Highlights of the event included an exclusive heartwarming and inspiring address on the true spirit of sacrifice or Yajna and its benefits upon the world, by JKYog Founder, Vedic scholar and mind management expert Swami Mukundananda. Swami Mukundananda applauded the selfless efforts of the participants, singers and orgzers towards an unprecedented 24-hour online, live non-stop Maha Mantra Kirtan spanning USA and Canada, given the reality of social distancing due to COVID-19.Swami Mukundananda"When you do your duties as incumbent upon you in the spirit of sacrifice, that is the Yajna of a Karm Yogi....The highest yagya is the chanting of the names of God," said H.H. Swami Mukundananda.JKYog and Radha Krishna Temple of Dallas provided the rare opportunity for people the world over to participate in such a sacrifice through continuous Maha Mantra chanting and to benefit from divine blessings.How Akshaya Tritiya matters in COVID-19 times:Akshaya means never ending, and traditionally Akshaya Tritiya is good for making charitable donations as any wealth given away on this day is said to multiply. According to Swami Mukundanada, however, the real Vedic significance of Akshaya Tritiya lies in understanding that material wealth is temporary or "Kshaya".This is especially true of the economic crisis following the coronavirus pandemic. People have spent lifetimes building their fortunes and acquiring material capital. Now we are compelled to realize that all the treasures of the world can be snatched away in a moment. On the other hand, inner attributes such as sacrifice, optimism, tolerance, love and humility are everlasting riches. To become truly rich on Akshaya Tritiya, we thus need to prioritize the inner wealth for ourselves that will be permanent and continue with us lifelong in addition to benefiting the community.There is a story from the Mahabharat highlighting the importance of sacrifice on the day of Akshaya Tritiya.The Akshaya Patra of the Pandavas:When the Pandavas were exiled to the forest, they received several visits from statesmen, due to which Draupadi (the wife of the Pandavas) exhausted the limited supply of food to cater to the needs of guests. One day Lord Krishna happened to visit with his retinue. Finding Draupadi weeping, the Lord learnt that even her rice pot was empty. He asked Draupadi to look closely again - she found a single grain of rice. Lord Krishna ate that grain saying that even a single grain of rice when offered with love and humility to the Lord, is enough to satiate the whole universe. Thus, on that day no one felt hungry, saving Draupadi embarrassment. Lord Krishna then further bestowed on the Pandavas the "Akshaya Patra" or the vessel that would provide an endless supply of food. The day was commemorated as "Akshaya Tritiya".The above story highlights the value of selfless sacrifice (yajna) and the importance of growing spiritual wealth to become better persons on the auspicious day of Akshaya Tritiya.#JKYogOnline programs for self-transformation:JKYog has completely revolutionized the spiritual movement with free online events, freely distributing spiritual knowledge and tools for inner bliss.
