Monthly Highlights – July 25 – Sri Kameswari Foundation

Namaste!!!

The activities in the month of July reflected our commitment to sharing eternal knowledge through various platforms.This engagement has instilled in us a deeper sense of responsibility and a greater passion to continue this journey.

It has been a month filled with learning in multiple dimensions.We celebrated the sacred occasion of “Guru Purnim”a in remembrance of VedaVyasa Maharshi,along with our revered Gurus.Their inspiration guided our work throughout the month and will continue to serve as a driving force in the years to come.

There is a greater joy in living a wholistic way of life.The knowledge streams of Sanātana Dharma are so deeply interconnected that,to truly experience the bliss of this eternal wisdom, one must approach them collectively rather than in isolation. This is precisely what we aim to achieve through our various programs — from VedaVignanam → BhagavadGītā → Courses on Śāstras.

The experiences we gain through this process are motivating us to continually improve and expand our efforts.

We sincerely thank each and every one of you for your support—whether by engaging with our content on social media or by participating in our courses.

Here is our July Newsletter,featuring details of our new course, “Veda Jyotisham – Advanced Level”,a discourse on “Guru Tattvam” and updates on other ongoing initiatives.

Highlights of JULY 2025

1.Discourse on GuruTattvam on GuruPurnima @ SriSringeri Sankar Math,Hyderabad By Dr. J.Suryanarayana garu – (10-07-25)

Bhāratavarṣa is the sacred birthplace of ancient culture and spiritual traditions.

When we ask, “Who gave us such a profound culture? Who established such a timeless system?” — there is but one answer we all agree upon: It is the Gurus, who are equal to the Divine,who bestowed this culture upon us.

Taking birth as human beings and attaining oneness with the Divine through intense penance (tapas), these great souls (Mahāpuruṣas) conveyed the teachings of the Divine in a manner we all could understand.

It is solely through their grace that we are able to live this meaningful life.

Among such exalted beings,the first form of Guru we worship is Bhagavān Vyāsa.

The sacred literature he has gifted us continues to guide humanity as long as creation exists.

The Guru Puja we perform on the day of Guru Purnima is offered in remembrance of Vyāsa Mahāmuni.On this sacred day,we also worship all Gurus who,like divine incarnations,have descended to uplift us.

But then questions arise:

How should one perform Vyāsa Pūjā?
Why is the presence of a Guru essential?
Who should be worshipped as a Guru?

By learning such foundational aspects of Sanātana Dharma through well-versed scholars, we develop deeper reverence and commitment towards our Dharma.

With the blessings of the Jagadguru Mahāsaṃsthānam of Śṛṅgeri,on the occasion of Guru Purnima,Dr.Jammalamadaka Suryanarayana garu delivered a discourse on “Guru Tattvam” at SriSringeri Sankara Math,Nallakunta,Hyderabad.

We offer our reverent salutations at the lotus feet of the Jagadgurus,who graciously blessed us with this noble opportunity to understand and share the scriptural truths of a guru. 🙏🙏🙏

2.Empowering the Next Generation of Sanskrit Scholars: A Memorable Session at IIT Hyderabad

Dr.Jammalamadaka Suryanarayana garu had the privilege of being invited by IIT Hyderabad and INDICA to facilitate a session for an inspiring cohort of young Sanskrit scholars,as part of “Developing a Personal Vision for the Sanskrit Ecosystem” program. The initiative was a collaborative effort by the Central Sanskrit University (CSU),with INDICA serving as the Knowledge Partner.

The session titled “Understanding the Sanskrit Ecosystem – Bharat and the World” brought together over 40 bright minds—students and junior faculty members—from various Sanskrit universities across the country.The atmosphere was incredibly welcoming and warm, a reflection of the deep respect and enthusiasm these scholars carry for our shared heritage.

During the session,Dr.J.Suryanarayana garu offered a practical lens into how the traditional Sanskrit ecosystem is not just evolving,but opening up new avenues of relevance in the contemporary world.He emphasized that with the right attitude to learn, understand, and apply the shastras, today’s scholars can make meaningful contributions to modern challenges—be it in education, wellness, policy, linguistics, or even technology.

Some of the key themes he addressed included:

The Evolving Sanskrit Ecosystem: How traditional knowledge systems are being re-interpreted and repositioned in today’s global discourse.

Opportunities Ahead: From academic research and publishing to interdisciplinary applications in AI, design, psychology, and beyond.

Bringing Shastra into Action: Encouraging the shift from memorization to internalization, and from theory to application.

Vision for the Next Decade: Helping young scholars craft a roadmap that bridges traditional wisdom with societal needs.

It was heartening to witness the curiosity and openness among the participants.He was energized by the possibilities that lie ahead when Sanskrit is embraced not just as a language or tradition, but as a living, evolving force for thought leadership.

Our sincere gratitude to IIT Hyderabad, INDICA, and CSU for this meaningful platform—and to the participants, for their sincerity and drive.We look forward to seeing many of them become the torchbearers of a revitalized Sanskrit ecosystem in the years to come.

5.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 Śrautam,Smārtam,Vedāṅgas, and more from our Vedam guruvugaru – Kunapuli Ganesh Karthikeya Ghanapathi garu.

Here are the two episodes released in this month.

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

In traditional Gurukulas and the realm of śāstras,the study of Tarkaśāstra typically begins with Tarkasaṅgraha,composed by Śrī Annambhaṭṭa.This concise text,structured in about 300 short sentences,offers a gentle and accessible introduction to the subject.

Kāṇṭhasthīkaraṇa (committing to memory) of these sentences is highly beneficial — it not only deepens one’s grasp of Tarkaśāstra, but also enhances the study of other śāstras and cultivates a tattvika dṛṣṭi (philosophical worldview).

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

We have released 3 videos in this series and can be watched through the below links

7.EK Spiritual Services – Medical Camp – (20-07-25)

Dr.Gopal Rao Garu and his dedicated team successfully organized a comprehensive and impactful homeopathy medical camp at the Abhayanjaneya Swamy Temple in RTC Colony.

This thoughtful initiative extended its benefits to students, parents,and members of the surrounding community,providing care and relief to many enduring chronic health conditions.

It was a deeply meaningful healthcare effort, and the foundation felt truly honored to host such a holistic,community-centered program.
