Concluding Function of 4-day Retreat
in Vanaprastha Ashram, on 3rd December 2011

Mr. Dinesh Kumar of the NGO "Srejan", along with the Chief Guest,
Shri Swami Vishveshwarananda, on the dais.
"Srejan" is a large social Organisation with a wide network, headed by Shri Dinesh Kumar, who is giving training to thousands of people to face life and its challenges and make it more harmonious and affluent.

Shri Dinesh Kumar had organized a 4-day retreat at Vanaprastha Ashram, Pauri Garhwal (near Rishikesh), with the help of Maa Gyaan Suveera, a dynamic Lady-Saint, hailing from Hyderabad and living now in Kirti Hermitage, Gular, near the ancient Vasishtha Cave, on the Rishikesh-Badrinath Highway. Maa Gyaan Suveera always radiates a contagious smile and joy, which immediately endears herself to others.

Shri Swami Vishveshwarananda Saraswati, President Omkarananda Ashram, was requested by Shri Dinesh Kumar and Maa Gyaan Suveeraji to grace the concluding Function of the 4 day retreat as their honourable Chief Guest. Swamiji kindly agreed.

On 3rd December 2011 Shri Swami Vishveshwaranandaji was welcomed with a shower of fragrant rose flower petals by hundreds of devotees, waiting for him in a beautiful hall of Vanaprastha Ashram.
Some professional musicians delighted everybody with their beautiful Bhajans.

On request of the Organizers Shri Swami Vishveshwaranandaji inspired the audience with a wonderful, deeply spiritual and at the same time practical speech, which lasted for about one hour. In between Swamiji encouraged devotees from the audience to ask questions, in order to make his speech even more audience-oriented.

Shri Dinesh Kumar introduces Swami Vishveshwarananda, President, Omkarananda Ashram, to the audience.
Swami Vishveshwarananda delivers an inspiring lecture on the principles of a spiritual life.

Swamiji was greatly thanked and honoured by the Organizers and all participants of this Function for his extraordinary spiritual discourse and his joy-giving Presence.

When Swami Vishveshwaranandaji had to return back to Omkarananda Ashram, all the devotees surrounded him, requesting him to bless them. They expressed so much love and devotion to Swamiji, that they hardly wanted to let him leave.

Kumari Somashekhari, in a relaxed mood, speaks to the audience with her perfect Hindi language,
while Maa Gyaan Suveera, with a nice smile, looks at her.
