Today I did my first Upakarma. Beatiful ceremony with so much grace. We did a homa puja and all repeated specific mantras, parts from the Sandhya Pooja. I took my old sacred threads to the river bordering campus, about a 2 km walk from central campus. The prana that flowed through during the ceremony was amazing. I think having all of us doing the pooja together created an amazing energy and experience. Looking forward to doing my 1,008 mantras tomorrow.
Here's a picture from the foot journey walk on our 180 acre campus to the river. Beautiful cows and birds along the way...
Here's a view of the river along the edge of campus...an amazing walk.
and finally, here's the place where I dropped off my sacred threads to celebrate a year gone by...until next year.
Love & Jai Guru Dev
