Journey to India 24-25, 10: Master CVV Guru Pujas in Visakhapatnam
Journey Part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, Summary
The Master CVV Guru Puja celebrations started on January 10th in the evening. I already went there two hours before the start of the celebration to meet friends and to observe how the site was being put up with many volunteers helping to set up the hall and the altar, beautifully arranging the images of the Masters with many flower garlands.
As always, there are three great rituals during the Guru Pujas. On Jan. 11th, it started with the Water Ritual, singing hymns to Rudra.
At the second day, there was the puja to the Divine Mother, the Lalita Puja conducted by women only.
On the third day there was the great Fire Ritual.
During the Guru Pujas were given many talks, book publications and also musical presentations.
12th of January, there was the Fusion of East and West function, where members of the Western Brotherhood were invited to the stage for the morning prayer and also sang the Aswins hymn together which we had learnt during the group living. Later, four members were invited to speak to the groups.
I gave a talk about “The Sprouting of Spiritual Seeds. Time Cycles, Centennial Conclaves of Spiritual Hierarchy and the Importance of the Year 2025” (24 min). Activate ‘Subtitles’ in YouTube for a better understanding, download here the subtitles transcript of the talk.)
It was a very joyful and inspiring gathering.
