His Holiness Acharya Mahashraman blessed various parts of Chaturmas Sthal with holy feet.
Her Excellency Extraordinary Sadhvi Pramukha Mahashramani Kanakprabha explained during Prime Sermon, how to give an auspicious start to Chaturmas- Chaturmas should be started with Tela (Three days continue fasting). Many Monks and Nuns are striving for this. The ritual is going to begin from tomorrow- from 6th July to 8th July 2017 i.e. Ashadha Shukla Triyodashi (13th day of the month Ashadha according to Hindu calendar) to Ashadha Shukla first Chaturdashi and second Chaturdashi (14th day of the month Ashadha according to Hindu calendar)-(this month Chaturdashi is falling on two days). Tela should be practised during these three days. Most probably these Telas may be practised in hundreds. As the fortunate opportunity of His Holiness' benign presence is also here. So it is obvious that successiveness of Meditation, Chanting, Svadhyaya- study of scripture, Anupreksha- contemplation will be remained, Samayika and listening Prime Sermon will also be followed as well. So the people who are practising Tela should make their psyche more strong and people who are not yet prepared from inside to follow this ritual should think that when we get the fortunate opportunity of practising Tela in the benign presence of His Holiness. This is a rare chance and opportunity so we should also avail the benefit of this occasion by joining this. This is a kind of Yajna. This is an opportunity for all of those who want to give oblation in this. So all should have to join this ritual of penance and strive to get benefitted.
His Holiness Acharya Mahashraman preached in today's Prime Sermon that a man should not become lazy. He should be working taking into account his health. We should be hard working and do good and wise work. If we are in habit of hard working then we have a weapon to success in our hands.
