The end of the auspicious Chaturmas, Kartik Sud Ekadashi, fell on 4th November 2014. Prabodhini Ekadashi, as it is famously known, is also the first Ekadashi after Diwali. Prabodh means “to awaken.” This is the day that the Lord is said to awaken from his four-month sleep.
Shree Swaminarayan Temple Los Angeles Celebrated the event on 8th November 2014. During the congregation disciples sang devotional songs in praise of Bapashree and narrated the extraordinary deeds performed by the supreme Lord Shree Swaminarayan by manifesting upon the Earth as Jeevanpran Bapashree. Also 2 hour continuous chanting of Shree Swaminarayan Mahamantra dhoon was held. Devotees were served Panjari Prasad and the event concluded with disciples having Mahaprasad.
