Chinmaya Padukas at Sadguru Shree Aniruddha Upasana Centres

The day after the Shree Aniruddha Pournima Utsav, the Chinmaya Padukas are ceremonially bestowed upon every authorised Sadguru Shree Aniruddha Upasana Centre. The Prayogik Upasana centres which are recognized as authorised Upasana Centres are also given the Chinmay Padukas. For such newly recognised centres, receiving the Chinmaya Padukas is much more than official recognition; it is the joyous experience of the Sadguru's living presence in the Upasana Centre through His sacred Padukas.

The Chinmaya Padukas bestowed upon every Upasana Centre have been sanctified by the sacred touch of the Shree Krupachaitanya Padukas. The Krupachaitanya Padukas are none other than Sadguru Shree Aniruddha Himself—they are His very soul, His very essence, the complete Aniruddha.

Today, Sadguru Shree Aniruddha Upasana Centres are active throughout India and in several countries across the world. Every Saturday, these Chinmaya Padukas are reverentially brought to the Upasana Centre, where the collective Upasana is performed in their presence. By praying together, Shraddhavans experience the overflowing Bhakti in its collective form. Shraddhavans believe that through the presence of Sadguru Shree Aniruddha Bapu's Chinmaya Padukas, they experience the blessed company of the Sadguru.

Shraddhavans also take these Padukas to their homes to perform Paduka Poojan. The arrival of the Chinmaya Padukas fills every Shraddhavan's heart with the same joy and reverence as the arrival of the Sadguru Himself. Therefore, devotees never speak of the Padukas arriving; with overflowing love, they simply say, “Bapu has come to our home” or “Bapu has come to our Upasana Centre.”
