karma, Yamadut (Agents of Death), and Evil. May He protect me.

The Prayer Hall echoed with the sound of Vedic mantras, divine music, and the sacred ambiance of surrender and transformation. It was a turning point for every student—igniting faith, values, and commitment to a spiritual path under the blessings of a living saint.

We express our heartfelt gratitude to Pujya Mahant Swamiji for transforming this day into a sacred milestone.
His blessings have inspired our students and staff to rise higher in character, culture, and consciousness.
