Friday, Feb 05, 2010 was an important date and a critical milestone on the development of this project. Achar had suggested that some initial homas and poojas are better to be done on this site to suddhify ('purify') the place before the actual construction begins. In this regard, it was suggested that we do the ganapathi homa, sudarshan homa, srisuktham and purusha suktham homa, manyu suktha homa along with hari vayu stuthi punascharana.
The main significance of manyu suktha homa is to purify the place with the offerings to Lord Sri Lakshmi Nrsimha. It is said that Bheema (who was a Vayu avatar) in Mahabharat war after killing Dushasana, took his blood in his both hands, and offered to Sri Lakshmi Nrsimha by reciting this 'Manyu Sukhtha Homa' - which helped to purify the complete place.
Hari vayu sthuthi is the rendering of a great pandit and one of the favorite sishyas of Madhavacharyar called Trivikrama panditar - after he had a divine vision of Sri Madhvacharyar and his previous avatars of Hanuman and Bheema. Trivikrama saw all the three avatars of Madhvacharyar together - each of them offering puja to their deities - Sri Rama, Sri Krishna and as Madhvacharya offering puja to 'Sri Veda Vyasar'
We started very early in the morning from Chennai at around 3:30AM and after reaching the place, the events went on till around 10:00AM in the morning for all these to be completed...
Some of the excerpts of the program can be found in the following youtube videos:

It was a great and a satisfying experience at the end of the day to have these initial homas completed in the site successfully which would have been possibly only by HIS grace.
We are anxiously looking forward to what HE has decided as the next important activity that he is going to guide us to in this herculean task!!
