Hari Om Friend,


The auspicious event of Ashwin Navratra was celebrated with fervour and festivity on all the nine sacred days at Shree Aniruddha Gurukshetram during the month of September. Shraddhavans turned up in large numbers to offer obeisance to Mother Durga. On the first day at the dawn, Shraddhavan volunteers of Shree Aniruddha Gurukshetram performed the sacred ritual of “Mangal Snanam” of Mata Shivgangagauri. She was then worshiped with Kumkum-Haridra, yellow flowers and garlands. Present Shraddhavans continuously chanted the “Shivgangagauri Gayatri Mantra” during the ritual.

Technology has always had a pivotal role to play in furtherance of the activities of the Organisation. This issue of the Newsletter gives a brief overview on the Organisation’s perspective in this regard and the steps taken to stay abreast with the technological developments.

On the auspicious occasion of festival of lights, I wish all my Shraddhavan friends and all our well-wishers a very Happy Diwali and I pray at the Lotus Feet of Sadguru Shree Aniruddha (Bapu) to shower his eternal grace on them and their near and dear ones.

Sunday English Upasana are live streamed on Aniruddha TV (http://www.aniruddha.tv). Shraddhavans can now watch the happenings live directly from their desktops, laptops, smartphones.

Sadguru Shri Aniruddha Bapu strongly believes in the principle of learning while you work and working while you learn. Effective use of cloud computing technology is one such example. One more similar outcome of it is a small server room wherein the internal/intranet based applications related to Organization‘s daily work are managed. The server room uses the virtualization technology for managing the different applications. The server room effectively uses the principle of Jugaad which Sadguru Aniruddha Bapu insists upon.

Shraddhavans can offer their seva in the above mentioned projects.
