Guest guest Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 Dear Haribhaktas, Here's the report on Gita Jayanthi held in the SF Bay area hosted by Smt. Veena & Shri Sateesh Jamakhandi. SVBM/VMS ============================================================== Dear Haribhaktas, With the grace of Sri Hari, Vayu and Gurugalu we had the good fortune of hosting the Sri Geeta Jayanti, Sri Datta Jayanti and Sri Hanumadruta at our place. Although it was a cloudy/rainy/gloomy day outside, there was no dearth of overwhelming enthusiasm amongst our SVBM members inside. The day's highlight was the presence of our respected Sri Gururajachar, who is visiting Bay Area and was glad to accept our invitation to enlighten us with his spiritual discourses. The morning sthotra pathana included Sri Venkatesh Stotra, Sri Vishnu Sahasra Nama, Sri Hari Vayu Sthuti, Sri Sumadhva Vijaya (partial), Sri BhagavadGita (15th Chapter), Sri Raghavendra Sthotra, Sri Vijayarayara Kavacha and Taratamyokta sthotras. The sthotra pathana was followed by a short discourse on Sri Dattatreya Avatara of Sri Hari and a edifying discourse on Sundara Kanda where Sri Gururajachaar explained the leela of our Sri Vayudevaru by providing the cross references of Valmiki Ramayana. The discourses took us to a different world and we were reminded of what’s next by the smell of North Karnataka Style lunch prepared by Smt. VEENA, with the help of some members. Earlier than expected, we finished the second pankthi around 3.30 pm and we were glad to see everyone, part of the extended taratamyokta Bhajane with special emphasis on the Sri Hari and Vayudevara songs. This was followed by HarivaNa Seve until around 6.30 pm. After a short coffee break, the evening discourse on Sri BhagavadGeeta was a very informative, presented with lot of devotion to quench the spiritual thirst of the members and covered the entire breadth of the great epic. Sri Gururajaachar was able to pick the best of shlokas from different chapters and it was a treat for all of us to have had this opportunity to hear him. I take this opportunity to thank Sri Gururajachar on behalf of all our SVBM/VMS members for providing us the feast of Jynana through his discourses. We are truly indebted to all the members who provided the help which made the whole function a truly memorable one. We pray Sri Hari, Vayu and Gurugalu to bless us with more satsangas of this kind. In Sri Hari Seva….
