A trivial, everyday scene... then the cross struck me. It looks like a cross that you would see in a church, big, overpowering. The trivial scene became a not so trivial one.

"With my tears,
I watered the creeper of love that I planted;
Now the creeper has grown spread all over,
and borne the fruit of bliss.
The churner of the milk churned with great love.
When I took out the butter,
no need to drink any buttermilk.
I came for the sake of love-devotion;
seeing the world, I wept. "
- Mirabai

This year, Guruji's Appearance Day was celebrated with great devotion and reverence at Sri Vitthala Dham. The sacred event commenced with the offering of 108 yajnas by devotees.
Following this, a Paduka abhishekam was performed at the lotus feet of Guruji, filling the atmosphere with divine energy and grace. Devotees were then given the rare and blessed opportunity to bow their heads at His feet and offer flowers.
As the night unfolded, everyone gathered in the main hall, seated in a traditional Indian style—on the floor in neat rows—bringing a sense of unity and simplicity. During the community dinner, heartfelt speeches were shared. Devotees recounted beautiful and personal experiences with Guruji, each story echoing the profound impact of His presence in their lives.
The evening concluded with soul-stirring Shabads sung by the Sikhis from Amritsar. Their divine music created a deeply reflective space, allowing everyone to look inward and contemplate their journey with Guruji.
It is through His divine incarnation that we have been gifted with a spiritual path and a living relationship with God. His presence continues to guide, uplift, and transform all who walk this sacred journey.
