Prabodhini Ekadashi
Swamishri arrived at the Abhishek Mandap for darshan. On both sides varieties of vegetables were displayed. Swamishri sanctified the vegetables by showering rose petals.
In the mandir an annakut of dry fruits, walnuts, almonds, cashews and nuts was arranged in the sanctum of Harikrishna Maharaj, fresh vegetables were arranged in the central sanctum and different varieties of fruits were displayed in the shrine of Ghanshyam Maharaj. After darshan Swamishri came to the area beneath the mandir dome, where a vegetable shop had been set up to celebrate the occasion. Swamishri’s chair was wheeled into the centre of the shop. Pujya Kothari Swami garlanded Swamishri to commemorate the diksha day of Shriji Maharaj and the parshad diksha of Swamishri. Then, one by one, Swamishri took each vegetable (radish, brinjal, amla, galka, capsicum chilly, lemon, ginger, etc.) in his hand and showed it to the devotees. The devotees feasted upon the joyous darshan of Swamishri. Finally Swamishri performed arti in all three shrines of the mandir.
