वंदे गुरु परंपरा गुरुपौर्णिमा   अर्थात   ज्ञानाच्या   परंपरांचे   पाईक   होण्याचा   दिवस इमं विवस्वते योगं प्रोत्कवानहमव्ययम् । विवस्वान् मनवे प्राह मनुरिक्ष्वाकवेऽब्रवीत । । (४-१) भगवद् गीतेत देखील श्रीकृष्ण अर्जुनाला उपदेश करताना ज्ञानाच्या परंपरेचा दाखला दिला आहे. ते म्हणतात ‘ मी हा अव्यय ( अविनाशी ) योग सूर्याला सांगितला. सूर्याने मनुला सांगितला व मनूने  इक्ष्वाकू   सांगितला.  भारतीय परंपरेत नवीन ज्ञानतत्वाज्ञाच्या शाखांची मांडणी करताना देखील असा गुरु परंपरेचा वारसा सांगितला जातो. कारण ज्ञानाच्या परंपरेच्या संक्रमणातूनच ज्ञान वृद्धिगत होत जाते.                ज्ञान   प्रबोधिनीने   पथकाधिपती   म्हणून   समर्थ   रामदास ,  स्वामी   दयानंद ,  स्वामी   विवेकानंद   आणि   योगी   अरविंद या चार व्यक्तींचा स्वीकार केला आहे.   त्यापैकी एक म्हणजे समर्थ रामदास! कवि   वामन   पंडितांनी   समर्थांची ...

Vande Guru Parampara

  Vande Guru Parampara Guru Purnima – Honouring Our Gurus, Upholding the Tradition इमं विवस्वते योगं प्रोत्कवानहमव्ययम् । विवस्वान् मनवे प्राह मनुरिक्ष्वाकवेऽब्रवीत । । (४-१) In the Bhagavad Gita, while advising Arjuna, Lord Krishna gives an example of the tradition of knowledge. He says, “I imparted this indestructible Yoga to the Sun (Vivasvan), who passed it on to Manu, and Manu, in turn, passed it on to Ikshvaku.” In the Indian tradition, whenever new knowledge or philosophy is presented, the legacy of the Guru's tradition is also acknowledged—because knowledge flourishes only when its lineage is preserved and passed on.

They built luxurious buildings like the Chief Commissioner’s bungalow, a bakery, a church, a tennis court, and more, earning it the title “Paris of the East.” But nature has reclaimed its place. Today, the grand buildings are overrun by roots and vines, swallowed by trees like banyan tress and many varieties of Ficus family membe...
