On Swamishri's last full day
in Houston, the Southwest Region held Samarpan Din, where
they recognized the sacrifices of countless devotees in organizing
and executing the Mandir Mahotsav. After Swamishri's morning
puja, a special Mahapuja Vidhi was held for all these devotees
to bring peace into their lives and to fulfill their inner
desires.
During the evening program,
the subject of how to continue sacrificing for God even after
such a beautiful Shikharbaddh Mandir has been constructed
was discussed through a skit. Kishores then demonstrated the
samarpan of their time and energy for Swamishri by presenting
a lively dance.
In his blessings, Swamishri
gave further guidance on this topic by explaining that the
most important thing to do after the construction of the Mandir
is to take full advantage of it, and increase our understanding
of our soul. "Once one has knowledge of the soul," he mentioned,
"one will not desire to indulge in the pleasures of the world."
