Guest guest Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 Sai Ram! An account of the Dasara yagna... sent by a USA devotee currently living in Prashanti. Take care and God bless! yours in service, lalita Monday morning: It was thrilling to see Dasara yajna begin today! It was raining and raining hard since last night. There are tons of people here, the entrance into the Poornachandra (PC) was mostly disciplined but went slowly and the hall was soon filled up. I noticed that 3/4 of the hall (on the ladies side) was filled with the students, VIPs and staff! There was a procession as usual, from the Mandir to the Poornachandra hall. We heard bhajans and Vedic chanting a long time, then finally could see the procession arrive. Swami was wheeled onto the stage in a big chair (from Poornachandra backstage). One or two minutes after He came (nearly 10 AM!), the priests who had been rubbing the sticks together, produced the fire and lit the homa. So, I saw what I came to see! Monday evening was a program of Vedic chanting, speeches and bhajans. Swami came in the open chair and sat throughout. Tuesday morning He came at 7:05 AM (!!) to the Darshan hall in the open chair, just sat on the veranda for nearly 45 minutes then went back to the PC. . This evening, there was the same program as yesterday evening and most likely, this same program will most likely be followed through October 4th.
