Bhagavat Katha By Pujya Bhaishri Hosted For The First Time in Jaipur
Jaipur, famously known as the Pink City, hosted a Shrimad Bhagavat Katha by Pujya Bhaishri from 25th December 2010 to 1st January 2011. Jaipur is the pious land of Mevad whereby saint Meerabai’s bhakti (devotion) was very well spread and recognized. Shri Ramdasji Agrawal, sitting MP of Jaipur, was the main sponsor of this katha.
On the first day, the Shobha Yatra set out from Shri Radha Krishna temple to the katha venue with bhajans and several instruments being played by devotees amongst a grand procession of riding elephants and horses.
The katha was inaugurated at 3pm by respected Peethadhishwarji of Bhramapeeth, Param Pujya Narayandasji, by deepa pragatya and a small speech. Other dignitaries present on the occasion also paid their tributes to Pujya Bhaishri.
Pujya Bhaishri said in the katha, “This Bhagavat katha is to experience Shri Krishna. Its purpose is not to ear money, fame or status. The katha loses its importance when other goals instead of Shri Krishna take priority”.
“Shrimad Bhagavat Katha shows us the true direction and perspective in life. It is amazing to see that the katha is resulting in the welfare of mankind in this era”.
“The main purpose of the katha is that mankind achieves peace and continues to travel towards the goal of experiencing Shri Krishna”.
Pujya Bhaishri’s narration of the katha in his uniquely emotive style provided great contentment to the hearts of the listeners. Shri Krishna pragatya, Shri Govardhan pooja and Shri Rukmini vivah were celebrated with great zest and fervor.
Several politicians and industrialists came to share the joy of listening to this divine katha. The devotees were Jaipur were filled with bliss but sad to see the katha end on 1st January 2011.
