Join our worldwide sangha for a spiritual commemoration of the 116th full moon birth anniversary of HH Swami Hariharananda Paramahansa, a direct disciple of HH Swami Shriyukteshwar, and the monastic master of HH Swami Vidyadhishananda.
Our Himalayan siddha monk and living saint, His Holiness Swami Vidyadhishananda, will illuminate through audio-visual video presentation about the descension of Swami Hariharananda – how he was the avatāra of Twastā – one of the twelve forms of Sun God. Be transported to Swami Hariharananda Baba’s years in Puri’s Karar ashram where he would become a spiritual giant.
Learn how Tryambaknath (Mahavatar Babaji) conferred blessings to him and how this was largely responsible for his realization. See rare video footage and listen to audio discourse excerpts from his teaching years and learn about his wisdom teachings.
Swami Hariharananda Paramahansa was born on an auspicious combination of a full moon on a Monday, during the early morning. His birth date of 27th May 1907 is on Vaiśākha purnimā also popularly known as Buddha purnimā, as the great Gautama Buddha was born on this same Vedic soli-lunar calendar day.
Swami Hariharananda’s birthstar of Anuradha naxatra (a lunar asterism) accorded him a sweet endearing voice with a feminine quality, typical of males born under this star. Incidentally, he closed his life also during Anuradha naxatra but this time on a new moon evening.
Experience Sanskrit chanting for peace and goodwill and see ceremonial fire from the live vespers offered to our meditation altar at the conclusion of the fellowship.
