Oct. 18, 2010 (Bidadi)
-Yesterday was the end Dasara celebration. Yesterday the celebration went on the whole day here in Bidadi.
- I started my day preparing for Guru Puja, then of course attended the Pratyaksha Pada Puja and Swami's morning message. Oh, prior to that, there was Devi abishekam. Beautiful.....really nice. Yes, Swami did it.
(I think it was called Patta Abishekam)
-Swami's morning message, He showered 'blessings' to everything and everyone including to Him. That was very unique.
-Then in the same space we had cultural program. Cultural program started with performance by the Gurukal kids. It was very cute and fun. Then a few brahmacharinis sang songs. Finally....a grand finale; a surprise to everyone, the brahmacharis, brought a very beautifully decorated Devi, like a dancing procession. It was beautifully done. Look for the pictures on our website www.dhyanapeetam.org and these boys they also sang Shiva Purana.
Swami sang along with them in the beginning.
-Swami said He was so pleased with these brahmacharis. The software engineers, doctors and all kind of successful people in their career world, know nothing about Vedic Tradition, and now able to come up with this and also sang praises of Lord Shiva.
-For me, when I saw, it was like Swami gave 'birth' to these brahmacharis, the beginning of new life. Spiritual life. (have to go.....will continue)
