Vajra Guru Dhondrup recital begins at Samdruptse next week

Vajra Guru Dhondrup, the recitation of Vajra Guru Mantra 12 crore times to invoke the blessings of Guru Padmasambhava for universal peace and welfare of all sentient beings, is scheduled to be held from 03 to 18 October at the Guru Rimpoche statue complex at Samdruptse in South Sikkim.

These recitals have been held for the past six years without break at Samdruptse, organized by the Samdruptse Management Committee and attended each year by thousands of devotees not only from all over Sikkim but also from Nepal, Bhutan, Darjeeling, Kalimpong and other parts of West Bengal.

As informed by Bhaichung Bhutia of the publicity wing of the organizing committee, the committee members are hoping that this year as well the prayers will receive a good attendance and participation.

He further informed that like every year, the committee has arranged transportation, meals and accommodation for monks, nuns and lay practitioners who wish to participate in the prayers. Mr. Bhutia also said that this recitation of Vajra Guru Mantra at Samdruptse had become the important annual event of Namchi receiving the participation of members of all communities through local clubs and associations and even at individual capacities.
