 FACEBOOK NOTE BY VAIBHAVSINH KARNIK.

Hariom to all !!!!

Today was a remarkable day and a day of lot of happenings at SHREE ANIRUDDA GURUKSHETRAM. Today saw the beginning of two great events of this era

1. The beginning of AHSHUBHNAASHINI NAVRATRA i.e ASHWINN NAVRATRA

2. THe beginning of YADNYA being performed by our beloved Sadguru P.P Aniruddha Bapu

The beginning of AHSHUBHNAASHINI NAVRATRA i.e ASHWINN NAVRATRA : - The beginning of the ASHUBHNAASHINI Navtra was marked by putting up 3 NEW DHWAJ at Shree ANIRUDDHA GURUKSHETRA. As directed by our beloved BAPU , every year on the first day of the ASHUBHNAASHINI NAVRATRA three families replace previous year's DHWAJ by  new DHWAJ. THESE three families are 1) THE DABHOLKARS 2) THE CHAUBAL family (family of CHAUBAL AJOBAA - a great (SHRESHTHA) shraddhaavaan bhakt of P.P BAPU 3) THE MAHADHARMAVARMAN - Dr. Yogindrasinh and Dr. Vishakhaveera Joshi. These three DHWAJ were replaced at SUNRISE TODAY with the help of our GURUKSHETRAM Volunteers. This was done along with the chanting of "OM NAMASHCHANDIKAAYAY". The earlier three dhwaj will then be put up in forthcoming SHREE ANIRUDDHA DHAM.

THIS event was followed by regular NITYA POOJAN and NITYA HAVAN. After these daily rituals was the ceremony of TRADITIONAL WELCOMING OF THE TODAES of our beloved MOTHI AAI. There was procession of the nine pairs of TODAES of each of the  nine swaroopas of our beloved Mothi Aai.Our beloved P.P Nandaai, Poojya Samirdada, Swapnilsinh, Paurassinh, Pradyumnasinh were also rejoicing with all of us in welcoming the TODAES. The procession started with the traditional band followed by the Gurukshetram Volunteers carrying the the TODAES followed by all the bhaktas. This procession was a treat to watch and the traditional band was awesome, the band members were our shraddhavaans , hats off to them for great welcoming music.

After the welcoming ceremony was over the TODAES were kept for DARSHAN for all the devotees and will be kept till DASERA. Let us all take the the DARSHAN say "OM NAMASHCHANDIKAAYAY".

2. THe beginning of the YADNYA being performed by our beloved Sadguru P.P Aniruddha Bapu : As HE had said in HIS pravachan, P.P BAPU started HIS TAPASCHARYAA from today. THE SAHOPASANA also started at 8.30 am. 10 shraddhaavaans were doing the pathan in BHAKTIMAY atmosphere. SHREE RAm  to them !!!

P.P BAPU will be performing a YADNYA  at SHREE ANIRUDDHA GURUKSHETRAM everyday atleast till RAMNAVMI next year. Today all the preparations of the YADNYA were kept ready by the volunteers - THE YADNYA MANDAP, THE YADNYA KUND, THE YADNYA SAMAGRI, THE FLOWER DECORATION  etc. WE all were awaiting the arrival of our  beloved BAPU. AND the moment ARRIVED. OUR BAPU in SHRADDHAAVAAN Dress along with P.P Nandaai, P.P Suchitdada, Poojya Samirdada, Swapnilsinh, Paurassinh, Shakambhariveera, Pradyumnasinh and Dhrutiveera arrived at GURUKSHETRAM. FIRST P.P Bapu, Nandaai and Suchitdada took the darshan of GURUKSHETRAM together and then proceeded to the YADNYA MANDAP area.

THEN P.P BAPU asked Poojya Samirdada to uncover the 9ft X 7ft size Upasana frame (P.P Bapu will do the YADNYA sitting in front of this frame). GLORIOUS !!!!! JUST GLORIOUS !!!!! AWESOME !!!!! REMARKABLE !!! never saw such a frame before GREAT !!!!!, this is what everyone reacted when they saw the frame (THE details of this UPASANA FRAME will follow in next update)

In the Yadnya Mandap there were PANCHDHAATU idols of SHREE BHRAMHANASPATI (Ganpati Bappa) and SHREE AKKALKOT SWAMI SAMARTHA MAHARAJ.THE idols are not just idols but they themselves.  P.P BAPU, Nandaai and Suchitdada took the DARSHAN and P.P Nandaai lighted the SAMAYEE (Diva). Then our BAPU started the YADNYA. After finishing the YADNYA , P.P visited the area where devotees were sitting for SAHOPASANAA and gave them blessings. SHREERAm !!! GREAT !!! getting blessings from BAPU at GURUKSHETRAM and that to during the TAPASHCHARYAA period is beyond imagination. P.P Bapu then showered HIS blessings on those who were present and acknowledged everyone. P.P BAPU then exxplained the importance of HIS upasana photo to all.  More than thousand shraddhaavaans witnessed this great event.

Our BAPU has started to do whatever HE has promiosed and now it is our turn to do maximum upasana.
