Day5: Dasara Mahotsavamulu

The 5th day of the Sharannavaratrulu dedicated to the worship of the Divine Mother of the Cosmos in the form of Maha Kali began with Bhagawan ushered into the Yaga Shaala with a Poorna Kumbha after He witnessed the Gou Puja that He personally ensured the chosen couple performed with Vedic chants.

The Rudra Homam, Sahasranama Lingaarchana were performed while the Ramayana Bhagavata grandha pathanam and other rituals continued as in the first four days. Darbar Seva Chaturveda Swasti were also performed covering all the four Vedas.

The main priest elucidated about offering the Prayers to the Supreme during the Pradosha Kalam by way of chanting like Lalitha Sahasranama or Rudra Namakam saying such prayers are answered and fulfilled by Iswara. The Chief Priest also recalled how he was drawn to the second Puttaparti by Swami. Comparing the worldly living to a Puppet show He described Swami as the unseen puppeteer who pulls the strings of all the beings and enables the drama of the world to go on.

One Distinguished guest, a devotee of Baba and a disciple of Master EK spoke about gratitude to be shown and the obeisance one has to pay to one’s Guru. Thanking Swami for the darshan and the Yaga phala jala samprokshana he emphasised that Divine Love beats mothers Love and that very

Love of Viswa Janani is promoting the construction of Sri Sathya Sai DIVYAAMRITAM. He also urged upon that One should visit the Abode to experience the principle of Vasudhaika Kutumbakam and that everyone Lives here and serves with a mind dedicated to Para hitham (in the interest of the entire humanity) Education, he highlighted, should be for Transformation and the Environment is very congenial for such an evolution. He complimented those serving selflessly here are blessed with a great opportunity towards Sadaavakaasam (eternal opportunity) to serve and be with the Lord.

Another NRI who returned to India for good spoke on Sanaatana Dharma and the need for value based education, Health care and medical facilities. He appreciated the efforts being put forth to foster the awareness for providing the zero cost treatment facilities to the needy.

The evening program had in it the Sahasranama Lingaarchana as well as the Laghu Poornaahuti after which Sri Mavuduru Sathya Narayana enthralled the audience playing great raagaas on the Violin. Encouraged by a very quiet congregation of disciplined group of devotees he did not show any hesitation to sing a few kirtans himself to please the Lord.

Aarti was then offered to Swami

and the day’s proceedings concluded after the Divya Prasadam was served to one and all present.
