SUMMARY:Fifth Pujya Swami Dayananda Saraswati Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:INDICA is pleased to announce the fifth Pujya Swami Dayananda Saraswati Memorial Lecture on Saturday\, 26 September 2026 at 5:30 pm IST. The lecture will be delivered by Shri Rajiv Malhotra\, Founder Infinity Foundation. \nAbout Pujya Swami Dayananda Saraswati \nPujya Swami Dayananda Saraswati (1930–2015) was one of the greatest teachers of Advaita Vedanta in modern times. His teachings combined deep scriptural mastery with the rare ability to communicate timeless truths to contemporary minds. He taught that self-knowledge alone is liberation and that Vedanta is not merely a philosophy to be studied but a way of living with awareness\, intelligence\, and compassion. \nOver a teaching career that spanned more than five decades\, Swamiji founded and guided the Arsha Vidya Gurukulams in India and abroad\, nurturing a new generation of traditional teachers who continue to share the Upanishadic vision of oneness. His efforts revitalized Sanskrit learning\, Vedic education\, and the gurukula system\, bridging traditional wisdom with modern seekers across the world. \nSwamiji also founded AIM for Seva\, a movement that extends education\, healthcare\, and support to underprivileged rural and tribal communities across India. Through this initiative\, he demonstrated that dharma is not only to be known and taught but also to be lived through compassionate action and service. His leadership in interfaith dialogues and national conversations helped articulate a confident\, inclusive\, and knowledge-based understanding of Hinduism one that is rooted in Śraddhā and Ātmavidyā. \nThe Pujya Swami Dayananda Saraswati Memorial Lecture series was instituted in 2019 to honour his luminous legacy\, celebrating both his intellectual rigor and his compassionate vision. After a gap of four years\, we are pleased to continue this series as our humble offering and Guru Dakshina\, venerating his extraordinary contribution.
