The 4th of May 2012 marked the Appearance Day of Narashinga Dev.The Jwala Narasimha Temple in Johannesburg celebrated this glorious occasion over two days.We were honoured by the huge attendance of Devotees from various organisations around Johannesburg and other areas of South Africa. We were also graced with the presence of Swami Bhakta Dhodhayan, from Vrindavan.Puja, Maha-abishekum and yagna were performed on Friday 4th May 2012, followed by the first ever Yatra (Chariot Procession), hosted by Bhakti Marga in South Africa honouring our Dear Lord Narasimha, on Saturday 5th May 2012.
The Chariot Procession aroused the curiosity of many a resident along the route, who came out to witness and capture this great event on camera!The hauling of this gigantic Chariot by the brave and enthusiastic Devotees, with the Lord at it’s helm, was made to feel like an effortless exercise despite the weight and size of it!It was indeed a moving spiritual experience that many of us will never forget!
In Kwa-Zulu Natal, the Shanta-Narasimha Temple observed the day on the 4th of May 2012. Many people from afar attended the Kalash Puja, abishekam and Havan that were performed.
Jai Shri Narashinga Dev !Jai Shri Mahavatar Kriya Babaji!Jai Shri Swami Vishwananda Maha Prabhu!
