The 83rd 'Janmadina Poojitha Samarpanam' of NAVAJYOTHISREE KARUNAKARA GURU, the founder Guru of Santhigiri Ashram, is being celebrated on 25th August, 2009, (9th Chingam 1185). The blessed occasion demands our single-minded devotion, dedication and attention as well as our concerted efforts. While striving to render the event memorable we also need to keep in mind the natural elegance and simplicity unique to Guru.

The 'Janmadina Poojitha Samarpanam' and its spiritual significance will, in the days to come, acquire the astounding brilliance ordained by the Supreme Will of the Almighty. Not only this occasion, but also the place where it is celebrated, will be cherished by the entire world.

The birth of Guru, at Chandiroor in Cherthala taluk of Alappuzha district, 83 years ago, marks a new beginning for the liberation and transformation of human kind. Guru's life is the legacy of the entire world. May this truth be revealed by the grace of the Almighty Brahmam, to one and all. May it be so now and in the times to come.

“Everything that concerns me should be made known to all and whatever needs to be done it should be done with the participation of all”, Guru had said. Also, the revealed Will of the Brahmam indicates the participation of the people of the world on this auspicious occasion. Accordingly, this intent is made known in the name of Guru, and you along with your family are invited to take part in the sacred celebrations.
