Ultimate Experience
Mythili
Bengaluru
Hari Aum! Pranams to Our GuruMaa!!
This time when I requested Maaji, the dates for Bengaluru visit, as I had planned to keep Bhagavathi Seva at my house on 30-03-2018, the dates exactly coincided with the puja dates, my joy and Grace of Almighty could not be put in words. Maaji landed on 29th afternoon at Bengaluru.
On 30 th morning Lakshmi ji & Vijay Ji had wonderful opportunity to offer Bhajan and Biksha for Maaji at their residence. I was doing preparations for the puja. Bhagavathi Seva is the ultimate puja for Devi Parvathi, The unique feature of the ritual is, the Goddess is invoked in a large lamp. The lamp is placed within an energized hand-drawn diagram created with colors that represent the five elements of the Universe.
It was a wonderful experience for all of us watching the priests doing the preparations for the puja. During the preparation there was a heavy downpour with thunderous hail storm, we felt as if Devi had came down with her Parivara Devathas. When the priest started the puja around 5:30 pm the rain completely stopped and there was an absolute silence, we felt as if, Maaji rightly said "All other activities stopped in the world & the puja was the only thing going on".
Chaithanya took Sankalpa and did puja on behalf of everyone. We Chanted Lalitha Sahasranamam Archana, Lalitha Trisathi and Lalitha Ashtothram, along with priests, one priest separately chanted Devi Mahatmyam. Puja was concluded with final arati and Prasad distribution.
31 st morning was a beautiful day, everyone still soaked in the Divinity. After lunch everybody was geared up for the evening program. Even though the hall decorations started little late, it was completed within the target time. Maaji was welcomed with Purna Kumba by Lakshmi and Vijay Ji.
Maaji with the beautiful profound topic "Samattvam Yog Uchchyatey", clearly explained, Spiritual practice should be the substratum in everyones life and should not be a balancing practice. It was a wonderful evening rejuvenating the thoughts and felt the blessings pouring. The program concluded with birthday celebrations of Master Sanatan, and distribution of Prasad.
I am very thankful to Maaji and Manish Ji for giving me an opportunity to organize such a beautiful session.
I am eagerly waiting for another opportunity to serve Maaji at Bengaluru.....
