Practice of *Brahmacharyam (*Self- Restraint): 2.5. Swami Sivananda.
Chinmaya International Foundation (CIF): Hari Om. In the tranquil setting of Adi Sankara Nilayam, the Chinmaya Mission Kolkata study group of 52 campers, accompanied by Br. Diwakar Chaitanya, had a deeply enriching retreat from 9 to 12 September 2024 on the Tapovan Shatkam. Tapovan Shatkam is a melodious composition that summarises Upanishadic Wisdom in six verses as a hymn to our Param Guru Sri Swami Tapovan Maharaj. The camp was facilitated by Br. Ved Chaitanya from CIF and Br. Diwakar Chaitanya from Chinmaya Mission Kolkata. Participants had the opportunity to attend live sessions of the Joyful Living webinar, engage in soulful bhajans, offer Chuttuvilakku (lighting 1008 oil-lamps around the temple) at the Chinmaya Swayambhu Ayyappa Temple and partake in meditative sessions. Overall, the retreat was a celebration of spirituality and personal growth, leaving everyone uplifted and inspired. ==============================================================================...
