Karkkidaka Vavu Pithrubali at Ramagiri a big success
A large scale Pithrubali ceremony was conducted on the auspicious occasion of Karkkidaka New Moon on 1st August at Ramagiri. More than 450 devout came to the ashram to conduct Pithrubali, fro various places like Kalyan, Dombivali, Ambernath, Ulhasnagar, Mulund and Andheri.
The Events: The ceremony commenced at 5:30 AM lasting till 1:00 PM. The devout first performed Bali (after a cleansing dip in the unpolluted Barvi River) under the guidance of ashram priests, followed by the immersion of the offerings in the river. This was followed by Abhishekam on the ‘Rameshwar” Shivalinga at the riverside. Each person performed the Abhisheka personally under guidance. This was followed by Mahaprasadam.
The event is conducted every year at a nominal charge for the benefit of the devout who have no similar facilities for Bali ceremony anywhere in or near Mumbai.
The usual Bali ceremony is performed on any day at the Ashram. For details click here
