"Loka Samasta Sukhino Bhavantu" 2008 was a year many would
like to forget. Wanton terrorism and violence claimed lakhs of innocent
lives. The global economy collapsed. The IT bubble burst. Millions lost their
jobs. Companies that ranked high bit the dust. Millionaires turned paupers.
Relatively India has withstood the ravages with greater dignity than most
countries. The reason for this can be attributed in part of the natural
resilience and emotional stability of the Indian people brought about by a
greater degree of spirituality and a philosophical outlook to life. In order to strengthen the spirituality further and to provide
solace to the people in these hard times, Lakshmipuri Trust has planned to
conduct the SARVAISWHWARYA
ASHTALAKSHMI POOJA and the SRI LAKSHMI KODINAMA ARCHANAI to
coincide with the auspicious and commercially significant Akshaya Tritiya.
Also for the first time a “Special Gaja Pooja” will be conducted in which offerings
will be made nine elephants brought specially for the occasion. This grand
spiritual event being conducted for the first time in the history of
Tamilnadu, will be held over a period of 8 days from the 20th of April 2009
at the sprawling Somasundaram
Groung in T Nagar, Chennai, the spiritual nerve-centre of
Chennai. The event, which will be graced by highly revered Matathipathis and
spiritual gurus, will conducted by an elitle team of 200 priests led by the
former Melsanthis of Sabarimala Temple. More than 8 lakh devotees are
expected to visit the venue on the pooja days to invoke divine blessings. Tickets for the various poojas and offerings will be available
at main temples and several landmark institutions in Chennai city. The
detailed programme schedule and nature and benefits of the various Poojas,
Homams and Yagams to be conducted as per vedic norms will be widely
publicized through newspaper and TV ads. |
