The first day early evening function was pooja to Ganga Matha which was brought for Ramanathaswamy's Abisekham. This was attended by around eight Brahmins who recited Rudram. It was a wonderful site to hear the Rudram for almost one hour. Ganga Jalam was then taken to Ramanatha Swamy temple from Sastrigal's residence.
It was a dream coming true fully. He made us come here, take Veni Mahdavar and immerse in Thriveni and He made us collect Ganga Jalam and is having abisekham for Himself...! In between He is using us as tools...! A thought of joy and scare gets in together into the minds. Joy for being in His sight to do this Kasi Yatra and scare for being good enough to stay in His sight...! In Kaliyugam, it is easy to do misdeeds and justify the same, I was requesting Him to guide us to do deeds which He saw fit to be good...! Sambho Mahadeva...! Om Namo Naryana...!
The gurukkal took the ganga jalam and poured into another vessel. This was done to put everyone's ganga jalam into a single container. Then this water was taken to perform Abisekham for Ramanatha Swamy. It's a glorious site, deep in the heart it more looked like He ordered Ganga Jalam for Himself and was getting Himself bathed in it. This was the logical completion of our Kasi Yatra. As told earlier, Ramanatha Swamy had extended plans for us, which we did not know that day...!
(To be continued...!
