In a powerful display of devotion and cultural unity, more than 5,000 individuals including devotees, students, and their family members gathered to welcome the New Year at the SR Group of Institutions (SRGI) campus in Bakshi-ka-Talab, Lucknow. The event, centered around collective 'bhajan-kirtan' and divine music, transformed the campus into a hub of spiritual resonance.
A Campus Resonating with Divine Chants and Melodies
The atmosphere at SRGI was deeply charged with Sanatan consciousness as powerful chants of 'Jai Shri Ram' filled the air. Soothing melodies reminiscent of Lord Krishna's flute created a serene backdrop, connecting every participant at a profound, soulful level. This was not just a cultural program but a spiritual journey titled 'Bhajan Jamming: Ekatva'.
The event was organized through a collaboration between SRGI, Jalota Academy of Spiritual Music & Performing Arts, and Digi Monk. Its core objective was to allow participants to experience true unity ('ekta') and oneness ('ekatva') through shared devotional practices like 'bhajans', 'naam-smaran', and sacred music.
Soul-Stirring Bhajans and a Fervent Finale
The gathering was spellbound by a series of soul-stirring devotional songs. The playlist included timeless bhajans such as 'Ram Ram Jai Raja Ram', 'Mangal bhavan amangal haari', 'Shri Krishna Govind Hare Murari', 'Satyam Shivam Sundaram', and 'Deva Shri Ganesh Deva'. The devotional fervor reached its peak as the program culminated with a breathless, collective recitation of the Hanuman Chalisa, taking the spiritual energy to its zenith.
Leadership Emphasizes Connecting Youth with Cultural Roots
The occasion saw the presence of key dignitaries from the institution, including MLC and Chairman Pawan Singh Chauhan, Vice-Chairman Piyush Singh Chauhan, and Vice Chairperson Sushmita Singh. Addressing the gathering, Vice-Chairman Piyush Singh Chauhan extended New Year greetings to all followers of Sanatan Dharma.
He seized the moment to highlight the critical importance of the concept of 'Ekatva' or oneness. "In today's times, it is crucial to connect the youth with India's cultural roots," he stated. He further emphasized the role of educational institutions, noting, "With increasing influence of foreign cultures, it is the responsibility of institutions to guide the younger generation towards Sanatan values and the righteous path."
The 'Bhajan Jamming: Ekatva' event successfully served as a bridge, merging celebration with spirituality, and setting a contemplative and unified tone for the beginning of the New Year for thousands in Lucknow.
