Thursday, 18, March 2010 - Bhagavatha Saptaaha Yajnam - Day 2
This morning, on the second day of the Bhagavatha Saptaaha Yajna,
proceedings began at the scheduled hour, at 8:30, after half-an-hour Vedam
chanting. After invocatory offering, commenting on the glory of the Avatar of
the Age, the Maharaj went on expounding on the greater efficacy of Namasmarana,
bursting out with a melodious rendering "Sriman Narayana Narayana Narayana..."
, a keertan he quite often repeats in between the commentary.
Starting from where he had stopped last evening, he further went on
elucidating the story of Raja Parikshit, as to how invited the evil deeds of
Kali, which finally led him to earn a curse to die in seven days owing to
serpant bite, and the king's greater urge to attain liberation in seven days.
As the narration continued, Bhagawan arrived at 10:10 for a complete
round. After an elaborate, slow round granting Darshan, Bhagawan came on stage
at 10:23 and sat through the entire session that ended at 11:30, when Arathi
was offered. Subsequently, Bhagawan called an Iranian boy, studying in Primary
School, onstage, asking him to chant Durga Suktam followed by Rudram. His
little brother, another primary school child, was also called and Bhagawan
interacted with the boys for some time. Moving off the dais, Bhagawan blessed
sweets for Primary School, and as He was going back, He stopped for a while to
watch the distribution, ensuring sweets for every student.. He came back to the
Bhajan Hall to spent next fifteen minutes inside before emerging at 12:10 to
retire to Yajur Mandiram.
