MahaParinirvana Day, vedic temple, Montclair, CA
November 12, 2007 marked the Mahaparinirvana day which was celebrated in the Vedic Temple.
In the history of Dhyanapeetam, this is the day Swamiji's beloved Father attained the state of inner bliss and passed away, getting liberated. This day has been declared by Swamiji as the day for celebrating all those who have had a blissful passing away on account of having attended the Nithyananda Spurana Program (NSP) - the meditation program on facing death fearlessly and blissfully.
Maha Parinirvana day was observed in Vedic Temple with a Maheswara Pooja performed by Swamiji himself.
