“Vedo khiloh Dharma moolam”
Dasara festival, a harbinger of Peace, Harmony, cheerfulness and Unity has its roots in Vedas which in turn have their source in Dharma. The Dasara celeberations that include the Veda Purusha Saptaha Jnana Yagnam within the ten-days’ program divinely ordained for the year 2023 took off as scheduled in the early hours of Sunday, the 15th October.
The whole area within the precincts and surrounding of SRI SATHYA SAI DIVYAAMRITAM wore a look of gait with every step spruced up and with every being and devotee ushered in with warmth of Love to be initiated guided and inspired to attain higher levels of wisdom.
Rithwicks in their inimitable attire got ready and prepared themselves to perform their Duties with great devotion over the next 10 days of the Divine Celebrations.
The volunteers who indeed are the closest to the Lord in the Treta Yuga and in various stages of the Divine incarnation in the Kali Yuga too ever ready to serve their Lord directly and resident in His followers and disciples have prepared themselves to usher them in and serve them with folded hands and smiles of Love.
The cows also looked awaiting the arrival of all the blessed beings.
Prayer Hall in its own effulgence got ready to receive Grace of all the Gods invited to receive the Oblations offered to them through the God of Fire-the Agni as Yaaga Shaala, the Center of all activities over the next 10 days as the seat of the Kali Yuga Avataar manifesting in His unique ways with His Divine Grace Blessings and Guidance.
Cows sheltered in their special yard-the very sight of their presence is a treat to the inner sight as well as the outer.
Swami entered Yaga Shala after doling out His Love over the cows that seem to be increasing in Numbers geometrically. In their typical way the Rithwicks devotees and volunteers ushered Him into the Yaagashaala with Poornakumbha. Akhanda deeparadhana was followed by Mandaparahana, Soura Homam and Chandi Homam performed by the Ritwicks with Vedic chanting.
Swami, at this stage ordained Shri Madhvacharya from Ayodhya to speak on the occasion. The Saint-like Madhavacharya with his authentic command on the epics in his Hindi dialect expounded the exemplary Life of Lord Rama as Maya Manusha Leeladhar and that of Lord Krishna as Leela Manusha Leeladhar.
Explaining Sri Ramas’ Leela of releasing Ahalya from the curse of Gautama; killing of rakshasas at the instance of Sage Vishwamitra; killing a female demon like Thataki and killing of Vaali he describing Sri Rama’s abidance by Dharma. Sri Rama unlike the present day leaders, he quoted was a ruler with a difference-though He was aware of the chastity of Mother Sita but yet He went on to send her away to the jungles. It’s the duty of everyone to defy adharmic act by anyone, as otherwise the Vedas prescribe that such defaulters will also be inviting the wrath of the consequences along with the Sinners committing such sins.
Madhavacharya ji went on to describe the value of offering prayers to the crores of deities present in the Cow by smothering the Sacred Divine Animal with our hands atleast few minutes every day for the same would bring in inexplicable changes for the good in those offering such prayers. Every part of the cow he said is beneficial to the human being – it’s body; it’s milk; the sacred water and the dung – help to create a healthy, peaceful and sacred environment.
In His Divine Discourse, the Lord appreciated the efforts of the Rithwicks, Volunteers who made all the arrangements possible in such a short time. Showering praise on the saint like Madhav Acharya Swami said today there are very few ascetics who really put into practice what they preach as well as utilise the precious time productively.
The cultural session in the evening wore a grand look with the sonorous Veena recital by Smt Gayatri who with her selfless Love and devotion made the musical Offerings to her Lord.
