AYUDH Kolkata Conducted Workshop Power of Yagna

AYUDH Kolkata recently participated in a transformative workshop, “Power of Yajna”, centered on the theme “Performing all actions as a Yajna”, drawing inspiration from the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita and Amma's guidance on Karma Yoga. The workshop was led by Brahmacharini Amritatmika Chaitanya and Brahmacharini Niseema from the AYUDH National Coordination Team, along with Ms. Amrita Sinha, Program Manager from the Office of Youth Empowerment, Amrita University.

The session began with the chanting of selected Gita shlokas to invoke a reflective atmosphere, followed by a group meditation to help participants connect inwardly. Through interactive team-building games and the singing of a Bengali devotional song, participants deepened their bond with one another and with the divine.

A key highlight was a skit performed by the AYUDHians titled “Youth in Dilemma”, which creatively portrayed how young people often struggle to find clarity in life—and how, through the practice of Karma Yoga in AYUDH, they learn to act selflessly, overcome inner confusion and stress, and live a joyful and purposeful life.

The workshop also included a light hearted yet insightful segment on how Karma Yoga can be practiced in all professions and student life, as well as a session on Amma’s life and teachings, illustrating how Amma guides individuals to transform daily actions into offerings of love and service. AYUDHians shared personal experiences of Amma’s influence in their lives, making the session especially heartfelt and inspiring.

The day concluded with prayers at Amma’s Brahmasthanam temple, where each participant made a personal resolution to practice simple acts of yajna. These handwritten resolutions were signed and submitted, symbolizing their sincere commitment to selfless action and spiritual growth.

The workshop served as a profound reminder that spiritual principles can be applied in daily life to create a more balanced, compassionate, and harmonious world.
