Day 3: We had good turnout of 200+ guests on a weekday for the concluding session of the “Saranagati Pravachanam” series with the surrender concept enumerated by 12 Azhwars.

In this series, Dr. Venkatesh Swamy had helped us understand 40 different Saranagati concepts from Ramayana, Mahabharata and Divya Prabhandam.

GC Vedic appreciates all Sponsors, Donors, Patrons, Trustees, SVS Balaji temple management and volunteers who had helped us conduct this program successfully 🙏

We had an enthusiastic participation of about 150 guests despite heavy thunderstorms on a weekday. On day 1, Swamy covered 15 Saranagati stories contained within Ramayana and appreciated that we have chosen excellent topics especially today’s (on Day 2) …it seems no one has done extensive Upanyasam on “Saranagati from Mahabharatam” … most of the works are from Bhagavatam only, he said that he had done an extensive research on this topic and I am excited to listen this live today.

Also the last 15 minutes were allocated to audience Q&A where several general questions were asked by enthusiastic participants. Get ready for today’s session and get your questions answered 🙏
