The Final Days of the Group Living
The last day of our journey started with a fire ritual in the early morning – after another bath in the Godavari river.
Around 9 we set out to the last part of our trip. After about 2 hs we left the highway at a little village and went up a hill to the Satya Narayana temple of Annavaram. It is a unique temple in so far as there Lord Vishnu and his consort Lakshmi are worshipped together with Lord Shiva – an expression of synthesis.

At a little Krishna statue with cows we were blessed with “cow water” – sprinkling cow urin

After the visit of the temple we went down to the village and were received in a house, where first there was a ritual in honour of Sri Kumar and later we were presented a delicious lunch.
The delicious lunch prepared on “environmentally friendly” banana leaves

Later we continued the journey to arrive at Visakhapatnam around nightfall.
Friday we had our final lecture in the retreat centre, ending a very profound seminar about topics of Cosmogenesis. In the evening a little ceremony closed the group living: Words of thanks were spoken and clothes distributed to all the members who have helped to realise this beautiful group living. Afterwards we all sat together enjoying a festive dinner.

” There is no deferences between Lard Shiva and Vishnu,We people Creating the main deferences between them,and we are searching for god in this world there is no god to search,god is everywhere and every human also god,we defined and bring out our inner god,The ‘Man’ is the Special among of the 84lacs lives,Man only occupies this total earth and universe,Man knows everything,But he not realizing to finding his inner god,Upanishads and Vedas says Do good Be Good and Say Good,Spread the Truth,Beauty,Happiness”,

Hi, These lines needs correction. Lord Vishnu’s Consort is Lakshmi not Parvati (Lord Shiva’s Consort).
“After about 2 hs we left the highway at a little village and went up a hill to the Satya Narayana temple of Annacharam. It is a unique temple in so far as there Lord Vishnu and his consort Parvathi are worshipped together with Lord Shiva ”
Thankyou.
