The appearance of Nitya-lila pravista visvacarya Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Svami Prabhupada was celebrated by the matha devotees and members of the congregation from Mysore, Mandya and Bangalore.
In the morning, the assembled devotees offered puspanjali unto Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet as Srila Narasingha Maharaja sang Sri Guru Carana Padma and Srila Visnu Maharaja offered the arati to His Divine Grace.
After singing some bhajanas there was a class by Srila Narasingha Maharaja who spoke upon a variety of topics. Apart from speaking on the early pastimes of Srila Prabhupada, Srila Narasingha Maharaja also cautioned devotees about harboring a sentimental mentality towards guru and Krsna. He also explained that the duty of a genuine guru is to speak out against philosophical misconceptions, not simply to give generic blessings to all that cross his path.
After the class and kirtana, devotees honored the prasadam remnants of His Divine Grace.
