The Subramanya Sasti celebrations on 22nd Sunday went off very well.

 

It statred around 7:20am with Sri Swamiji himself carrying a Kavadi from

Prayer hall to the Sri Subramanya temple in SDV Temple complex.!! Please

see Pictures in dattapeetham,com site under " Latest news " More than 100

persons carried all the 16 ingridients for the Abhishekam. Once everybody

had seated, Sri Swamiji himself started the Abhishekam. All the

different materials were arranged & laid out as to what comes after what.

After a few minutes He gave the Abhishkam Vessels to Sri Datta Vijayananada

Thirtha Swamiji and went over to His room at the Back of the temple Kitchen.

Sri Datta Vijayananada Thirtha Swamiji continued the elobarate Abhishekam

which was a sight to see. At the end of it he too retired to his room for a

change of dress as most of his clothes were wet from the abhishekam

materials.

 

After the Abhishekam all the devotees were requested to go over to the

Astana Mantapa where the Sri Subramanya Homa was about to begin. At the end

of the homa Sri Bala Swamiji offered the Purnahuti & gave the prasadam to

all the sevakarthas. He then went over to the Sri Subramanya temple &

offered the final Arathi. All this was done by 10:00am.

 

Being a Sunday there was a large evening crowd. In the morning itself, Sri

Swamiji had directed the SDVT staff to arrange for the Big Ratha - for the

evening Rathotsava & deepa alankara seva -- which were not planned. The

Ratha was very elobarately decorated & it moved from Temple to dattapeetham

& came back with Sri Bala Swamiji. Sri Bala Swamiji conducted the Deepa

Alankara seva to Lord Sri Subramanya. It was very elobarate & grand.

 

This event brought the Skanda Sasti programs to an end

 

For Information to all !

 

Always in Sadguru seva

Jai Guru Datta : Sri Guru Datta
