Third Karuna Tripadi at New Jersy USA on 10-JUL-2004
On July 10th (Saturday), Prasad Shastri
organized a whole day program cum get together at his home for the devotees of
P.P. Nana maharaj.
The planning had started a month in advance to
gather information on bhakta-gan and then inviting them for the program. This
was the third such program being held in the US. Earlier two were more of
samuhik Karunatripadi. This time, an elaborate function was planned, as this
was falling immediately after the "guru-pornima".
There were around 10 people for the morning
session and approximately 28-30 people for the evening program.
Following were the
program details:
9.00 am to 1.00 pm
- Chakri parayan (joint parayan) of P.P.Nana's pothi
1:00 pm - Naivedya and lunch
5:30 pm - Samuhik Karunatripadi followed by Aarti
7:30 pm onwards - Bhajan
9:00 pm - Dinner/ Mahaprasad
The bhajans and
aarti's sung on the day, were mostly those that are sung at PP Nana's darbar in
Indore. People had come from neighboring parts of New Jersey, New York,
Philadelphia, and Chicago. Overall, it was a great fulfilling experience and
everyone got a chance to meet and share his or her experiences of sahavas with
P.P. Nana.
On Sunday (July
11th), some of the devotees visited Bridgewater temple, at a driving distance
of 26 miles from Prasad’s home.
