|
Premika Varadan-Madhuri Sakhi were then carried to the bathing tank near the big well just behind the Ashram.
|
Holding the Divine couple on His head, Sri Swamiji stepped into the tank and took a quick dip as Sri Mallikãrjuna Sarma chanted the Vedas.
With quick change of dress they were brought back to the Ashram.
|
|
In front of the Bhãgavata Bhavanam darba grass was spread on the ground and lit with fire. The palanquin carrying Premika Varadan-Madhuri Sakhi was carried to and fro over the burning darba grass. The Divine Couple was then carried into Bhãgavata Bhavanam and seated back on their Peetha.
|
|
|
With the grand Utsav coming to an end, it was leisure time and in tune with the tradition Sri Swamiji played the Indian Ludo for sometime along with three Veda Patasala students.
|
|
Keeping in tune with the tradition, the ten-day long celebrations came to a
close with 'Ãnjaneya utsav’. Hanuman Chalisa was chanted by Satish Pãtak,
Sãma Veda student of the Patasala. The Bhãgavatas present were honoured
with Ãnjaneya Utsav ‘sambãvanai’.
|
|
|
No Utsav is complete without timely and tasty food not to mention that
the foremost hospitality is feeding the visitors! |
|
‘Kudos’ to the
‘Kitchen Team’ led by Sri Kannan who prepared a variety of tasty dishes
with much fervor on all the ten days of the Utsav!
|
|
|
‘Kudos’ to Sri Swamiji’s team of young devotees who served the vast crowd, in the dining hall, throughout the Utsav with much enthusiasm!
|
On Vidayaatri day, all present were given the ‘panchalegiya’, a home medicine to help protect the digestive system thrown under pressure with a variety of dishes served thrice a day, during the ten-day long Utsav!
‘HARE RAMA HARE RAMA RAMA RAMA HARE HARE!
HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE!’
