RAJIV NAYAN AGRAWAL

ARA-----------------------------The Sri Lakshmi Narayan Mahayagya, organized at Parmanand Nagar, Parmanpur under the aegis of the great Indian sage-saint Sri Lakshmi Prapanna Jeeyar Swami Ji Maharaj, concluded on Saturday, June 27, 2026, with the *Purnahuti* (final offering) performed in accordance with Vedic rituals. On this occasion, the consecration of the idol of Sri Tridandi Swami Ji was performed amidst the chanting of Vedic mantras at the newly constructed Sri Tridandi Swami Temple, located within the Sri Tridandi Swami Mahavidyalaya campus in Parmanand Nagar.

Following the *Purnahuti* (concluding offering) of the *Mahayajna*, a grand community feast (*Bhandara*) was organized, where thousands of devotees partook of the *Prasad*. The feast continued uninterrupted from approximately 9:00 AM until 10:00 PM. Thousands of devotees—including men, women, youth, and children—arrived from far and wide to participate and receive the *Prasad*.

A large number of devotees also gathered on this occasion to seek the blessings of Sri Lakshmi Prapanna Jeeyar Swami Ji Maharaj and listen to his divine discourse. In his sermon, he shed light on various episodes from the *Shrimad Bhagavatam* and emphasized the importance of human duties, moral values, and righteous conduct.

He stated that true *Dharma* (righteousness) for a human being lies in virtuous conduct, a disciplined life, exemplary behavior, and devotion to God. Explaining the concepts of *Dharma* (righteousness) and *Adharma* (unrighteousness), he remarked that a person whose conduct, lifestyle, and daily behavior align with *Dharma* is the one who is truly religious. He urged all devotees to adopt a life guided by *Dharma*, maintain harmony in society, and make the service of humanity their life's purpose.

The successful organization of the *Mahayajna*, temple consecration, and community feast created an atmosphere of spirituality and devotion throughout the region. Appreciating the grandeur and arrangements of the event, devotees described it as a historic and inspiring occasion for the area.
