Monthly Highlights – December 25 – Sri Kameswari Foundation

Greetings Everyone!!!

Life is a continuous journey of educating ourselves with the right knowledge while revisiting and correcting our earlier misunderstandings. In today’s world, where an overwhelming amount of information is available on every subject, this process has become even more constant, much like the rapid pace of changing technologies.

Yet, a question repeatedly arises: Am I learning this correctly? Am I acting in the right way?

As a foundation committed to bringing authentic content to sincere seekers, it becomes essential for us to reflect on these questions in every aspect of our work.

The answers emerge through our online and offline courses, our interactions with people, the educational content we create, and, importantly, through our engagement with other scholars working in this field.

The month of December enabled us to reflect deeply and reorient our ideas and actions in ways that support the growth of our community in alignment with dharmic consciousness.

Highlights of December 2025

1.Gita Jayanti Celebrations @ Sri Kameswari Foundation – 01-Dec-25

On the occasion of Gita Jayanti,Sri Kameswari Foundation broadcast today,through YouTube Live,the Complete Srimad Bhagavad Gita Parayanam rendered by Chi.Kalaga Achyuta Sharma.

The great teaching once given by Achyuta on the battlefield of Kurukshetra was today beautifully expressed by this little Achyuta.Watching and listening to him recite once in verse form and in the form of a song some other times is truly delightful.

Ordinary people,upon seeing this,might think, “How could such a young child retain all this!He must have been undergoing thorough training from eledrs” But those rooted in Sanatana Dharma would say, “This is the result of the austerities performed in his previous births too.”

This is something people of the present times must recognize.We believe that we have only one life and that whatever joys or sorrows we experience now are the results of this one birth. Because of this,we live without thinking about the noble state attained through good deeds or the painful conditions that follow sinful actions.

With the belief that we live only once,we begin to expect immediate results for every action. When our expectations are not fulfilled,we feel discouraged,assuming all our effort has gone in vain.This leads to a casual attitude toward righteous conduct and even to engaging in unrighteous actions just to achieve what we desire, thereby causing harm to the world and to all living beings.

But as those born into a Dharma that accepts the doctrine of rebirth,we must follow the teachings of the Gitacharya—performing our duties righteously and cultivating titiksha (patience). Only then can we accomplish noble and lasting deeds that remain significant across ages.

This should always remain at the back of our minds while working in the IKS space.Our goal is to enable people to experience ananda through the timeless teachings of our ancestors found in the Vedas,Shastras,Itihasas,Puranas and other sacred texts.But if we allow ourselves to be driven by deadlines,investments and the pressures of Western organisational models,then we risk reducing this sacred knowledge system into something artificial — merely a new label placed on a structure that no longer offers anything valuable.

Let us receive this as the timeless message of the Jagadacharya from today’s Gita Jayanti programme and pray to him to bless us with an unwavering love for our dharma and work for upliftment of mankind with patience,righteousness and self-restraint.

Kindly give your blessings for the little boy Achyuta.

2.IKSHA Sangama 2025, 3rd International Conclave of Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS)

It was a 3-day conclave held at Sri Sathya Sai University For Human Excellence (SSSUHE) in Muddenahalli, near Bengaluru.

Dr.Suryanarayana Jammalamadaka garu and Dr.Srinivas Jammalamadaka garu participated in the Sangama which was both enriching and affirming. The Sangama offered a rare and valuable space where serious engagement with Indian Knowledge Systems met lived scholarship and institutional vision.

A highlight of the visit was the opportunity to have meaningful conversations on the future directions of our foundation with Prof. Srinivasa Varakhedi garu,Dr. Sai Susarla garu,and Shankar Bharadwaj garu.These exchanges helped sharpen our long-term perspective and reaffirmed the importance of grounding institutional growth firmly in śāstric integrity.

Equally memorable was the time spent with fellow scholars who represented deep śāstric scholarship at the event— Dr. Mushti Pavan Kumar garu and Dr. Neelakantha Shastri garu.Our discussions were thoughtful,unhurried and rooted in shared concern for the future of authentic learning traditions.

Overall, IKSHA 2025 was not merely a conference, but a confluence of intent, clarity, and commitment—strengthening resolve to continue our work with greater depth and responsibility.

3.Dr.J.Srinivas garu participated in Sastrartha Sabha @ National Sanskrit University,Tirupati – 27-Dec-25

What should a human being truly ask for in life?

Sanatana Dharma clearly lays down the four Purusharthas—the four essential pursuits of human life: Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha.

