May 20, 2025 – Jyothy and Ajit Kamath‘s anniversary

On the auspicious occasion of their wedding anniversary, Smt. Jyothy Kamath and Shri. Ajit Kamath expressed their gratitude through a Sadhu Bhandara at Vishvamitra Gurukulam.

The gathering was met with profound appreciation. The sadhus, embodying divine wisdom, received the offering with blessings, prayers, and heartfelt wishes for the couple’s continued prosperity. As the sacred chants echoed through the Himalayas, the Bhandara became a symbol of pure devotion, reinforcing the values of giving and gratitude. The Kamaths’ noble act stands as an inspiration, reminding us that selfless offerings lead to spiritual fulfillment and divine grace.

May 27, 2025 – Raghav Bharghav’s Nakshatra Birthday

With heartfelt devotion, another Sadhu Bhandara was held on May 27, 2025, generously sponsored by Shri Yaswant Bharghav and his esteemed family on Sri Raghav Bharghav’s Nakshatra Birthday. This sacred event celebrated tradition, communal harmony, and spiritual elevation, bringing together sages, devotees, and seekers in a profound exchange of blessings.

The gracious act of serving sadhu became a moment of spiritual enrichment, reinforcing the importance of sustaining those dedicated to meditation and scriptural study. The sadhus blessed the Bharghav family, sharing their prayers and wisdom, further strengthening the connection between householders and renunciants.

The Importance of Sadhu Bhandara at Vishvamitra Gurukulam

The tradition of Sadhu Bhandara is more than an act of charity—it is a sacred offering, symbolizing respect and gratitude towards those who embody the essence of Vedic wisdom and spiritual austerity. Hosting such events at Vishvamitra Gurukulam holds profound significance due to:

• Upholding the Guru-Shishya Tradition – Strengthening the bond between seekers and enlightened sages.
• Spiritual Service (Seva) – Nourishing ascetics fosters humility and compassion.
• Divine Blessings – Serving sadhus is believed to bring prosperity and spiritual elevation.
• Preserving Ancient Wisdom – Supporting renunciants ensures the continuity of sacred teachings.
• Fostering Community Harmony – Encouraging selflessness and unity in spiritual practice.

The Sadhu Bhandaras held at Vishvamitra Gurukulam in May 2025 stand as testaments to devotion, embodying the principles of service, gratitude, and spiritual interconnectedness. Through the Kamath and Bharghav families’ offerings, the tradition flourished, strengthening the spiritual fabric of Uttarkashi and beyond.

In the morning, before the inauguration ceremony, Swamiji performed a Puja in Swami Dayananda Saraswati Adhishtanam. This was done with great devotion and reverence, as a mark of respect to his guru. The inauguration ceremony began with a puja to the Goddess Lalita Devi by Swamiji, followed by a Vastu puja. Swami Suddhananda ji cut the ribbon at the entrance of the ashram completing the inauguration ceremony. After the inauguration ceremony, Purna Kumbha was offered to the Swamijis present, after which Punyajalam ceremony was felicitated by Swami SakshatKripananda ji maharaj. The entire ashram was decorated with flowers and other adornments for the occasion. 

After the ceremony, the ashram conducted a Bhandara that was graced by all the Swamijis. There was appreciation from everyone for the arrangements made and the availability of sufficient rooms for Swamiji and students to stay in the Rishikesh ashram when needed. The event was successful, thanks to the tireless efforts of the staff (Avinash, Ranjan and Jai Prakash), along with contributions from Ajit and Jyothi Kamath.
