On 15/10/2015 my brother who is an advocate by profession, Mr Srinivas Rao Harkara,and his wife Vijaya performed CHANDI HOMAMU,MAHA LINGARCHANA,etc and top Pundits from Vijayawada, came over here to do the archanas and homams. It was really a great event happened in our family, and we all felt blessed. Many great scholars like Sri Subramanya Shastry GHANAPATI, and other few great upasakas also visited to bless us,which I felt it was a memorable event. Sri
Subramanya Shastry ,while giving the blessings narrated the importance of this homam being done during the NAVRATRI s, and iam delighted to know that he was honoured by the GOVT as one of the best VEDA PUNDITS and surprised to know from Mr ArvindaRao IPS , a Retd, Director General of Police,that this gentleman is only one among the few (hardly 2/3)are only available in both AP&TS put together ,who can give BHASHYAM on Vedas, in a traditional way.He was telling me that there may be some people in Tirupati, VedaPathashala, but they can only teach with reference to syllabus, in the texts, but where as, Mr Sashtry, does it in a traditional way. Here again, Mr ArvindaRao is great scholar in Sanskrit and who can give beautiful commentary on Upanishads. Luckily, he gave me a book which he has written on BhagavatGita.
In line with this, my wife Rama wanted to perform PUSHPARCHANA. On 18th October , two days later we also, performed LAKSHA PUSHPARCHANA ,with jasmine flowers,in our house,10 pundits Brahmins,had come and 10 times VishnuSahasranamarchana, along with LalithaSahasra namam, with Kunkumarchana was done, and we called only very few people mainly our family members and very close relatives,because of the space constraints .iam attaching few photographs of the Archana for better appreciation of my FB friends.
