Celebrating the New Year 2019 – Paramahamsa Vishwananda
On 31 December, New Year's Eve began just after Evening Arati in the Temple, starting with Gurudev Himself giving an inspiring message about the New Year and the potential to transform our minds. Afterwards, a video presentation of many Bhakti Marga events of 2018 was shown, and then more bhajans until the final arati with clay lamps all around. Just after midnight, the crowd moved to the upper parking lot for a very loud and exciting display of fireworks to usher in 2019, and then everyone went down to the tent for dancing.
Morning prayers began at 10:00 this year, and as is His tradition in previous years, Paramahamsa Vishwananda performed abishekam to His personal deities in front of a packed room, and then allowed everyone to come and offer water one by one. With bhajans going the entire time, and a spirited chanting of 'Vitthala, Vitthala', the afternoon ended after 16:00 with Guruji giving Vishnu Padam blessings to all.
Happy 2019, Everyone!
