Chinmaya Mission: 

In honour of the Second Seva Project by Chinmaya Mission Guwahati, the members of the Devi and Yoga groups, paid a visit to Amar Ghar at Patharquarry, a residence for the elderly, where they generously distributed groceries and fruits among the residents. 

The event commenced with a serene Ganesh bhajan, followed by an enlightening speech about Chinmaya Mission by Seemarekha ji. 

This was accompanied by Assamese Prarthana, a melodious Shiv bhajan, and the chanting of Geeta from chapter 12 by the Devigroup. 

Brahmacharini Ananya Chaitanya ji shed light on the importance of chanting the Lord's name and shared the profound wisdom it carries. 

She also delighted the audience with her captivating stories delivered in her unique style. 

The session left a lasting impression on the attendees, who expressed their gratitude and requested more such sessions in the future.

Chapter 8: Creation and Life After Death -1. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Bhagavadgita is a moksha-shastra, a scripture on the science of the liberation of the spirit. Thus it follows the course of the return process along the same lines as the evolutionary process of the descent of the soul from the Supreme Being.
