Patanjali needed to be sanctified this morning. So we were once again ready for a big Puja.
As it was left the evening before
Doing arati , offering camphor in a flame
Some month ago, by a blessed surprise, Philippe parents and me met in an ashram lost in the tamil nadu countryside a wonderful saint. As I was, for long time, looking for a siddha purusha, an embodiment of truth and divinity, I find in Swamy Siddha munar , the answer to my prayer.
So one day visiting his ashram, he turns towards Philippe, look straight into his eyes, and as I didn't knew him much at the time, he told him. "When Patanjali is coming to your land I"M COMING."
How did he know was a mystery, for I never talk to him of our idea, even of the conception of the statue.
But as we know, Saint are just one with God so, with All.
So As promised he came the day patanjali was sanctified.
(For more information about siddha munar swamy, we'll post an article about him very soon)
Siddha munar swamy blessing us with his presence. For us He's GURUJI
Moment before during a very smoky moment
The power is given to the coconut, which will in turn give it to the Murty or statue
Guruji just happy
sometimes tradition have a certain fashion trend that doesn't fit all taste !
We were told once, that we had a Red Indian life together in another life time, well it may have look a bit like this.
Guruji as a perfectionist doesn't miss any details

The holy water is carried around Patanjali and his Shesnag friend
The power is transfered from the coconut to the murty, and then receive a ritual bath called Abhishekam

Then Guruji wanted Philippe to show him all the costruction and plan of our project
In the middle of the house foundation, Guruji stopped

Then Guruji told
" Make a big meditation hall here, because many people will come. So be prepared!"
