Prasanthi Update - Ganesha Immersion Day

[Guest guest]

Today the 17th was the Ganesha immersion day. It is the tradition of the Prasanthi nilayam students to prepare chariots for carrying Lord Ganesha to the mandir and then take him to the lake for immersion. This year also students had prepared different models for carrying their class Ganeshas. Colourful and innovative designs marked this years ceremony, like every year. Swami came for evening darshan in chair around 4:30 P.M and then took a look at all the chariots. Then, sitting on the dias, Swami ordered the groups one by one to come in front of him and show the same and exit. One particular model by the Ist pG students was really good, it was called "Ekadantha express" a train engine!! Similarly the charoit design by the Central Trust boys was architecturally fantastic. ISwami said that all the designs were good and the boys had put in lot of effort to please HIM. Swami blessed all the

groups, sat there patiently till every one exited, then he went to his residence and sent message that boys may come back to mandir after immersion procession is complete. He came at 6 P.M and bhajans were there. He was gracious enough to come out in the middle of bhajans and go near students and allowed them to touch his feet as a mark of acknowledging their good work. Om Sai Ram
