Over the centuries gone by, the Royal City of Mysore has been under different dynasties like the Ganga Kings, followed by the Cholas, Hosyalas and the Vijayanagar kings,eventually in 1399, to become the capital of the Wodeyars. Today Mysore is a modern city that has still managed to retain its quaint old world charm.
The City witnessed heavy rains the previous night ( 14th July 2011) and a repeat performance from the skies was forecast on the next day as well. It did not deter the public from turning up for the Guru Purnima celebrations at one of the very nice auditoriums located in Manasa Gangotri. The green,sylvan surroundings of the campus was eye catching.
The AOL family presented a well rounded program for Gurupurnima- commencing with a Puja, cultural dance items presented by ArtExcel kids and two hours of soothing Celestial Nectar bhajans. A group of overseas enthusiasts under the guidance of one of our teachers from Bali,Indonesia joined the colourful celebrations. She sang a beautiful bhajan in Balinese and kept the audience in raptures.The Celestial Nectar evening was laced with nice anecdotes from Shri.Arunji to highlight the importance of the event. A deep full moon meditation left the audience refreshed.
