On 16th December 2010, 15 devotees of Shri
Prabhuji (Dr. Ramchandra Sathaye, Pune, Maharashtra) from
Canada, U.S.A. and India, all Gujaratis, arrived under the
guidance of Shri Deepak Dani, Toronto, Canada, in Omkarananda
Ashram Himalayas.
17th December 2010
The evening brought a lot of surprise to the
disciples of Shri Prabhuji Maharaj. A beautiful function was
arranged in Omkarananda Vidya Bhawan after Arati in
Omkarananda-Kamakshi-Devi Mandir.
The hall was nicely decorated with many
beautiful lights in different colours. Apart from the devotees,
also guests from South Africa along with Swami Narasimhuluji
joined the get-together.
Shri Swami Vishveshwarananda, President
Omkarananda Ashram, welcomed all the noble souls and appreciated
their high spirits and deep devotion which they have towards
Lord Mahakala-Bhairava, Shri Prabhuji Maharaj and Paramahamsa
Shri Swami Omkarananda.
One of the highlights of the function came,
when Kumari Somashekhari performed a splendid Shivanatha Dance.
Somashekhari explained to the audience the meaning of the dance,
which was immediately translated by Mr. Dani into Gujarati.
Somaji then, together with her students Neha
and Pinky, showed their talent with several other devotional
Dances. The disciples of Sant Prabhuji were immensely touched by
Somaji’s attractive dances.

After every dance Shri Swami
Vishveshwarananda talked about the importance of the spiritual
life and the devotional Indian Classical Dance as a way to
God-experience. He also explained the great story of Shri
Prabhuji and the wonders, which happened, when the
Mahakala-Bhairava Mandir was built and Lord Mahakala-Bhairava
statue was installed.
Swami Vishveshwarananda also spoke about Gurudev Paramahamsa
Omkarananda Saraswati and the life of this God-realized Saint
and His wonderful activities in the Garhwal Himalayas in form of
immense educational works for the benefit of thousands of
children.
Shri Daniji himself translated nicely all the words of Swamiji
into Gujarati.
Soma and her students concluded the function with Omkarananda
Arati Dance.
Thereafter all the artists and the guests and devotees concerned
were offered flower malas, which was responded to by a great
clapping.
In the late evening everybody joined a Mahayajna in front of
Lord Mahakala-Bhairava, which went on till midnight.
