Devotees from all over the South
East Region gathered in the Orange County Convention Center
in Orlando in order to offer their respect and devotion to
Guruhari Pramukh Swami Maharaj in celebration of Guru Purnima.
In this special assembly, saints
sang the glory of Guruhari Pramukh Swami Maharaj through the
verse, “Shobho sadhu gune sada saral ne…” Saints took turns
explaining different parts of the verse, describing different
virtues Swamishri possesses, including his detachment from
the world, simplicity, and vast knowledge.
Kishores also presented Swamishri’s
qualities through dramas and lively dances. They gave Shri
Harikrishna Maharaj and Swamishri a grand swagat on a dharmarath
into the assembly. Following this, Swamishri was greeted by
the Mayor of Orlando, Buddy Dyer, as well as a Commissioner
of Orange County, Homer Hartate. Swamishri blessed the assembly,
describing the qualities of a true Guru as explained in the
Hindu scriptures. At the conclusion of the assembly, all devotees
were given a divo to perform aarti of Shri Harikrishna Maharaj
and Swamishri.
