Pictures from Mass Marriage at Prasanthi Nilayam, 17th November 2005

[Guest guest]

Bhagawan in His infinite compassion distributed various items for the couples.

It all started on the 16th evening, when Bhagawan personally gave saris, shirts

and silk dhotis to the would-be brides and grooms. On the day of the

function, i.e., 17th, Bhagawan went round the Hall distributing Mangal Sutra.

Oh! What a great fortune, even the wealthiest would pine for such an

opportunity. The showers of grace did not stop with that, Bhagawan instructed

the organizers to bring the brides to receive a silver lamp from His Divine

Hands. Then the couples went through the rituals performed during a marriage

function. With Bhagawan, every moment is a surprise! He distributed watches to

both the brides and grooms, utensils for running the household and blankets.

When Bhagawan gives, it does not come in droplets, but in torrents. After the

tying of the nuptial knot, Bhagawan again went round the

couples, not once, but twice and blessed them with Akshata (yellow rice). Like a

doting mother, Bhagawan made it sure whether all the couples received all the

items. After the grand function, the couples with their parents were treated to

a sumptuous feast in the South Indian Canteen. Text source:
