Annual Report 2025 St. Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda (SGS) Benelux
In 2025, 9 newsletters were published.
The major holidays were celebrated on Sunday, March 23 (Shivaratri), Sunday, May 25 (Sri Swamiji’s birthday), Sunday, October 5 (Sri Navaratri), and Sunday, December 7 (Datta Jayanti) in the Holisan building in Lelystad. Our priest Siva was assisted by his wife Arkaja in the performance of the Pujas, which they both performed with devotion. Bhajans were also sung with the group present.
The recitation of chapters from the Bhagavad Gita (Bhagavad Gita Parayana) was performed with some regularity under the direction of Indira Jankipersad and Arkaja Sadhu, including at other locations (Eindhoven). Communication for announcements took place mainly via email, WhatsApp, and Facebook.
In addition, the Hanuman Chalisa, Sri Lalita Sahasranam, Guru Gita, and Bhagavad Gita were recited in various temples such as the Sri Shirdi Temple in Amsterdam, the Asamai Temple in Zaandam, and the Arulmigu Sri Aruna Chaleswarar Temple in Beverwijk.
Towards the end of this year, 2025, Sri Swamiji Ganapathi Sachchidananda of Mysuru, Patron Saint of the Sri Ganapathi Sachchidananda Benelux Foundation, announced that it is His wish to establish a Sri Hanuman Center in the Netherlands, which will be the first center on the European mainland.
In this center, the emphasis will be on the cultural, humanitarian, religious, and artistic/musical aspects of Sri Swamiji’s work, with the Sanatana Dharma as the foundation. It is expected that in 2026, programs will be expanded with recitals of the Sri Hanuman Chalisa in various temples in the Netherlands, and in particular in the new Sri Hanuman Center, and that the Bhagavad Gita programs will be intensified. Additionally, there will be the performance of Yoga sessions, meditation, and cultural programs.
We remember the passing of devotees in 2025:
Pandit Janardhana (Johannes Feistner) in September 2025 and Moti Marhe in December 2025. We thank them once again for their activities for the foundation and for their presence at various events.
