Devotees thronged into the Asramam on 26th of Oct, right from

early morning. This VARIJA is a place situated on the slope of red

mountains extending till the foot of the mountain that touches the

oncoming 4-lane road along the beach road of the Bay of Bengal.

Proper transportation facilities are not available for easy movement.

It is difficult even for the people who are in Vizag to come here to

the Asramam. So they expected some 2 to 3 thousand devotees on the whole.

 

But amazing....,

turning upside down the estimations of the organisers, devotees

poured-in to greet HH Sri Swamiji with birthday wishes. This

time Swathi star came on the next day to Dipavali. Usually it comes

on the Dipavali day itself every year. As devotees came in, the

whole Asramam was crowded with Divine names every where. Every body

singing the glories of HH Sri Swamiji discussing their wonderful

experiences with the other Bhagavad Bandhus. Most of them started

chanting of Vishnu Sahasranama Sthothra with their own group, some

doing Acharya Paduka Puja, some arranging facilities for the sake of

devotees, some moving here and there carrying message about HH and the

ongoing programme. What a great sight ever !

 

May we live several

millions of years in such a wonderful experience that focus on the

glory of the Divine wisdom, our "Acharya" HH Sri Chinna Jeeyar

Swamiji, the Divine incarnation of Lord Narayana Himself. Children,

Vedic students clad in yellow robes, were seen moving here and there,

serving devotees and making arrangements for the Pada Puja Programme

to HH Sri Swamiji. There was a festive flash of activity observed in

every face. They are all blessed. Blessed are they... for having

chosen to follow the Vedic path in accordance with the tradition of

our ancient Sages and saints.

 

 

It is a flash, out of

the curtains, radiating with the dazzling shine of Divinity, appearing

before devotees and everybody, waiting eagerly, involuntarily raised

their spirits expressing themselves with the loud sounds of Jai

Srimannarayana ! The whole Asram reverberated again and again, which

matched with the natural roaring sounds of the nearby ocean and the

scene appeared as if the Divinity was spread like wild fire

encompassing inner depths of all the world around. Every body's heart

yearned to have the Divine Darsan of HH Sri Swamiji, and once HH

appeared before them, they suddenly got exited and reached the

ecstatic state of bliss. HH Sri Swamiji moved to the thathched hut, a

Divine palace where thousands of devotees are waiting to have HH Sri

Swamiji's Darsan. HH performed Aradhana as usual and started

distributing Thirttham. Though the Thirttha goshtti was expected for

one to 1 and half hours, it took more than 4 hours. As the main

programme is by 11.00 O 'clock people started coming by that time

and the estimations have turned upside down. Organisers started

making additional arrangements for Thadiyaradhana to all the devotees.

Great... they were successful in providing everybody with Prasadam,

blessed by HH.

 

HH returned to invite

the Vedic scholar who is going to receive Jeeyar Award this year. HH

personally invited U.VE. Sriman Valayapettai Navalpakkam Krishna

Ramanuja Thathacharya Swami and took him to the main dias where the

whole programme is scheduled. More than 10,000 devotees were present

to witness the event, ofcourse, mainly to take the Divine

Mangalasasanams of HH Sri Swamiji, specially on His Thirunaksathram day.

 

HH Sri Rangaramanuja

Jeeyar Swamiji from Kakinada graced this event. THe programme started

with Veda Santhi, when students from 4 Vedic branches have recited

Vedic hymns. Local Mayor, MLA and also State Minister attended the

programme. Jeeyar Award was conferred on the recepient amidst great

applause. The recepient was a great Vedic Scholar who dedicated his

life in preserving and propagating Vedic tradition. He gave wonderful

message quoting a number of Vedic references , many of which are very

familiar, those, we might have heard from HH many a time in his

discourses. Then three Vedic texts that were published by JET were

released. The grand patron of this Vedic activity in Vizag, Sriman

U.A.N Raju released Kanva Sakha Kramam. Maithrayini... the Vedic

branch that has been reinstated by HH Sri Swamiji, book-1 was also

released.

After dignitaries

addressing the audience exploring the glories of HH Sri Swamiji and

His mission, HH blessed the Mangalasasanams. The programme came to an

end with the scintillating vote of thanks from U.Ve. Sriman T.P.

Sriramachandracharya Swami, Editor Telugu Bhakthinivedana.

In the evening session,

the crackers were burnt shattering the darkness of ignorance and

egoism. It appeared that today is the actual Dipavali. This continued

for 2 and half to 3 hours when, every student was delighted to burn

and watch the crackers lighting up. Several designs and varieties of

crackers were specially made by the devotees of Mandapeta and the

places around. The whole gathering was awe struck at the grand

celebration. Students and devotees performed Pada Puja collectively to

HH Sri Swamiji and were blessed to receive the grace of HH Sri Swamiji.

Everybody was

extremely satisfied at the wonderful arrangements made by the local

committee members and the dedicated devotees, in facilitating the

invited devotees. HH was continuously enguaged in meeting devotees

who came all the way from different places to take part in the programme.

Howmuch ever we

describe, it is less. It is a unique programme blessed on us to take

us more near to the goal of our life. May everybody be blessed with

such a Divine association and experience !

 

Jai Srimannarayana !
