New Delhi, Oct 29 (IANS) In an era when digital technology is snatching away peace of mind, the divine vision of BAPS spiritual guru Mahant Swami Maharaj has sparked global awakening.
“Mission Rajipo” run by BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha has illuminated a new path – a path where spiritual education and character building go hand in hand.
A year ago, Mahant Swami Maharaj envisioned teaching and reciting Sanskrit shlokas to children across the world. Describing Sanskrit as the mother of all languages, he said that those who will assimilate the Sanskrit verses and live with them will not only develop spiritually but will also achieve excellence in every sphere of life.
Mahant Swami Maharaj set a divine goal and inspired that within a year, 10,000 children should memorize Sanskrit shlokas.
Prerana started as a divine goal but soon became a movement – over 40,000 children have enthusiastically registered to participate. Of them, 15,666 boys and girls successfully memorized all 315 Sanskrit verses of the Satsang Diksha and passed the rigorous text assessment. Thousands of people are moving forward on this journey of learning, contemplation and self-transformation.
Mahant Swami Maharaj’s approach was deeply spiritually and scientifically insightful. He explained that Sanskrit refines pronunciation, enriches vocabulary and sharpens the intellect. Regular chanting of Sanskrit shlokas increases focus, clarity and mental purity – truth, now supported by modern science.
Through these verses, children are learning that true knowledge is something that is lived, not merely learned. Through lessons, they are not just memorizing Sanskrit; They are internalizing compassion, humility, truth and harmony – the essence of divine life.
Children from India to America, Britain, Canada, UAE, Australia, New Zealand and Africa participated in this great yagya of devotion and discipline. Behind them was the tireless support of 103 sadhus, 17,000 volunteers and 25,000 parents, whose collective effort transformed this initiative into a global movement of values and virtue.
