    Radhe Radhe. Pranams and Prostrations to Guruji Maharaj’s Holy Feet that is the “Graceful Elevator”, more so when we are ‘jaded’ and gripped in ‘brain-faded’ moments! The Fierce Resolve of the Students, with the Unswerving Will to Excel, gets Amplified in Editions like Puranava [2025], in Pune. The Riveting Photographs announce, thunderously and convey vividly, Guruji Maharaj’s Abiding Endeavour to “Unite Finest Talents” and all the Stakeholders sewing this event seamlessly are roundly applauded, soulfully and wholeheartedly! Grateful, in tons, to Exemplary Guruji for scripting this Cracker of a Satsang in the Delightful & Lovely Lawns of Pune that will be stored in the shelves of the memory of not only the Blessed Participants but also in the inner recesses of our minds, as well!
