      Devotees thronged into the Asramam on 26th of Oct, right from
early morning.  This VARIJA  is a place situated on the slope of  red
mountains extending  till the foot of the mountain that touches the
oncoming 4-lane  road along the beach road of  the Bay of Bengal.
Proper transportation facilities are not available for easy movement.
 It is difficult even for the people who are in Vizag to come here to
the Asramam.  So they expected some 2 to 3 thousand devotees on the whole.

                                                 But amazing....,
turning upside down the estimations of the organisers, devotees
poured-in   to   greet HH Sri Swamiji with birthday wishes.   This
time Swathi star came on the next day to Dipavali.  Usually it comes
on the Dipavali day itself every year.   As devotees came in, the
whole Asramam was crowded with Divine names every where.  Every body
singing the glories of HH Sri Swamiji discussing their wonderful
experiences with the other Bhagavad Bandhus.  Most of them started
chanting  of Vishnu Sahasranama Sthothra with their own group, some
doing Acharya Paduka Puja, some arranging facilities for the sake of
devotees, some moving here and there carrying message about HH and the
ongoing programme.   What a great sight ever !

                                                May we live several
millions of years in such a wonderful experience that focus on the
glory of the Divine wisdom, our "Acharya"  HH Sri Chinna Jeeyar
Swamiji, the Divine incarnation of Lord Narayana Himself.  Children,
Vedic students clad in yellow robes, were seen moving here and there,
serving devotees and making arrangements for the Pada Puja Programme
to HH Sri Swamiji.  There was a festive flash of activity observed in
every face.  They are all blessed.   Blessed are they... for having
chosen to follow the Vedic path in accordance with the tradition of
our ancient Sages and saints. 
                                      

                                                 It is a flash, out of
the curtains, radiating with the dazzling shine of Divinity, appearing
before devotees and everybody, waiting eagerly, involuntarily raised
their spirits expressing themselves with the loud sounds of Jai
Srimannarayana !  The whole Asram reverberated again and again, which
matched with the natural roaring sounds of the nearby ocean and the
scene appeared as if the Divinity was spread like wild fire
encompassing inner depths of all the world around.  Every body's heart
yearned to have the Divine Darsan of HH Sri Swamiji, and once HH
appeared before them, they suddenly got exited and reached the
ecstatic state of bliss.  HH Sri Swamiji moved to the thathched hut, a
Divine palace where thousands of devotees are waiting to have HH Sri
Swamiji's Darsan.  HH performed Aradhana as usual and started
distributing Thirttham.  Though the Thirttha goshtti was expected for
one to 1 and half  hours, it took more than 4 hours.  As the main
programme is by 11.00  O 'clock  people started coming by that time
and the estimations have turned upside down.  Organisers started
making additional arrangements for Thadiyaradhana to all the devotees.
 Great... they were successful in providing everybody  with Prasadam,
blessed by HH.

                                                 HH returned to invite
the Vedic scholar who is going to receive Jeeyar Award this year. HH
personally invited U.VE. Sriman Valayapettai Navalpakkam Krishna
Ramanuja Thathacharya Swami and took him to the main dias where the
whole programme is scheduled.  More than 10,000 devotees were present
to witness the event, ofcourse, mainly to take the Divine
Mangalasasanams of HH Sri Swamiji, specially on His Thirunaksathram day. 
                                               
                                                 HH Sri Rangaramanuja
Jeeyar Swamiji from Kakinada graced this event.  THe programme started
with Veda Santhi, when  students from 4 Vedic branches have recited
Vedic hymns.  Local Mayor,  MLA and also State Minister  attended the
programme.  Jeeyar Award was conferred on the recepient amidst great
applause.  The recepient was a great Vedic Scholar who dedicated his
life in preserving and propagating Vedic tradition.  He gave wonderful
message quoting a number of Vedic references ,  many of which are very
familiar, those, we might have heard from HH many a time in his
discourses.  Then three Vedic texts that were published by JET were
released.  The grand patron of this Vedic activity in Vizag, Sriman
U.A.N Raju released Kanva Sakha Kramam.  Maithrayini... the  Vedic
branch that has been reinstated by HH Sri Swamiji, book-1 was also
released.   
                                                 After dignitaries
addressing the audience exploring the glories of HH Sri Swamiji and
His mission, HH blessed the Mangalasasanams. The programme came to an
end with the scintillating vote of thanks from U.Ve. Sriman T.P.
Sriramachandracharya Swami, Editor Telugu Bhakthinivedana. 
                                               In the evening session,
the crackers were burnt shattering the darkness of ignorance and
egoism. It appeared that today is the actual Dipavali.  This continued
for 2 and half to 3 hours when, every student was delighted to burn
and watch the crackers lighting up.  Several designs and varieties of
crackers were specially made by the devotees of Mandapeta and the
places around. The whole gathering was awe struck at the grand
celebration. Students and devotees performed Pada Puja collectively to
HH Sri Swamiji and were blessed to receive the grace of HH Sri Swamiji. 
                                                Everybody was
extremely satisfied at the wonderful arrangements made by the local
committee members and the dedicated devotees, in facilitating the
invited devotees.  HH was continuously enguaged in meeting devotees
who came all the way from different places to take part in the programme.
                                                Howmuch ever we
describe, it is less.  It is a unique programme blessed on us to take
us more near to the goal of our life.  May everybody be blessed with
such a Divine association and experience !
                                                 
                                               Jai Srimannarayana !
