A Glorious Mission
Malini
Bengaluru
Pranaam to H H Maa Purnananda ji.
Every one of us would have certainly wondered about the 10-day Lunar mission of Artemis Ii. Every moment was planned with such precision and all the panic situations were handled perfectly. I experienced something similar last month! Suddenly in last week of May, I received dates for Maa ji’s South visit. To my surprise Maa ji was coming in June first week. I was totally unprepared at that time, because some repair works, cleaning the house and buying new things and preparing the invite all had to be completed before Maa ji’s arrival. I knew plan had to be perfect, since the mission was not going to moon; but Sree Guru Bhagwan was coming to our house!
This time Maa ji’s South visit comprised of arriving at Bengaluru, then visiting Pondicherry and returning back from Chennai. On 5th June’26 Friday, Maa ji arrived at Bengaluru. My son Chaithanya and myself went to the airport to receive Maa ji. On the way back from airport, Maa ji fondly remembered Late Sri. Murali ji, as he used to drive Maa ji during Her Dubai visits when we were there. Now, with his son driving Her in Bengaluru; it was a touching moment for all of us.
After arriving home, Radha and Krishna ji joined us in welcoming Maa ji with Purnakumbh. Maaji was very happy to see Radha and Krishna ji and they were discussing so many things. Radha ji lovingly made snacks and offered to Maa ji.
On 6th June’26, Saturday morning at 7:30 am, the weekly Sreemad Bhagawad Geeta online session was aired from our home for the first time outside SISS. The program went perfect! In the evening, Maa ji wholeheartedly agreed to chant Sree Hanuman Chalisa with me. I made Vada mala and kesari as Prasad for Sree Hanuman ji. The day ended perfectly.
On 7th June’26, Sunday morning at 11.00 am to 12 noon, there was Satsang at our house. The topic was - “Greater the Risk, Higher the Reward”. It was attended by few young people, who were meeting Maa ji for the 1st time.
The young generation was so thrilled and happy to have Spiritual conversations with Maa ji. I was so surprised to see, how Maa ji was easily conversing with them with so much love and care. Maa ji explained to them about Kul Devta and Isht Devta and why it was important for women to change their name after marriage. They were blessed to have lunch prasad with Maa ji.
In the evening, during Rahukaal, Maaji and myself chanted Sree Durga Sooktam thrice. Surprisingly towards the end of Rahu kaal, Sri Umashankar came to visit Maa ji and he also wanted to chant Sree Durga Sooktam with Maa ji. Maa ji lovingly agreed, we again chanted Sree Durga Sooktam thrice and Sree Annapurna Ashtagam as well. I made special Prasad for Mata Durga ji. Maa ji had catch-up conversations with Umashankar ji, and the blessed day ended happily.
On 8th June’26, Monday morning Maa ji and myself prepared to leave Bengaluru. Maa ji reached Pondicherry and I reached Coimbatore that day.
On 14th June’26, Sunday afternoon Maa ji reached Chennai at Sri Vineeth ji’s residence. I also reached Chennai one day earlier. On that evening there was Satsang at Vineeth ji’s place. The topic was “Panic to Perfection”. The Satsang started with few bhajans that were sung by his daughter Pragnya. Maa ji explained about the difference between “Kaal - the time” and “Mahakaal - the Timeless” and Maa ji concluded that, during panic situations we have to pray to “The Mahakaal”. The happy gathering ended perfectly with delicious dinner prasad with Maa ji.
On 15th June’26, Monday morning, Maa ji and myself left Chennai and reached our respective homes. Even though it was a very short visit, everything went perfectly well. The 10-day mission was complete.
“A well-planned Mission would end Perfectly” was the take away message during Maa ji’s South visit 2026.
Our Pranaam and sincere thanks to Sri Manish ji for giving us this wonderful opportunity to serve Maa ji. My special thanks to SISS for giving us the most inspiring weekly online “Sreemad Bhagawad Geeta, Insights into Daily Life” sessions.
Looking forward to serving Maa ji again.
Humble Pranaam
