The Californer/10314903

IRVINE, Calif. - Californer -- The Center for Inner Resources Development—North America (CIRD-NA) is pleased to announce the 2025 Jnana Yajna, a series of spiritually enriching events led by three esteemed spiritual teachers: Poojya Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha, Swami Nirviseshananda Tirtha, and Ma Gurupriya. The events will be held in Irvine, CA, the Bay Area, CA, and Columbus, OH.

This is a rare opportunity to gain direct insights from Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha, a 93-year-old revered spiritual master who has journeyed from India solely for these programs. For over six decades, Swamiji has disseminated spiritual knowledge globally, inspiring seekers through the wisdom of Vedanta and the Bhagavad Gita.

In Irvine, CA, the Jnana Yajna will feature multiple events:

• A Youth Retreat on June 7–8, 2025, is designed to empower young minds with purpose, resilience, and mindfulness, offering a chance to build meaningful connections.
• A special session for professionals, "The Art of Being Human," will be held on June 9, 2025, and will explore deeper aspects of human relationships, inner clarity, and purposeful living.
• A Bhagavad Gita Retreat from June 11–15, 2025, at the Fairfield Inn Marriott, 15011 Newport Avenue, Tustin, CA. The retreat includes discourses, guided meditations, self-reflection, chanting, and interactive Q&A, designed to help participants engage deeply with the Gita's wisdom and its relevance in today's world.

Swami Nirviseshananda Tirtha will lead programs in the Bay Area from June 18–24 and Columbus, OH, from June 24–July 1, 2025. A focused weekend retreat centered around practical applications of spiritual insights in daily life will be held in Columbus on June 28–29.

Since 2017, under Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha's guidance, CIRD-NA has hosted the Global Bhagavad Gita Convention (GBGC) at leading U.S. universities. These gatherings have promoted the Gita's timeless teachings through engaging sessions featuring leaders from business and academia.

Dr. Ravi Jandhyala, cardiologist and CIRD-NA Vice President, highlights Jnana Yajna as a unique space for deep inner transformation through direct interaction with enlightened masters. CIRD-NA president Pankaj Bhatia adds, "Interacting with three spiritual teachers in one setting is a rare blessing that fosters holistic understanding and fulfillment."

Attendees will also benefit from Satsangs, interactive sessions where seekers can engage directly with the speakers, ask questions, and resolve doubts. These sessions combine experiential wisdom with a rational, universal approach to self-realization.

All events are free and open, ensuring inclusive access to knowledge and inner enrichment.

Join us for the 2025 Jnana Yajna and take part in a profound journey toward clarity, peace, and purpose.
