Atirudram 2022 by Sree Ramakrishna Bhajana Sabha – May 16-28, Bangalore

Thanks to Sri Lakshminarayanan for sharing me the invitation.

On behalf of  Sree Ramakrishna Bhajan Sabha, Bangalore, I am very pleased to share the announcement of their plan to conduct atirudram in May 2022 with the blessings of Sri Periyavas of Kanchi.

It is astonishing to know the facts behind this Sabha – it was started in 1951 but was formally registered in 2002 and since then they have been successfully doing weekly satsangs without any break – these only exhibit the sincerity and dedication of the trustees and anugraha of gurnathas. They not only do satsangs but also various other charitable activities – annadhanams, providing support for needy, promoting Sanskrit and Kannada as local language etc with the help of devotees, satsang members and philonthropists.

The specialty of the Sabha is the performance of “Abhinayam with Vesham” where the members dressed up as divine characters and enact the songs being sung during the Satsang. People of all ages participate actively in this special program. This visual treat creates a powerful impact in the minds of devotees.

As always, please extend your support when it is time!

Please visit https://www.rkbst.org (or) contact the office bearers in the flyer for any questions/details.

We wish this organization all the best to make this a grand success!

Aunm Nama Shivaya!

  1. What was the total expenditure for Athirudram 2022?

  2. Rama Rama 🌺

    In any major events, 80:20 rule proves true.

    The core expenditure will be 20% of the total outlay. Peripheral expenditure consumes 80%.

    The facility planning array is vast.

    The percentage of soap, vibhuthi in pie chart will be infinitesimal.
