LUCKNOW, U.P.
The
day will soon arrive! The 100th student home of AIM for Seva, specially chosen
by Pujya Swamiji Dayananda Saraswati, is to come up in Lucknow, nearly 30
kilometres from the city's railway station. The home will be constructed on
15,000 square feet of land, and is designed by architects Sri Raj Deep Gupta
and Smt. Sashi Gupta. Among the educational institutions near the home are a
school and a couple of colleges: Heera Lal Yadav Inter and Degree College and
the Ambalika Institute of Management.
The Bhumi Puja for the home was held on February 28, with
the blessings of Pujya Swamiji. Among the participants at the function were Dr.
Asha Seth, who initiated and funded the project, her nephew Sri Sandeep Seth,
the principal of the nearby college, the pradhan of the village, and some of
Swamini Tattvajnanananda Saraswati's Vedanta students. The yajamanas of the
Bhumi puja were Smt. Deepa Bhargav and Sri Viswamitra, students of Swamini
Tattvajnanananda. The first bricks for the historic building were laid by Sri
Lakshmi Rastogi of the Rohtas Construction Group to the sounds of the Sankatanashana
Ganesh Stotram, Saradha Stotram, and Guru Stotram. The Rohtas Construction
Group has been magnanimous by lending its logistic and technical help to AIM
for Seva as part of their seva activities. Suri Associates, the builders,
sponsored the refreshments at the event. The function was ably organized by Smt.
Sudha Hansraj, student of Swamini Tattvajnanananda Saraswati. An auspicious
beginning to a noble milestone!
