Katha, Dance and Satsang on 24th
December 2010
The 11 days Omkarananda Mahotsava started on
22nd December 2010 in Omkarananda Ganga-Mata Mandir, Triveni
Ghat, Rishikesh, with a 3 days Katha function.
Shri Gopalacharya, a typical Katha Vachak,
conducted the function.
The third day of Omkarananda Mahotsava, 24th
December 2010, brought many surprises. It was the concluding day
of the Katha programme. Powerfully as ever, Shri Gopalacharyaji
started spiritual discourses and Bhajans with his musicians.
More and more people visited the place to witness and to hear
the words of the Katha Vachak.
After two hours Shri Gopalacharyaji
announced that Soma and her students will give a dance
performance. He praised Soma for her talent in the spiritual
field and appreciated the perfect skill she has in speaking
several Indian languages.
It was grand to see the smiling faces of the
dancers wearing glittering Lahangas. The sparkling atmosphere
became more and more powerful and when the musicians played,
Soma started to dance spontaneously to their rhythm and songs.
Shri Gopalacharyaji had to withhold his tears and he remarked:
"Such scenes are not even seen in the heaven." Not only
Gopalacharya, but some people in the audience too, got tears in
their eyes. Soma concluded her dance programme with the
Omkarananda Arati Dance.
Finally our Priests and others offered Arati
to Gurudev Swami Omkarananda and to the great Katha Vachak.
