The conclusion of the
Omkarananda Mahotsava Celebrations, the 11 day long Festival, took place on
4th January 2007, which marks the day of the Mahasamadhi of our Gurudev
Paramahamsa Shri Swami Omkarananda. As every year, this day is specially
meant to invite the Sadhus for spiritual talks, for Bhajan-Kirtan and
finally for Bhandara.
In the morning special
Pujas for Gurudev and a big Yajna were conducted by our Priests. Many
devotees attended. Also many important
and leading Sadhus from big Ashrams joined this function.
When more and more Sadhus
and Sannyasis arrived, Bhajans were sung by different devotees. Some of the
prominent Sadhus expressed in their speeches their adorations for Swami
Omkarananda and his Ashram with its manifold institutions.
The whole programme was
monitored by Shri Siddhartha Krishna and special thanks for the arrival of
the Sadhus and Mahatmas were expressed by the President of Omkarananda
Ashram Himalayas, Swami Vishveshwarananda. Afterwards all Sadhus were
invited for Bhandara.
All the workers of the
Ashram had started their work already in the middle of the night before in
order to make a very good preparation for a wonderful Prasadam for the
special Sadhus who came to conclude this function. In the end a Dakshina was
given by Swami Satchidananda to every Sadhu.
