On November 13, 2024, over 60 students from Shree Swaminarayan Gurukul International School, Belagola, Near Mysuru, voluntarily embraced the spiritual practice of morning pooja under the guidance of Pujya TirthSwaroop Dasji Swamiji. This significant event occurred at the Saint Ashrama, where students were inspired to integrate devotion into their daily lives. Each student received a short pooja kit from Gurukul to practice at home, reinforcing a commitment to spirituality outside school.
In his address, Swamiji offered invaluable spiritual guidance, emphasizing the importance of regular pooja, mala (chanting), and meditation to connect with God. He interacted closely with the students, teaching them the correct methods and the essence of these rituals. Swamiji encouraged them to practice this daily, highlighting the virtues of dedication and discipline in their spiritual journey.
The students, who practiced short pooja at home, expressed a deep sense of fulfillment and gratitude for Swamiji’s mentorship. Regular spiritual guidance from Swamiji has motivated them to sustain this practice, allowing them to experience peace and personal growth. This adoption of morning pooja represents a significant step in instilling lifelong values of spirituality and devotion among the young minds at Gurukul.
