15-12-2011: Bhagavan’s Nirvikalpa Samadhi Diwas, Amingaon, Assam
Started with Morning Prayer, at 5’0 clock, which continued till the prabhat feri upto 7.20 a.m. Again after a few hours of refreshment starts the Hare Krishna mahamantra at 10.30. Finishing off the mahamantra, distribution of clothes has been started among the poor people. Following that Swami Prahladananda Puri presented his speech which includes the facts & figures of Sri Bhagavan & his day of realization. After completing his speech Mrs.Juhu Chakroborty delivers her speech subsequently Mrs.Sujata Chakroborty delivers her one & ended with a beautiful bhajan. After that a team of Hajo comprising 9 women & a man sang a awesome naam (a type of kirtan done by the natives ofAssam). Thus how the morning season ends.
By 13.00 the distribution of Prasad started, which ends around 15.30 of evening. Right at 16.00 again the naam kirtan done by that group which I have mentioned earlier. This time it lasted for a long time & was far moré interesting then the morning one. Following the kirtan the evening prayer has also been done. Then comes the wonderful speech of Swami Prahladananda & Swami Apurbananda. Subsequently started the cultural program with some nice bhajan presented by Niva Di. Finally comes the most awaited speech of Swami Shankarananda ji comes which was the final thing of the day. Thus how the celebration comes to an end.
