The 128th Birth Anniversary of our Divine Master, Sri Swami Sivananda was held on Tuesday, 8 September at Sivanandashram, Reservoir Hills, drawing a large gathering from all parts of KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng.
About the Divine Master, Swami Krishnananda, one of the Master’s senior disciples wrote, “The purpose of Sri Gurudev’s coming into this world and the intention behind the coming of any sage and saint, is the waking of the slumbering soul of mankind. Gurudev Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj was an incarnation of this unending, incessant, eternal human aspiration for perfection. His teaching is usually summed up in a pithy statement: “God first, world next, yourself last”. This statement, this little message, this one-sentence teaching perhaps sums up the great gospel of life which brings God to the Earth, into our kitchen, into the very room in which we live, into this vestment of our physical personality”
The Sunlit Path Programme for learners in Isipingo was held at the Isipingo Secondary School Hall on Friday, 21 August 2015 and was attended by 128 learners from the following secondary schools: Isipingo, Reunion, and Strelitzia. Seventy-Five learners voluntarily signed the pledge form to stay away from drugs and other social evils, and adopt a healthy life style.
The organisers of the Sunlit Path Programme are pleased to report that the programme held on Friday, 14 August 2015 in Phoenix, was a success in many respects. Although this was a follow-up programme, the organisers did not want to deny enthusiastic new learners the opportunity to attend. This decision was justified by the fact that 40 new pledges were signed by the newcomers to try to stay away from drug addiction and other social ills. The behaviour of the learners was exceptional and their ability to respond to questions was also praiseworthy. Our host school, A.M. Moolla Spes Nova School, attended for the first time and the committee gladly incorporated 20 new learners from this school into the programme. The following seven secondary schools participated: A.M. Moolla Spes Nova School, Stanmore, Havenpark, Sastri Park, Grove End, Palmview and Solvista.
