Aroti for the Panca Tattva Deities after the Maha-Abhisheka
Dear Devotees.
Dandavat pranams
I would like to send a short report and pics on the second part of the
Mahaabhisheka of the Panca Tattva deities.
This year there was no pushpa Abhisheka. Therefore at 10 am the Maha
Abhisheka ended and HG Hari Sauri prabhu announced that we have 2 hours
break, then we come back to the get darsan and while there will be the main
aroti to the Deities.
At 12 noon the bhoga was been offered to Their Lordships, the arati was
almost at 1 pm, The pujaris were not sure who was going to do the main arati
as HH Jayapataka Swami was supposed to do but due to his physical
limitations some alternatives were there. HH Gopal Krsna Goswami approached
me to ask Gurumaharaja, which I did. But in fact Guru Maharaja´s reply, was
that he wouldn’t be able to do full arati to the Deities. Narashimha Kavaca
prabhu came to HH JPS´s room and asked him his opinion and it was finalized
that HH Gopal Krsna Goswami does the Main arati while HH JPS does same arati
on the right side in front of Srivas Acarya. Please see pictures.
The morning Bhagavatam class was given by HH Sivaram Swami, the kirtan also
was performed by HH Radhanath Swami early morning.
HH Aindhra prabhu was leading Kirtan. At the time of the darsan arati of the
deities HH Lokanath Swami started leading a great kirtan for Their Lordships
that made all dance and sing all the time during the arati with ecstatic and
surcharged energy. It was unforgettable.
As you can see in the pics, the arrival of departure of HH JPS is an event
by itself, the highlight of all these days. Upon his arrival on the wheel
chair GM was placed on the side of Srivas Acarya in front of the altar, then
was helped by devotees to stand up with the help of the walker while 2
devotees were taking care of him on each side. Jagjivan prabhu was assisting
GM with the paraphernalia of worship. Although he is sick and physically
limited, still he could manage to be in Mayapur and do arati to His most
beloved Lords. It is only by the grace of Krishna and the prayers of all of
devotees.
Many activities are happening in Mayapur including the daily night
performances on the main stage.
I am adding in this texts an attached file with few pictures including 2
from Abhisheka, since I sent few earlier that I hope all of you got them.
Sri Sri Panca Tattva Bhagavan Ki Jay.
Srila Prabhupada Ki jay.
