A soiree with a difference:

4th July 2015

When the talented vocalist at the chamber music announced his next musical offering would be the Mysore Anthem, the invited audience was up on their feet in tribute. The celebrated anthem has very interesting origin. There was a time when the princely State of Mysore was taken under British rule on pretext of maladministration. But after much deliberation, the state was restored to HH Maharaja Chamaraja Wodeyar by the "Rendition of 1881". To commemorate the occasion, HH asked Basavappa Shastry, the court poet of Mysore durbar, to compose the state anthem.

Guru Poornima Celebrations lead by Shri ARUNJI at Mysore, 15th July 2011

The moon shines by reflecting the dazzling light of the sun. On the Full Moon Day it reflects in full splendor the glorious light of the sun. This is the time when we go deeper and purify ourselves through the fire of Service, Sadhana and Satsang; and like the full moon, become holistic and reflect the glorious Light of the Atman.


The Guru is the one who removes the fundamental ignorance, maya that hides the knowledge of truth from us. This is the time when we offer our reverence to him and the lineage of Masters for imparting precious knowledge that puts an end to distress and sheds cool comfort on our minds.


The AOL family Mysore  celebrates Guru Poornima this year with a Divya Satsang on Friday, 15th July 2011 at the Senate Bhavan, Manasa Gangotri Campus, Mysore. Shri.Arun Madhavanji will lead the satsang from 6.30 pm onwards.
