Guest guest Posted December 5, 2002 Report Share Posted December 5, 2002 Jai Guru Datta! With Pranams to the lotus feet of our Sadguru Sri Sri Sri Ganapati Sachchidananda Swamiji: We performed Sri Katyayini Vratam here in Dallas on November 16th, 2002. About 100 people atteneded vratam and was led by Sri Sharma Shankaramanchi. Many participants said that it was very peacefull during the vratam and they experienced bliss. Function started with Sri Ganapati Pooja, followed by Guru Pooja. Then abhishekam was performed to Sri Katyayini Devi. Sri Sharmaji explained the importance of Kavachams on Kavacha Manjari CD and then we listened to Sri Lalita Kavacham. Shodashopachara Pooja was performed to Sri Katyayini Devi. All of us chanted Sri Lalita Sahasra Nama Stotram and Sri Sharmaji performed Avarana Pooja. During this chanting and Avarana pooja many have experienced bliss and it was very peacefull. Maha prasadam was served after vratam. We would like thank our Sadguru for blessing us all with such a beautifull, peacefull and blissfull function. We also would like to thank Sri Sharmaji for coming to Dallas all the way from Baton Rouge to lead us in the vratam. I believe we all were few steps closer to GOD during the vratam. We thank several volunteers who did great job in coordinating several tasks and preparing Maha Pasadam. I spoke to Sri Sharmaji today. Sri Sharmaji said, "To day is the beginning of Margasira month which also called Datta month becasuse Datta Jayanti is on 19th and main Anaghashtami day is on 27th. Every one should chant Datta Gayatri Mantram as many times as possible (minimum 108 times), listen to Dattatreya Vajra Kavacham and try to perform Anagha Vratam on the 27th. Those who perform Anagha Vratam will be blessed by Anagha Swami, Anagha Devi and Ashta Sidhis." Please visit http://www.dycusa.org/dfw for events during this month in Dallas area. Jai Guru Datta!
