It may sound strange in the 21st century, and perhaps contrary to who and what I am, that I always silently romanticised the Indian Joint Family!!!....
In Prasthan Yatnam (PY) that great Indian Joint Family has materialised at a different level !!!...I would say it is a joint family with a difference...
It is also the platform which has provided a solid ground for me to pursue my spiritual journey with the very best of ingredients under one roof.
PY is truly my dream come true, for which I am deeply grateful to all its wonderful members...PY is very very close to my heart especially because it is a healthy mix of ALL shades of life and people…It is an integral part of my existence and I am incomplete without it...

I joined Prasthan Yatnam almost two years back. It has been a huge part of my life since then, and has helped me transform into a better person in this course of time. Prasthan Yatnam has given me a new definition and perspective of life and its consequent terms. It undertook me to a journey of self-realisation. Under the guidance of Raina Jethai, I entered a new way of life. I got introduced to the journey of spirituality. Her Thursday Discourses cover each and every sphere of life, starting from knowledge for a 16-year-old to even a 60-year-old. She makes sure that each and every Prasthani could understand her discourses and add a new dimension in their life every time they attend a session. I am eternally grateful to be a part of this journey, and hope to continue in future years as well🙏🏻

It's no surprise that today we can see 'Prasthan Yatnam' coming with flying colours. A psycho-spiritual organisation under whose roof lot many young and old alike find solace, has been growing from strength to strength over a period of years. I wish and pray that Almighty pours on Divine Blessings and Strength to Raina Bhattacharjee all the more to carry on the wonderful work she has been doing.

For the last couple of years, we have seen 'Prasthan Yatnam' doing a great work in its effort to bring in children and even grown-ups to a positive and spiritual space and imbibe hope and confidence in them which for some reason or other became cloudy.
I am sure that under the stewardship of Smt. Raina Bhattacharjee, PY shall see new horizons and will be embraced by more souls longing for Light...

I joined Prasthan Yatnam about a year ago, in 2023, at the suggestion of Raina Bhattacharjee, whom I lovingly call “Enai”. I got to interact with many new faces- which I found daunting at first as I am not a social person.
However, it was quite the opposite for me. I was involved in how we conduct our sessions, the work that goes on behind the scenes, and the topics chosen piqued my interest a lot.
Be it about Sai Baba, Hinduism, and so on, the topics we have had discourses on have been a great insight and a welcome relief from the monotony of life, as it forced me to think, and most importantly introspect.
As Prasthan takes this next leap forward, I wish it all the very best and I shall be there to support PY whenever and however I can.

I joined Prasthan Yatnam back in 2021 and I have changed a lot since then. The discourses have helped me a lot and now I can face any situation without much difficulty. Many thanks to all the members of PY, because they too taught me a lot of things that maybe they are unaware of but I have learnt something from everyone here. Most importantly "Meditation" alone has left a very good impact in my life. I am very grateful and graced to be a part of this family. I would be happy to see PY in future helping many other people. My best wishes and support.

A honey bee sucks elixir from any possible source available and builds honeycomb. The honeycomb is squeezed out till last drop by the society to use for its panacea quality.
At Prasthan Yatnam, Guwahati in my maiden session the experience was similar. Under tutelage of my dear friend Raina the team was trying their best to suck elixir from various sources known to them.
Their mission and objective are crystal clear that they wish to serve honey to everyone.
I wish their spiritual endeavour great success.
