It
was indeed a Golden opportunity for Shraddhavans to listen to Parampujya
Aniruddha Bapu speak during the period of his Swastikshem Tapascharya. It would be pertinent to note that Bapu had
taken on this penance (Swastikshem Tapascharya) for the welfare
of all shraddhavans.
Eklavya
Krida Sankul’s Sports Ground at Jalgaon was filled to its full capacity on that
day. Shraddhavans from all walks of life were present at the venue to listen
to their beloved Sadguru. In excess of fifty thousand people had gathered at
the venue.

The
huge cutouts of Aadimata Mahishasurmardini, Shri Swami Samartha, and Lord
Hanuman enhanced the spiritual decor of the stage. It was adorned with beautiful floral
arrangements. The entire ground was decorated with “lanterns.” “Gudi’s” which
are considered the symbol of victory of Good over Evil were also hoisted.

Needless
to say, the entire event was organized in a disciplined manner as is usually
done for all Utsavs organized by the Sanstha. Volunteers as well as devotees
maintained excellent discipline throughout the proceedings of the function.
Many people from various strata of society had the good fortune
of meeting Sadguru Shree Aniruddha Bapu after the event.
Overall, it was an event which would remain etched in the
memory of Shraddhavans forever.
