INVITATION TO ATMARPANA 2011
Prahlad Raj Kulkarni
Dear All,
It gives us immense pleasure to announce and request your presence for this year's Atmarpana Varshikotsava - ATMARPANA 2011. This is 4th such annual international event hosted by ATMASHRAMA starting from the year 2008.
As you all know, at the core of this event is the VARSHIKA SHASTRA PARIKSHA wherein all the disciples of Shri Guruji, who are spread across the globe, will get an opportunity to submit their learning's at the feet of Shri Hari Vayu and Gurugalu.
We will follow the previous exam pattern - a short anuvada by a student followed by questions and answers session. Though all students of Atmashrama are required to personally appear for the exams, but if someone is not able to be present at the venue for the exam, arrangements will be made so that they can appear for the exam online like we did in the previous year. Pls note that this is applicable primarily for students outside of India.
Gurugalu has stressed for quality even though subject may be small one. PARTICIPATION IS MANDATORY for anyone who has learnt even a single letter from Guruji. This shows our commitment to learn and present our knowledge before Gurugalu and get the blessings of Hari,Vayu and Gurugalu.
Last year, Kids surprised us all by rendering slokas and stotras in a non-stop fashion and we expect to see more this time!
