Why Guru Dakshina Divas? Why on 25th March?
"25th March" This date holds profound significance for us as it marks the anniversary of a pivotal moment in our journey. On this day in 2010, our beloved Professor Park Jae Woo, the founder of Sujok Therapy, transcended from this earthly realm, leaving behind a legacy that resonates with boundless inspiration and profound purpose.
Professor Park's departure left an indelible mark on the Sujok community, reminding us of his enduring dream—to make Sujok accessible to every individual on this planet, to see ISA emerge as the world's largest organization, and to usher in a civilization adorned with pain-free smiles. His vision was not merely a fleeting aspiration but a lifelong commitment—a journey that transcends generations.
Yet, in the pursuit of realizing Professor Park's noble mission, we recognize the magnitude of the task at hand. The growth and development of Sujok Therapy require concerted efforts, dedication, and resources. Professor Park's mission is not one confined to the passage of days or years; rather, it is a lifetime journey—one that demands unwavering dedication and collective endeavour.
In honouring his legacy and advancing his mission, ISA has taken the initiative to introduce Guru Dakshina Divas. This day serves as a poignant reminder of our interconnectedness as a community—a time for brothers and sisters in the Sujok fraternity to come together and contribute, each in their own small yet meaningful way.
Through Guru Dakshina Divas, we forge a bond of solidarity, pooling our resources to support one another and lay the foundation for a brighter future. It is a testament to the spirit of compassion, generosity, and shared purpose that defines our community—a reminder that by standing together, we can turn Professor Park's dreams into reality.
As we embark on this journey, let us draw inspiration from the legacy of Professor Park Jae Woo, and let us unite in our commitment to fulfill his vision. Together, let us weave a tapestry of hope, healing, and transformation—one small donation at a time.
