Supriyā – Centre Secretary
The December Havan Yajna and Satsang had a very special meaning for me. As I unfortunately could not attend the ceremony planned for the actual anniversary on Friday 19th December, it was an opportunity to commemorate the first anniversary of Swami Ji’s passing along with Christmas prayers. As usual, the fire ceremony was lovely along with the chanting.
On completion of the Havan Yajna, we conducted Aarti. Following this, in order to honour the memory of Swami Ji, give our thanks to him, his teachings and devotion over many years, we each lit a candle and placed it in front of Swami Ji’s photograph. It was a special, personal moment for each one of us; sad but releasing.
It was good to be able to remember and honour him as part of a group of family and devotees who knew him well.
The afternoon followed the usual pattern of a chanting, a Sanskrit session taught by Vanessa, songs and Phil reading a chapter from his forthcoming book. Shirley read from some of the sacred books and Avril completed the afternoon by leading a meditation. Tea and cakes were then enjoyed by all. All in all, a lovely day.
