Dhamshe, Goa: The younger generation should embrace modernity without losing touch with ancient Indian culture and spiritual traditions, said ascetic Param Pujya Bhaiyyaji while blessing the launch of the monthly Shiva Gyan magazine at Shiva Science Meditation Ashram in Dhamshe, Goa.
Emphasising the relevance of traditional spiritual practices in contemporary life, Bhaiyyaji said that modern living should be connected with the established paths of spiritual practice developed by ancient sages. He expressed the view that incorporating these practices into daily life could help people lead happier and more prosperous lives.
The magazine, edited by Dr. Namrata Redkar, was formally released in the presence of several distinguished personalities from the media and other fields.

The launch ceremony was attended by Sagar Jawdekar, Editor of Tarun Bharat; Vijay D’Souza, Editor of The Navhind Times; Sandeep Kerkar, Editor of Rashtra TV, Goa’s first national satellite Hindi news channel; Abhay Joshi, Senior Reporter at Doordarshan; and Panch Jyoti Gaonkar and Dashrath Gaonkar of Dhamshe, along with other prominent guests.
The programme began with a welcome address by Dr. Namrata Redkar, followed by the formal release of Shiva Gyan by Pujya Bhaiyyaji and the other dignitaries.
Taking spiritual knowledge to a wider audience
In her introductory address, Dr. Namrata Redkar explained the motivation behind launching the monthly magazine. She spoke about concerns such as increasing illnesses, strained family relationships and social unrest, discussing them from the spiritual perspective followed by the ashram, which considers karma, Vastu-related factors and ancestral influences among the issues that may affect people’s lives.
She also pointed to changing lifestyles as a factor that can compound these challenges.
Dr. Redkar emphasised that people from all castes, religions and communities should have the opportunity to explore spiritual practices. She said the magazine aims to take knowledge of Chakra Meditation and related spiritual methods to every section of society, making this knowledge more widely accessible.
The guests present at the event extended their best wishes to the magazine and its editorial team.
Sagar Jawdekar highlights the importance of preserving ancient knowledge
Sagar Jawdekar, Editor of Tarun Bharat, shared his personal experience of visiting the ashram and said he had observed an improvement in his physical discomfort.
He highlighted the importance of preserving and sharing the knowledge of mantra energy science passed down through generations of spiritual practitioners. He expressed the view that this traditional knowledge should be practised and disseminated, describing its wider propagation as a divine responsibility.
Sandeep Kerkar welcomes the initiative
Sandeep Kerkar, Editor of Rashtra TV, said he had been familiar with the Chakra Meditation and Mantra Energy Healing practices at the ashram for approximately 15 years.
He expressed happiness at seeing spiritual seekers from different parts of India and abroad travelling to Goa to participate in meditation. Kerkar also assured the gathering that Rashtra TV would help publicise the spiritual initiative to a wider audience in the coming days.
Spiritual seekers gather from India and abroad
Shiva Science Meditation Ashram has been working in the fields of Chakra Meditation and the Mantra Energy Healing Method in Goa for nearly three decades.
A large number of spiritual seekers from Goa, other Indian states and overseas attended the magazine launch, reflecting the participation of people from diverse backgrounds in the ashram’s activities.
The programme was compered by seeker Ravi Patil, while former principal Subhash Borkar proposed the vote of thanks. Dedicated volunteers of the ashram worked to ensure the successful organisation of the event.
With the launch of Shiva Gyan, the ashram aims to extend the reach of its spiritual teachings and encourage greater engagement with traditional practices while navigating the demands of modern life.
