[Guest guest]

Dear Haribhaktas,

 

Here's the report on Sri Madhva navami celebration held at the

Livermore temple. With the anugraha of Sri Hari, Vayu, Gurugalu the function

was a divine experience with about 100 devotees (mostly Madhvas) attending the

function.

 

Thanks to Sri Sateesh Jamakhandi who has captured the event in great

detail. We will post the photos of the event shortly.

Sathya

Sri Madhva Navami function was another memorable event for the Northern

California madhvas. The

day long function was attended by over 100 devotees at the Shiva Vishnu Temple

in Livermore. The

days activities started early morning with the unloading of groceries and

preparations for yet

another elaborate food preparation effort. Although lots of our volunteers have

left this place,

there was no dearth for new volunteers under the able guidance of the existing

ones.

 

The stage was being prepared with lot of pictures, Sarva Moola Granthas,

dieties, flowers, fruits,

banners and lights. Stotra pathana started around 9.15 am with Sri Venkatesh

Stothra, Sri Vishnu

Sahasra Naama, Sri Hari Vayu Stuti, Sri Sumadhva Vijaya, Sri Anu Madhva Vijaya,

Sri Raghavendra

Stotra, Sri Vijaya Raayara Kavacha and other taratamyokta stotras of other

yathis.

 

The stage at this point was set for Sri Udupi Bhandarkere Gururajachar for a

short, succinct and

apt discourse on Sri Madhvacharya's philosophy in English and Kannada. The

discourse was followed

by detailed pooja by Sri Nagesh Shastry, the chief priest at the temple. The

priest performed

Abhisheka amidst the chanting of Sri Sukta, Sri Purusha Sukta and Sri Baliththa

Sukta and also did

the Sri Hanumaan Astothara Japa.

 

After the Naivedya and Maha mangalarathi, the focus shifted to the Sri Ratha

which was beautifully

decorated with flowers, pictures, Dieties, Sumadhva Vijaya, and Sarva Moola

Granthas. The

rathostsava went for 30 minutes amidst the singing of devara naamas, Sri Hanuma,

Bheema, Madhva

songs and other yathi's songs and stothras. The rathotsava reminded everyone of

the celebrations

back in India.

 

Bramhana bhojana and lunch for the other devotees was another well orchestrated,

well organized

activity with over 20 volunteers running around, to make sure every minute

detail is taken care

of. The group inside the kitchen had prepared Keshara Bhaat, Hayagreeva, Payasa,

Mysore Paak, and

Halwa as pancha khaadya, along with Rice, Kootu, Saaru, Bonda, Pallye and

Kosambari. Everyone was

talking about how great the food was and it was surely due to the blessings of

Sri Madhvacharyaru

who is known for his NaLapaaka in Bhimaavatara.

 

After the lunch, it was time to hear yet another discourse from Sri Gururajachar

about the life

history of Sri Madhvachaaryaru. How lucky are we to have Sri Gururajachar

amongst us to enlighten

us on Sri Acharya's philosophy. He explained about the mahime of Acharyaru and

reminded everyone

of the main tenets of tatvavada. Taratamyokta bhajane in the end added more

grace to the function.

Our respected Sri Pandurangi gave a short discourse on Sri Madhvacharya's

philosophy specially

aimed towards volunteers who missed the morning session of the discourse.

 

Devotees of all ages came from different parts of California to attend the day

long function and

Sri Madhvantargata Sri Gopalakrishna provided enough Satsanga, Jnana, Energy and

Opportunity to

everyone to be in his service. Under the able guidance and leadership of our

elder members, let us

pray Sri Hari, Vayu and Gurugalu to provide us of such opportunities of

celebration in days and

months to come.
