This morning, Bhagawan was ushered into the hall at 9:27 to the chants of
Vedam. Being the inaugural day of the week-long Bhagavatha Saptaaha Yajnam,
Vedam continued even after the scheduled hour at 9. Completing a full round of
darshan, Bhagawan, upon ascending the verandah spent sometime outside the
interview room before moving through the upper portico to come onstage at 9:35
through the right of Ganesha.
The dais was aesthetically decorated, with illustrious Bhagavatham scenes
prominently displayed around.
Upon coming onstage, Bhagawan lighted the ceremonial lamp officially
inaugurating the Saptaaha Yajnam. Pandit, Sri Ritu Raj Ji Maharaj and his
escorts sought blessings from Bhagawan before the commencement of the Yajnam.
Programme commenced at 9:40 with invocatory prayer "Sayeeshwaraya
Vidhmahe..." addressed to Bhagawan. This was followed by a bout of invocatory
prayers addressed to various "Gods and Goddesses". Beginning his commentary, an
intro on Bhagavatham, the Pandit attributed the epic to Bhagawan hailing Him to
be the Soul fo the Epic.
As the Pandit went on narrating the epical story, an introduction, with a
mix of commentary on the greater importance of the ongoing Divine Mission set
in motion by Bhagawan, Bhagawan moved indoors at 10 again to return at 10:25.
Upon completing the Intro at 11:05, Arathi was offered to Bhagawan before He
moved towards the Yajur Mandiram.
The Pandit had emotional words of gratitude for Bhagawan. He said,
somewhere at some point of time I would have prayed to grant an opportunity to
come and have Thy Divine Darshan and Bhagawan has given me this great grand
boon, that redeems many a life....
