A double rainbow was respecting his departure
Finally time came to see of the Lord and this year, we planned to go to a nearby Dam which is a little far but with a scenic road to drive.
This Puja was held at one friend's home and she invited a lot of friends from our society to join and accept prasad.
The evening was packed with all the ladies doing the sankirtana (enchanting slokas / bhajans) at her home and then later taking prasadam.
This kind of true socialism has a profounding impact on everyone joining the event, and it's good to see her taking the initiative always to make sure, they celebrate it in a grand way together. You won't have the same fun, when you do alone at home. She takes all the extra pain to make sure the arrangement is perfect and everyone is happy. For some, it may feel like a burden, but if you are a giver, then you know the pleasure of doing all this.
For the Lord's Immersion, we went in two cars, and this is the view of the bridge from the road.
Had to climb down a good number of steps to go to the bank.
And see what was waiting for Lord.
This is the very first time I saw double rainbows. Felt like the Lord was happy with all the rituals done this year and blessing us.
Interestingly, the cloud was clear, but as we approached towards the river bank, rain started. But everyone enjoyed and continued the procession, till they immersed the Lord.
The beauty of our culture is that, we treat God as if he is one of us, invited and honored with all rituals during his stay and farewell like us as well. Doing these rituals brings lot of positive energies to our life, and they are truly essential in the current digital situation.
I had the umbrella to save the camera, but still was half wet.
Fishermen were selling live fish, but since we won't eat on this occasion, we politely denied. They were very cheap compared to market, may be we will go some other day and get it.
The ambience was so scenic that it was feeling not to come back, and we would have spent some more time, if not wet.
She now wants to go again.
On our way back, we spent some time near the canal that was flowing all the way to the Dam, you can feel how this drive was.
She was very happy to enjoy the long drive and by the blessings of the Lord, everyone is doing fine, even though they were completely wet. When you believe, you feel the strength that the Lord gives us. Next year, we are planning to do it better, these small happiness are the true sparks of life, that helps us live it better.
