year
1982. A Grand Sankirtan was initially lead by GM also He played kartal,
followed with a very intimate and blissful preaching class taken by HH GM.
Every one was blessed hearing GM and Hari Katha. GM also spoke about His
health
episode and Power of the Hari Nam and prayers offered by the vaishnavas

Devotees- Prabhus, Matajis and Children sang bhajans, rhymes and kirtan for
the
pleasure of GM while HH was honoring Prasadam.
It was almost like celebrating festivities during this short divine stay of
GM,
like a grand marriage function in the family, a grand auspicious ceremony,
gracious occasion, every one cooperated so submissively and happily that
that
gave pleasure to GM immensely.
GM was sent off thru VIP LOUNGE again by senior disciples, with all vip
