JAMMU, July 18: The 126th Birth Anniversary of Jagadguru Bhagawaan Gopinathji (Mahajayanti) was celebrated here today at the Bhagawaan Gopinathji Ashram, Udaiwala, Bohri, with great fervour, gaiety and enthusiasm.
The number of devotees who came to the Ashram from early morning went on rising steadily and the congregation swelled to thousands during the afternoon. Devotees thronged the Ashram throughout the day to pay obeisance at the feet of the Master. The Ashram at Bohri is a Sidh-Peeth for the devotees. The prayers of the devotees are answered; their spiritual and mundane concerns get fulfilled.
The programme started with Paduka Poojan at 8:30 a.m., that is worshipping a symbolic Paduka (a wooden Kharavoon) of Bhagawaanji’s. Then hundreds of Sadhus were fed, and gave dakshina (cash offerings). The same has been the practice during Bhagawaanji’s life-time.
Devotional songs and music followed, and continued till late in the evening. The evening Aarti concluded at 7:15 p.m. There was an intense spiritual activity throughout the day. Thousands of devotees partook of the prasad. All the function passed off peacefully, thanks to the orderly behaviour of the devotees and the presence of police personnel at the premises.
