Bhajan, Kirtan and Sadhu Bhandara,
at Omkarananda-Kamakshi-Devi Mandir, on 26th December 2011

In honour of Sadgurudev Paramahamsa Omkarananda Saraswati, Bhajan, Kirtan and Sadhu Bhandara were conducted for hundreds of Sadhus in Omkarananda Ashram Himalayas, at the beautiful Omkarananda-Kamakshi-Devi Mandir.

Before the Bhandara started, Shri Swami Vishveshwaranandaji, President Omkarananda Ashram, addressed the Sadhus in a speech, in which he expressed his deepest adorations for all of them, and where he also highlighted the importance of the eternal Vedic Culture.

After the Arati for Gurudev Paramahamsa Omkarananda Saraswati, all Sadhus assembled nearby the Temple for the Bhandara. They also received Dakshina from Shri Swami Satchidananda, Treasurer of Omkarananda Ashram.

It was a wonderful sight to see so many orange-clad Sadhus taking happily part in the Bhandara, organized for them in the most beautiful and divine environment of Omkarananda Ashram Himalayas.