Most Sanatanis are familiar with this framework. But are we equally aware that these four Purusharthas are deeply interdependent, and that each one derives its meaning only through its relationship with the others?

Understanding this relationship is crucial.When we view each Purushartha in isolation, ignoring their mutual harmony, it leads to imbalance and disharmony.This fragmented understanding is already manifesting as chaos in every walk of our life—from the very act of breathing when we wake up, to retiring to bed with a restless and sleepless mind.

In this context, National Sanskrit University, Tirupati, organised the Sastrartha Sabha – Bharatiya Vigyan Sammelan 2025, focusing on understanding each Purushartha from a Vedic and Shastric perspective.

Our Acharya, Dr. Jammalamadaka Srinivasa garu, participated in this Vakyartha along with other eminent Shastric scholars. He explained with great clarity, why adherence to Varna–Ashrama Dharma is vital for nurturing Shanti, Soumansya(Harmony), and Viswasam(Faith) in society, while bringing out the finer nuances of Artha Purushartha.

Today, when we ask anyone—even a young child—about their goal in life, the immediate response often is: “I want to become rich and live a luxurious life.”

We have begun to view creation merely as a means for personal gratification, continuously exploiting it without concern for others—either in the present or the future. The consequences of such actions are becoming increasingly evident, manifesting as pandemics, tsunamis, landslides, earthquakes, and many other calamities.

If one truly wishes to reflect on how meaningful change can be brought about, listening to our Acharya’s elucidation on the role of Artha in society and its inseparable relationship with Dharma becomes essential.

The entire Sastrartha Sabha was conducted in a structured and engaging manner, with the final speaker of the Sastrartha Sabha revealing the ultimate aim of life as per Sanatana Dharma.

Though the proceedings were entirely in Sanskrit, as Sanatanis, we can easily grasp the essence effortlessly—each sentence resonating deeply with our dharmic consciousness.

We would like to thank National Sanskrit University, Tirupati, for providing this valuable opportunity to participate in and present the Shastric perspective on a topic that is not only relevant,but urgently needed in contemporary times.

4.Successfully Launched: Devi Suktas Course – 15-Dec-25

We have successfully completed the Purusha Suktam course as part of our Vedamantram series and have now launched the next course—Devi Suktas, which includes Durga Suktam, Bhu Suktam and Sri Suktam.

For one to experience the sense-transcending Parabrahma Shakti,every human being must worship Shakti through their senses, for it is through such worship that the transcendental can be truly experienced.Therefore,in Sanatana Dharma,Shakti upasana holds great significance.

Among such forms of Shakti upasana,the Durga Suktam,Bhu Suktam and Sri Suktam are of utmost importance.When one learns these directly from a guru and engages in worship with them,the upasana becomes truly accomplished.

We are very much happy to share that this course has been launched with two batches,exclusively for participants who have undergone the Upanayanam ceremony.

5.Sri BalaTripuraSundari Devi Charitra — A Devotional Telugu Episode Series!

Jagadamba Lalitā Devi always protects those who come to her with distress and surrender.The sacred story of how she appeared and saved the world was given by Brahmasri Tadepalli Raghava Narayana Sastry garu (Chandolu Sastry garu) through his book Sri BalaTripuraSundari Devi Charitra.

Sri Kameswari Foundation is presenting this divine story in a simple and clear manner for our telugu audience.

We have released the first episode in this series,which you can watch below.

6.VedaVignanam – A Series Exploring the Eternal Voice of the Vedas

With the blessings of Vedapurusha,we are continuing our exploration of foundational concepts such as Vedaswaram,Veda Adhyayanam,Varnakramam,Upanishad and much more from our Vedam guruvugaru – Kunapuli Ganesh Karthikeya ghanapathi garu.

Here is the another episode in this vedic series released in this month

7.Tarkasangraha Tutorial Video Series By Chi.Kalaga Achyut Sarma

In traditional Gurukulas and the realm of Shastras, the study of Tarkashastra typically begins with Tarkasangraha, composed by Sri Annambhatta. This concise text, structured in about 300 short sentences, offers a gentle and accessible introduction to the subject.

Kanthasthikarana (committing to memory) of these sentences is highly beneficial — it not only deepens one’s grasp of Tarkashastra, but also enhances the study of other Shastras and cultivates a Tattvika Drishti (philosophical worldview).

With this intent,Sri Kameswari Foundation brings to you the Tarkasangraha Recitation Tutorial, recited by Chi. Kalaga Achyut Sarma. Each sentence is recited twice, enabling learners to repeat and practice effectively.

We have released another videos in this series

8.EK Spiritual Services – Medical Camp – 07-12-25
