Jaya Guru Datta

Dear all,

We are filled with gratitude and joy to share highlights from the historic first event held at our new Sri Hanuman Center in IJmuiden, by the North Sea in the Netherlands.

On the auspicious occasion of Adhika Jyestha Shuddha Ekadashi, marking Sri Swamiji’s 84th birthday according to the lunar calendar, we celebrated on May 27, 2026, with deep devotion and divine blessings.

The celebration began with the following sacred rituals:

• Ganapathi Puja performed by the priest from the Den Helder Sri Varatharaja Selvavinayagar Temple

• Guru Gita Parayana

• Guru Paduka Puja

• Hanuman Chalisa and Vadamala Samarpana

This beautiful gathering marked the first spiritual event at the new center, making it a truly memorable and blessed moment for all present.
