Celebrating Gurudevs Birth Centenary

1916-2016

CHINMAYA MISSION DALLAS/ FORT WORTH

Guru Paduka Puja

Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda was born on

May 8th, 1916. His vision has enabled tens of thousands of
spiritual seekers around the world find both external and
internal Guru. Several thousands of children and adults are
served by Chinmaya Mission centers in USA alone.
Paduka puja is worship of Padukas or sandals of a
Guru. Gurus feet or Padukas represent the knowledge on
which He stands, and firmly abides in. Worshiping the
Padukas with humility brings about the required purity in our
mind for this supreme knowledge to flow into us and spiritual
wisdom to take roots in our hearts.
On the occasion of Pujya Gurudev's birth centenary
Guru Paduka Puja ceremony is performed to express our
gratitude to the great Master.
