18 अप्रैल 2026 को BAPS स्वामीनारायण सत्संग मंडल वियना द्वारा आयोजित प्रेरणादायी संगोष्ठी “Mindfulness Amid Mayhem” में सहभागिता HRÖ के लिए सम्मान का विषय था ।

पूज्य परमत्तत्वदास स्वामीजी के ज्ञानवर्धक प्रवचन ने आज के भागते-दौड़ते जीवन में भीतरी शांति, सचेत अवस्था, व आध्यात्मिक संतुलन पर प्रकाश डाला । इस आयोजन में ऑस्ट्रिया में हिंदू समुदाय के जीवन को सुदृढ़ करने और भविष्य में सहयोग पर भी सार्थक चर्चा हुई ।

हम आध्यात्मिकता, बुद्धिमता, व साझा मूल्यों के द्वारा समुदाय को एक साथ लाने के लिए BAPS वियना का आभार व्यक्त करते हैं ।

आध्यात्मिक कल्याण, एकता, व सांस्कृतिक समरसता की ओर एक प्रेरणादायी पहल 🙏

श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता में कई स्थानों पर भगवान श्रीकृष्ण ने ज्ञान की महत्ता स्पष्टतः कही है । जैसे कि --

श्रेयान्द्रव्यमयाद्यज्ञाज्ज्ञानयज्ञः परन्तप --
न हि ज्ञानेन सदृशं पवित्रमिह विद्यते --
तेषां ज्ञानी नित्ययुक्त एकभक्तिर्विशिष्यते --

HRÖ की वर्तमान कार्यकारिणी समिति यह अपना पुनीत कर्तव्य मानती है कि सनातन धर्म के महान पूर्वजों द्वारा संकलित अमूल्य ज्ञान की धरोहर को भावी पीढ़ियों तक सुरक्षित पहुँचाया जाए । इसी दिशा में HRÖ के तत्वाधान में श्रीमती सीता मेड़वरपु जी द्वारा छोटे बालकों को ऑनलाइन माध्यम से संस्कृत भाषा में श्लोक सिखाने का महती प्रयास किया जा रहा है । इसके लिए सीता जी एक गुरु के रूप में सम्मान की अधिकारी हैं, छोटे छोटे बालकों के माता-पिता उन्हें इस ओर प्रेरित करने के लिए प्रशंसा के अधिकारी हैं, तथा यह नन्हे बालक समस्त सनातन (हिंदु) समुदाय के स्नेह के अधिकारी हैं ।

यदि आप भी अपने बालकों को देवभाषा संस्कृत के माध्यम से सनातन शास्त्रों व भक्ति में शिक्षा दिलाने में इच्छुक हैं, या आप किसी ऐसे परिवार को जानते हैं जिनके बालक इसमें रूचि रखते हैं, तो आप हम से निस्संकोच संपर्क कर या करा सकते हैं ।

Lord Krishna has clearly stated the importance of knowledge at several places in the Srimadbhāgavadgīta. Such as:

śreyāndravyamayādyajñājjñānayajñaḥ parantapa --
na hi jñānena sadṛśaṃ pavitramiha vidyate --
teṣāṃ jñānī nityayukta ekabhaktirviśiṣyate --

The current Executive Committee of HRÖ considers it its sacred duty to safely pass on to future generations the invaluable heritage of knowledge compiled by the great ancestors of Sanātan Dharm. To this end, under the auspices of HRÖ, Mrs. Seetha Medavarapu Ji is making a significant effort to teach Sanskrit verses to young children online. For this, Seetha Ji deserves respect as a guru, the parents of these young children deserve praise to motivate them towards this direction, and these little children deserve the love of the entire Sanātan (Hindu) community.

If you too are interested in educating your children in Sanātan Shastras and devotion through the divine language Sanskrit, or you know any family whose children are interested in this, then you can contact us without hesitation or get us to do so.
