Hari Om Friend,

The eagerly awaited monsoon has arrived, and the weather is turning even more pleasant with more rains and more chanting of Hanuman Chalisa. 

In May, the collective recitation of Hanuman Chalisa took place at Shree Aniruddha Gurukshetram. Further, in June, the auspicious month of Shree Gurucharanmaas commenced. Sadguru Aniruddha Bapu has, time and again, asserted the significance of chanting Hanuman Chalisa 108 times in one day (within 24 hours) at least once this month. 

In June, Aniruddha’s Academy of Disaster Management (AADM) also started a Ham Training course. The AADM has also received accolades for participating in the devotional seva of Blood Donation. 

June also had the Mokhada Medical and Healthcare Camp. Underprivileged villagers and school students were provided free medical checkups, food, spectacles, etc.
