Full Moon Temple-Program,
in Omkarananda-Kamakshi-Devi Mandir,
Muni-ki-reti, via Rishikesh, Uttarakhand,
on 26th May 2021

In spite of an unusual heatwave in North India, with Maximum Temperatures of 45 Degree Celsius in shadow even in Rishikesh-Muni-ki-reti, the preparations for the Full Moon Temple-Program in the night started already in the afternoon. Here one can see Mahant Shri Swami Vishveshwarananda Saraswati, President Omkarananda Ashram Himalayas, checking and regulating the small audio mixer machine for the smooth functioning of sound and mike system, required for the special Temple-Program.

Because of strongly rising Covid-Cases in Uttarakhand, nobody had been invited to come to the Omkarananda-Kamakshi-Devi Mandir for attending the special Program. Only the resident Priests of Omkarananda Ashram Himalayas and a few Ashramites and two Devotees were present. In spite of that, Kumari Somashekhari presented her Bharatanatyam Full Moon Temple-Dance Program with full enthusiasm and glory.

As always, Shri Swami Vishveshwarananda gave a very beautiful
and divine speech in order to encourage all.

Shri Swami Satchidananda Saraswati, Treasurer Omkarananda Ashram Himalayas,
was so kind to make a Video of this holy event.

Mahant Shri Swami Vishveshwarananda Saraswati completed
his wonderful speech with the joyous exclamation:

"Shri Paramahamsa Omkarananda Saraswati ki Jay !"
