We offer our heartfelt gratitude for Swami Smarananadaji's visit to our Kendra. Despite landing from the airport and just arriving, Swamiji conducted the Energization Exercises in Telugu in detail, which helped several devotees who were new and knew only Telugu. You would be happy to note that on January 14, 2018 despite being a festival day, the Kendra was packed to the brim, with people sitting on the stairs and aisles. Almost 280-300 people were there raptly meditating and listening to Swamiji's talk. The talk primarily focussed on the four pillars of our sadhana as given by our beloved Daya Mata—love, service, faith and courage. Swamiji said, "Make your love greater than your pain." Also all the stories that he narrated emphasised the four points. Swamiji spoke both in Telugu and English thus helping everybody in the audience to understand the points. Scholarships were awarded immediately after the satsanga.
On January 15, 2018 a stream of devotees got their Kriya checked till about 12 noon. All the volunteers and devotees were involved to the first floor for a brief meditation followed by an informal talk about the kendra activities. Swamiji was happy to note the improvements in the Kendra and also the growth and development of the place. Also he noted that the strength of the meditating members has increased to an average of 50 devotees. The MC said that they would like to continue the student outreach and also the 24-hour meditations. Also the MC asked if there were any future plans of expanding the premises, but Swamiji said that they can use the premises as is and make repairs when needed. Swamiji blessed each devotee with a small memento which was placed at the shoes of Guruji in Mother Centre, and he also offered prasad blessed by Swami Chidanandaji.
On January 16, 2017 Swamiji gave a talk in Microsoft and on January 17, Swamiji departed to Guntur by road.
We once again offer our sincere gratitude at the feet of Swamiji, whose visit has haloed the place and empowered the holy vibrations of the Hyderabad Dhyana Kendra.
