Thousands of devotes from all over the world to join the 5th Pancham Dham Yatra

Pancham Dham Trust, witnessed a large contingent, more than 100 people from India traveling to Siem Reap, Cambodia to celebrate 5th Pancham Dham Yatra. The 5-day long journey began on May 31, 2022 and will commence on June 4, 2022. Earlier the Holy Yatra was flagged of by MoS, MEA and the Culture Minister. Smt. Meenakshi Lekhi, Minister of State for External Affairs also cheered for the prestigious Yatra.

Pancham Dham Yatra

Pancham Dham Trust, the flagbearer for the historic event in Cambodia, has been at the forefront of various cultural activities and has been instrumental in trying to unite the East Asian nations through the Fifth Dham initiative and help fostering the thought process viz. Sanatana dharma.

“One has to follow the ‘dharma‘ prescribed for him and it is hazardous to tread on what is ordained for another is stressed in the Gita in two places.”

Earlier, the event witnessed the Bhoomi Poojan of Dhyan Kendra at Siem Reap, Cambodia for the construction of the meditation center on 5 acres of land. The construction and overall development of Pancham Dham Nyas Dhyan Kendra will be taking place under the guidance and leadership of Sailesh Vats. Sailesh Vats is also the Secretary and a Trustee of Pancham Dham Yatra and is also the organizer of the prestigious event as well.

The foundation stone was laid in presence of leaders from all over the world including RSS Leader Shyam Parande, Business Icon, Navratan Aggarwal, the Director of Bikanervala, Aman Nath, renowned historian and recipient of the prestigious Legion De’ Honneur from the French President, Kavita Ashok Goyal, Director of Esselworld, Manoranjan Mohanty, Director ATD Finance and Cultural Gurus like Dandi Wami Anantanand Ji Saraswati ji, Mhamandleshwar Swami Yatindranand Giri Ji and Buddist Guru, His Eminence Samdech Shri Choeung Buncheo and many other high-profile delegates from leading organizations.

Renuka Pullat who has taken up the responsibility of serving humanity has also pledged her support in this mission.

Sanatana Dharma differs from other walks of life, only in having a word of sympathy and promise for every sincere conviction, wherever and whatever it may be, as constituting a step in the great ascent to the highest human perfection. ‘Sanatana Dharma‘, implies a code of human conduct, a set of tenets handed down from time immemorial. Seers and preachers of Sanatana Dharma have been providing discourses on a wide-ranging set of topics covered including the shastras and modern life, the Vedas, their content and purport, the sanskaras (purification ceremonies), dharma common to all and the duties specifically enjoined on people in the four stages of human life. Like the word ‘yoga‘ occurring in the Bhagavad Gita, ‘dharma‘ defies precise definition. It could mean one’s duties are linked to one’s class and stage in life. Or it may refer to different areas of general human conduct, for instance, discipline, manners, management, and law.

The Pancham Dham Yatra is being held from the 30th of May till the 4th of June and will be witnessing a large number of spiritual leaders all from over the globe. Apart from India, a large number of overseas Indians from other countries in South Asia will also be participating in this journey.

Vijaya ENT Care Centre today organized its International Live Revision Otological Surgery Workshop ReVision 2020, to discuss about the various revision otological surgeries at the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore. The workshop also conducted a pre-conference live temporal bone dissection demonstration session called ‘Temporal Bone-anza’. 

Vijaya ENT Care Centre organizes ReVision 2020, Prof. Dr. Vijayendra Honnurappa and team released a high quality oto-endoscopic diagnostic colour atlas entitled “Otology Demystified” during the event

The workshop which revolved around this year’s theme, “Revision Otology Surgeries” was conducted by Prof., Dr. Vijayendra Honnurappa, Otolaryngologist, Vijaya E.N.T Care Center. The workshop also saw the participation of, Dr. Sangeetha R, Consultant, Vijaya E.N.T Care Center, Dr. Nilesh Mahajan, Consultant, Vijaya E.N.T Care Center, and Dr. Vinay Vijayendra, Consultant, Vijaya E.N.T Care Center, who was the course director for the Live temporal bone dissection. The conference also honored Late. Dr. A Mahadevaiah, Otolaryngologist/ENT Specialist for his immense contributions to the field of Otology and for providing mentorships to numerous doctors across the nation. The workshop also saw the discussions of many theoretical concepts and live demonstrations of surgeries to educate the delegates.

Speaking on the ReVision 2020 workshop, Prof., Dr. Vijayendra Honnurappa, Otolaryngologist, Vijaya E.N.T Care Center said, “Revision surgeries are always complex and tricky and require far more experience which many of us have acquired after working on numerous cases. In many cases, the normal anatomical landmarks are lost, and the details of the previous surgeries may be inaccurate or missing. We, through ReVision 2020 not only taught doctors on how to tackle the complications of a revision surgery, but also the measures which can be taken during the primary surgery in order to prevent recurrences. This will ensure that medical resources are not wasted and at the same time, people do not have to waste their monetary resources on multiple recurrent treatments and surgeries to get cured of their condition.”

Initially planned for March 2020, the workshop had to be postponed due to the COVID pandemic. “COVID-19 was a huge blow to us since we were forced to cancel this big event at the very last moment after all the arrangements had been made. We discussed briefly if we should stick to the same theme this year or choose a new topic entirely. But we all agreed that this is a topic which is vital and cannot be skipped. We also decided to retain the name ReVision 2020, even after 2 years as we wanted to be resilient and finish what we started,” added Prof. Dr. Vijayendra Honnurappa. 

 

Speaking on “Temporal Bone-anza”, a Live temporal bone dissection, Dr. Vinay Vijayendra, Consultant, Vijaya E.N.T Care Center said, “The success of any good otologist can be attributed to their mastery over the anatomy of the temporal bone. The temporal bone, with all the twists and turns, provides a unique challenge to every budding otologist. The demonstration aimed to familiarize delegates, young doctors, and post-graduate students to assimilate the intricacies of various ear surgeries which will help them lay a strong foundation to become wonderful ear surgeons in the future.”

ReVision 2020 saw the participation of over 800 participants comprising Senior and Junior ENT Doctors, postgraduate students from all over the country.

Prof. Vijayendra and team also released a high quality oto-endoscopic diagnostic colour atlas entitled “Otology Demystified” during the event. “The book contains an archive of over 10,000 images of all the common and rare ear pathologies collected over the past decade which will be a great asset for every ENT surgeon and will guide them in their diagnosis,” he added.
