Sri Swamiji arrives in Mysore

Pujya Sri Swamiji arrived in Mysore on 13th September at 12 noon. The joy and happiness of Guru Deva returning to Ashrama was palpable in everyone's face. Sri Swamiji went straight to Datta Temple where Arati was performed. Sri Swamiji then offered Purnahuti to the Pavamana Homa and Purnima (full moon day) Datta Homa

In the evening to mark the return of Sri Swamiji to Mysore, another charitable mobile clinic was dedicated. Sri Swamiji entered the vehicle and got the blood pressure checked by Dr. Sekhar, renowned physician of Mysore. Then Sri Swamiji inaugurated the dormitory of the Veda students which has been built atop the Veda school in Ashrama. Sri Swamiji spent joyous moments with the children.

Then in the welcome function arranged in the prayer hall, Sri. H.V.Prasad, who had accompanied Sri Swamiji, gave a speech outlining the important events of the 84 day world tour. In the discourse, Sri Swamiji stressed on the importance of equanimity in one's life and remarked "Don't hate Fate". Many people offered their respects to Sri Swamiji. Thereafter Sri Swamiji went to the Datta Venkateswara temple and performed Arati to the Lord.
