Ponda (Goa) : The ’10th Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Rashtra Adhiveshan’ is slated to begin on June 12 at Shri Vidyadhiraj Hall in Ramnath Temple here. Saints offered prayers on 8th June at the feet of Shri Shantadurgadevi at Kavale and Shri Dev Ramnath at Ramnathi for the smooth passage of this Adhiveshan.
The national guide of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti, Sadguru Dr Charudatta Pingale offered auspicious items at the feet of the Goddess at Kavale Shri Shantadurga Devasthan and prayed to Her. H.H. Neelesh Singbal offered auspicious items at the feet of Shri Dev Ramnath and prayed to the Deities there. Shri. Prakash Naik and Shri. Sangam Borkar were also present.
Highlights
1. The priests at Shri Shantadurga and Shri Ramnath Devasthan spontaneously prayed to the respective Deities to remove any obstacles in the Hindu Rashtra Adhiveshan, for the establishment of the Hindu Rashtra as well as to bestow a long and healthy life to Paratpar Guru Dr. Athavale, founder of Sanatan Sanstha.
2. There were a few devotees who were visiting the Shri Ramnath Devasthan. Among them, Shri. Shirgaonkar, who heard the prayers being offered by the Saints, curiously learned about the work of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti. Inspired by the work, he fell at the feet of the two Saints and also asked his 5 year old son to do so,
Auspicious omens that were observed
1. While leaving for the temples, it rained till Sadguru Dr Charudatta Pingale left his residence and got into the vehicle. At this time, Sadguru Dr. Charudatta Pingale realized that it was ‘Deity Varuna blessed the Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Rashtra Adhiveshan to be successful’.
2. In Shri Shantadurga Devasthan, usually the festival idol of Goddess is on display. However when the HJS delegation went to the temple to pray for the Adhiveshan, the original idol of the Deity was on display.
3. When the HJS delegation went to the Shri Shantadurga Devasthan temple to offer prayers, the priests were offering flowers to the Shri Siddhivinayak and Shri Laxminarayan Deities in the vicinity. We felt that this was an indication that Shri Siddhivinayak and Shri Laxminarayan also blessed the Adhiveshan.
4. When the HJS delegation went to the Shri Ramnath Devasthan temple to offer prayers, 100 suvasinis (married women) were doing Kumkumarchan in the temple premises. We felt that the Adhiveshan was also blessed by the Goddess.
5. While the Saints were praying in Shri Ramnath Devasthan, musical instruments started playing in the temple and the atmosphere became enthusiastic.
