Paramahamsa Omkarananda Saraswati

 

Shrimad Bhagawat Katha
on the occasion of Omkarananda Mahotsava in Omkarananda Ganga Mata Mandir, Triveni Ghat, Rishikesh, from 26th December 2008 to 2nd January 2009

In honour of Gurudev Parama'hamsa Swami Omkarananda a Bhagavat Katha started in Omkarananda Ganga-Mata Mandir, Triveni Ghat, Rishikesh, near the holy river Ganga.

Pandit Rajeshwar Maharaj Ji went on to expound the Bhagava'tam with vocal and musical accompaniment at Omkarananda Ganga-Mata Mandir. From 26th December for eight days, a steadily growing audience listened to the Sangitamaya Kathavyasa with rapt attention. A highlight of the afternoon of 31st December was the presence at the Mandir of Professor Swatantra Kumar, Vice-Chancellor of the Gurukul Kangri University, Haridwar, and his wife. Swami Vishveshwarananda Ji accompanied the distinguished visitors.

Kumari Somashekhari Ji, with her students Kumaris Neha Ji and Pinky Ji, presented dances in honour of Bhagavan Shri Krishna, whose birth and childhood Pandit Rajeshwar Maharaj had described earlier in the afternoon.

Pandit Ji's full-throated Svagatam Krishna! had the hall reverberating with Svagatam Krishna!, and, age and gender forgotten, had people up on their feet, swaying and swirling in sheer ecstasy. The scene put one in mind of what it must have been like, ages ago, to experience the enchantment of the notes flowing from the Lord's own flute.
