Trip to Malakheda - Details and Photographs [ITMS first yatra]

Namaskara All,
We are just back from a wonderful yatra to Malakheda today (24th July 2005), which coincides with Shri Jayathirtha's purvAradhane. It was a wonderful experience and a truly rewarding one. After the unjalOthsava (thotilothsava) we were apprised on the significance of the day by a senior acharya and we sat through till the Maha-mangalArathi was performed. In the meanwhile we also had our dhrashan of all the 5 brindavans which included that of Shri Akshobhya Thirtharu, Shri Jayathirtharu, Shri Raghunatha Thirtharu, Vyasa Thirtharu & Srikantha Thirtharu. Later during the afternoon we had our Thirtha-prasada and collected our shesha vastra (prasadam) for the seva karikrama each one of us had opted for.

I thank one and all for having co-operated in spite of incessant heavy rains during the entire day and making our first ITMS yathra a very grand success. We also hope that our future ventures will attract more and more such participation.
