Holy Guruji Hindu Dharmsamrat Paramhans Sri Swami Madhavanandaji's birthday, which according to the Vedic lunar calendar was a few days before seminar, was the opportunity to remember the eternal relationship between Guru and disciple. Remembering our beloved Holy Guruji and light of his existence on this Earth with HH Swamiji, and also Swami Premanandji, who was in Guruji's seva for many years, were special pearls and a treat of the seminar.
