Karthika Deepotsava, recap

[Guest guest]

Karthika Deepotsava in Mysore Ashrama on

24th November 2008

 

Pujya Bala Swamiji visited the coveted " Gosai Ghat "

- a spot on Kaveri river near Sri Rangapatna town for a early morning river

bath. About 50 devotees accompanied to the river bath and were Blessed. In the

afternoon, Bala Swamiji visited the farm of

Sheshadri and witnessed " Dhatri Havana " In a brief message he said that Dhatri

Havana was our respect to Mother Earth - Dharti.

 

In the evening, being the last monday of the

important and Shiva-Sacred Karthika month, Bala Swamiji performed Abhisheka to

the Ekadasha Shiva Lingas in the Venkateswara temple. After arati to the

Sachchidanandeshwara Shivalinga in prayer hall, Bala Swamiji arrived at the

Poundareeka Ranga Sthala. Here, in the sprawling grounds, thousands of small oil

lamps had been placed in the form of a giant Shiva Linga with the SGS mark in

the middle.

Bala Swamiji lit the central lamp and devotees lit

all other lamps. It was a golden glow to behold and feel the energy of Shiva.
