Sri Krishna Sabha,Sion, Mumbai is in its 71st year of exsistance.The
sabha is cultivating,sharing,practising the trditional procedure in
performing utsavams significant to srivaishnavism.Sri Ramanuja
Jayanthi,Sri Krishna Jayanthi,Dhanur masa utsavam are some of the
major activities.A day in a year complete rendering of Srimad Bhagawad
Gita,Sri Ranganatha Padhuka Sahasram,Desika Prabandham is also
held.This introduction apart,i wish to bringout the traditional way
they conduct the dhanur masa utsavam.Contrary to the belief ,the
trdition is not giving way to modern attractions in big cities like
mumbai.Every day during dhanur masam,a sizable group of
srivaishnavites gather at 5 30 AM coming from various parts of the
city.First aradhana to the presiding deity Lord Krishna is performed
by the priest.Daily the goshti recite
Thirupalliezuchi,Thiruppavai,Dayashathakam(on saturdays)and Godha
stuthi.The bhagavathas take out a trditional procession.A lantern and
a photo of Godess Andal is carried in the hands and goaround the mada
veedhi reciting the upanishad.As per tradition they stop in front of
houses for inmates to have a pradakshinam of bhagavathas.On return to
sabha after sattumurai,Desika Mangalam,Gopala Vimshadi are rendered by
everybody.It is sure to continue this traditional way in the years to
come.The web site of the sabha is www.srikrisnasabha.org and their e
