Gnananada Seva Samajam has been active in Canada since 60’s or 70’s. Pada Pooja to Guruji and Swami’s Padukas on the auspicious day of Full Moon (Pournami) has been practiced in Canada by Smt.
Vijaya and Shri P.S. Narayanan. They have been spreading Nama Sankeerthanam in Canada through bhajans and Radha Kalyanam. Others who have been instrumental along with them are Smt. Shanta and Shri Krishnamurthy as well as Prof. Lakshminaraya and his wife. We are fortunate enough to continue the services rendered by these devotees of Swami and Guruji. We have been doing abishekham to Guruji’s Padukas with Dinasari Vazhipaadu and chanting of Lalitha Sahasranama since 2005. On September 16, 2006 Vijaya Mami gave us Guruji’s paadukas which were given to them by Guruji at Sant Gnaneshwar’s samadi in Alandi.
