The nationwide programme, Shri Vidya Koti Kumkumarchan Mahayagya, began in Goa on Sunday at the Mahalaxmi temple in Panaji. It was launched by Dr Sanjay Mayukh, chief spokesperson and national media co-head, under the guidance of His Holiness Swami Abhishek Brahmachari. Over two days, one crore chants of Shri Lalita Sahasranama will be completed during this event in Goa.
This Mahayagya, held across 23 States so far, aims to seek the blessings of the deities for India’s development and prosperity. Hundreds of Suhasinis and devotees are taking part. The event will continue on June 30 from 8.30 am to 1 pm and from 2 pm to 7 pm at the Mahalaxmi temple.
CM Pramod Sawant attended the programme on Sunday. He expressed his gratitude to Swami Abhishek Brahmachari ji and the team of priests for organising the Mahayagya for the State’s prosperity. Offering his support, Dr Sawant said that the chants would be completed in the presence of priests from South India and Varanasi along with kumkum offerings. “The noble aim of the programme is national progress and Goa’s holistic development, world peace, and welfare of the underprivileged.”
Dr Sanjay Mayukh thanked Dr Sawant for attending and expressed his happiness that the Chief Minister supported the Mahayagya, which is being held for world peace.
Swami Abhishek Brahmachari ji also addressed the gathering and thanked Dr Pramod Sawant for his support during their meeting at the Chief Minister’s residence, which is also named ‘Mahalaxmi’. Those present included industrialist Shrinivas Dempo, trustees of the Shree Mahalaxmi Temple, and organiser Rohit Kumar Singh.
So far, this Mahayagya has been conducted in 23 cities across India under Swami Abhishek Brahmachari ji’s guidance. Swamiji has taken a vow to connect the younger generation with Sanatan Dharma from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and continues to work tirelessly to promote these values across the country.
