Hari om everyone,
This year is special. We are celebrating the 108th Birthday of Gurudev. His birthday was on May 8th. So, today, ALL the children at Bala Vihar performed the Gurupaadukaa pooja in the auditorium. The priest-led pooja was performed by the kids themselves.
The role of our role model JCHYKs was to set up the seating and pooja plates for everyone! We needed close to 175 plates. As a group, they divided the work of laying the sheets for seating; getting the plates ready with - Gurudev's picture, flowers, akShataa, and raisins; and setting the plates in an orderly manner.
They got the place ready well in time before the rest of the grades joined us in the auditorium. The pooja went well, as planned. Since it was also Shankara jayanti, Shankaraachaarya pooja was performed at the main altar as well.
Below are the pictures of the preparations as well as the pooja. Videos were shared via email.
Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful moms who are the pillars of strength for all their children!
See you next week.
Regards,
Rashmi and Sirisha.
