Vishwakarma
Puja in Omkarananda Ashram Himalayas,
17th
September 2011
Every year on the 17th
day of September month the Lord of workmanship and divine
architecture, Vishwakarma, is being honoured in a graceful, joyous
and divine way in Omkarananda Ashram Himalayas.
The carpenter workshop
and other working places were thoroughly cleaned and different
kinds of tools were nicely put in front of an Altar, one by one,
in a row, like screwdriver, hammer, chisel, plier, etc. and on
each tool was tied a red holy thread.
In the middle of a
beautifully erected Altar, surrounded by fragrant flowers and
burning incense, the Lord of all works and of all activities,
Vishwakarma, was placed and worshipped.
One of the Omkarananda
Ashram Priests, Shri Mukesh Vyas and his assistant, first
performed a Puja followed by a Yajna. Every worker of Omkarananda
Ashram Himalayas attended this prayer. Swami Vishveshwarananda and
Kumari Somashekhari were requested by the workers to join the
Yajna. The entire place was full of the holy smoke and the
fragrance of the Yajna, which was a great blessing for the entire
maintenance staff, who joined the prayers.

Swami Vishveshwarananda
thanked all the workers for all their hard and faithful works
during the past year. He also mentioned that everybody should feel
that not he, but Lord Vishwakarma, is finally doing the work. The
more they are having this feeling in their heart, the better the
workmanship will be. Swamiji also said, that we all shall be very
grateful to Paramahamsa Omkarananda Saraswati, who has given to
each and everybody the opportunity to build up a heaven on earth.
In the end of the
function different kinds of Prasadam in form of fruits and sweets
were distributed to everybody.
