Fourth Day of
"Jeernodharana Rajata Bandhana Maha-Kumbhabhishekam"
in
Omkarananda Ashram Himalayas on
Sunday, 9th April 2023

The exquisitely decorated Kalasha, with the
Divine Presence of the sweet, most beautiful and benevolent Deity,
Shri Omkarananda-Kamakshi-Devi, blesses everybody with her radiant
Darshan in the morning.

After the performance of a special
Vigneshwara Puja, the Priests started the fourth Kala Yajna Shala
Puja and Homa.

At the conclusion of the Hawana in the
morning, all the three Swamis of Omkarananda Ashram Himalayas
carry Dravyam (special holy ingredients, like fragrant herbs,
etc.) to the Yajnashala for Purnahuti.

Shri Swami Satchidananda Saraswati,
Treasurer, Omkarananda Ashram Himalayas, receives the blessings of
the Arati, offered by Priest Shri Ganapatheeswaran.

The Utsava Murti of Shri
Omkarananda-Kamakshi-Devi has been nicely decorated with fresh
flowers, Sari and ornaments.

Special Evening
Puja in the heavenly area of Omkarananda Ashram Himalayas.

After sunset all proceed towards the
special Yajnashala for further important Pujas and Hawanas.

Here can be seen the vibrant and shining
area, where in the night holy worship in form of the fifth Kala
Yajna Shala Homa was performed.


Purnahuti.

To recite portions from all the four Vedas
and recite or sing divine Hymns, Prayers and devotional Songs, is
an essential part of Worship after completion of the Hawanas. Here
one can see Priest Shri Karthikeyan Kailasam, reciting the Nandi
Taalam with his powerful voice.

Priest Shri Prathap Anandham, joined by
another Priest, recites in an ecstatic way the Naga Taalam. Such
rhythmic Prayers, in praise of different Deities, exert an almost
magical charm. They are extremely lively, powerful and pleasing.
