A Triple Blessing: Sri Guruji Jayanthi, Deepavali and Srimad Bhagavatam Poorthi Celebrations at Namadwaar Singapore
With the immense blessings of Sri Swamiji and Sri Madhuri Sakhi sametha Sri Premika Varadhan, Namadwaar Singapore celebrated Sri Guruji Jayanthi and Deepavali with great devotion. The occasion was especially auspicious, as Sri Swamiji’s birthday by date, his star birthday and Deepavali all fell on the same day.
On 8 November 2026, devotees gathered at Namadwaar in the morning to perform Thirumanjanam for our deities. Through the day, they prepared for the evening’s Sri Swamiji’s Jayanthi celebrations, setting up for the Padhuka Abhishekam and making the flower arrangements.
In the evening, devotees gathered for Sri Swamiji’s PadhukaAbhishekam, singing the Mahamantra, Madhurageetham and Namavali throughout. The lamps were lit not only for Deepavali but also arranged in a design marking Sri Swamiji’s 65th birthday.
In honour of Sri Swamiji’s 65th Jayanthi, Brahmasri Janardhanan ji had initiated a daily Srimad Bhagavatam parayanam beginning on Radhashtami. It culminated in the Poorthi during the Jayanthi celebrations, with the reading of the 12th and 13th chapters of the 12th Skandam.
Janaji then spoke of the immense compassion Sri Swamiji showers on each one of us, and said that all we can offer in return is to be a good child by following the path Sri Guruji shows us. He added that, as Srimad Bhagavatam is very close to Sri Swamiji’s heart, the parayanam we did together is a fitting samarpanam to Sri Swamiji on this auspicious day. Citing the example of Dhundhukari, he emphasised that even those who took part in the initiative only through shravanam of Srimad Bhagavatam receive its full benefit. He concluded the Poorthi by praying that each of us be abundantly blessed with immense Guru bhakti.
This was followed by Dolotsavam. Devotees then lit sparklers and enjoyed an array of sweet and savoury prasadam along with dinner. Coming just a day after Akhanda Nama at Namadwaar Singapore and marked by the release of the full English edition of Madhurasmaranam by GOD, this celebration of Sri Swamiji’s Jayanthi, Deepavali, and Srimad Bhagavatam Poorthi, held in grateful remembrance of Sri Guruji, made it one of the most memorable days for all of us.
May this satsang bond grow stronger and sweeter for every devotee who was part of it.
