NagarKurnool:
Sri Sri Sri Krishna Jyoti Swaroopananda Swamiji shared that dedicating oneself to worshiping the divine through rituals, vows, meditation, and chanting brings immense spiritual benefits. He emphasized that those who worship Santoshi Mata with great devotion not only receive her blessings but also gain the grace of Ganesha, which helps remove obstacles and brings prosperity and development.
Swamiji made these remarks on Friday during his visit to the Santoshi Mata Temple in the Shri Abhaya Anjaneya Swami Temple premises in Omnagar Colony, Nagarkurnool district center. He delivered an enlightening speech to the devotees present.
Swamiji explained that worshiping Santoshi Mata with white flowers grants mental strength, harmony between couples, alleviates birth-related astrological doshas, resolves problems, and promotes prosperity and family development. He stressed that true devotion in every individual leads to the establishment of an equitable society.
After his speech, Swamiji blessed all the devotees. In the Santoshi Mata Temple, the temple priest Alladi Anand Sharma performed abhishekam (ritual bathing) for the deity. Women devotees collectively conducted kumkumarchana (a ritual with vermilion).
The Lalitha Sahasranama Parayana Committee members performed a group recitation of the Lalitha Sahasranama, offered rice, and conducted Dolotsava (swing festival). They also performed Maha Mangala Harathi with special offerings to the deity. Vedashirvachanam (Vedic blessings) was given to the participating devotees.
The event featured a captivating dance performance in the form of the deity, which greatly attracted the devotees. Temple administrators Venugopala Rao, Mallipeddi Bhagyamma, Dr. Neelima, Rajeshwari, Racharla Shivakumar, Balishwari, Lakshmi, and Aruna, along with many women devotees, participated in the event.
