Prajna students perform Hayagri:va Puja

On the last day of summer holidays, the occasion of Hayagri:va Jayanti, Prajna children of Bay Area performed Hayagri:va Puja. With the mangalashanams of our beloved acharya the Prajna children this summer have been involved in 2 summer camps, one at Fremont and one at Sunnyvale and today they have performed Hayagri:va puja. Lord Hayagri:va is worshiped as the personification of all knowledge. "Haya" means knowledge, "gri:va" means one who holds all the knowledge in his throat. If one worships Lord Hayagri:va for mastering any particular branch or branches of knowledge, He grants it readily and sees to it that there are no obstacles to acquire such knowledge. May Lord Hayagri:va bless these children with all the knowledge they would need to start their fall classes and ensure a successful academic year. Thanks to Sheshdriji for making the photos available to us so quickly. Here is the slideshow of today's event.

Heard about the details through Sandhyaji and others too and felt so happy. Childrens' works are so nice and really amazing. We are sure that such activities will continue in future also with enriched spirits. Convey our mangalasasanams to all.
