This is the pattern of Udayasthamana sapthaham. Every year in Chembur Udhayasthaman sapthaham is held.Sri Anna founded the Akhila Bharatha Sadhu Sangam at Mumbai 35 years back, and has been visiting Mumbai all the years thence. For the past 5 years Sri Hari Anna is conducting this uthsavam instead.From Sept 30th to Oct 7th this year the sapthaham was conducted.It was grand and crowd filled event. From morning to evening there was a huge crowd. The committee on behalf of Murugan temple as usual welcomed Hari Anna with poornakumbam. Hari Anna did the pravachanam on Vyasa Narada samvadam after the darshan of Lord Muruga.The hall was overcrowded. On the third day onwards Mumbai was flooded with heavy rains. Yet the crowd did not reduce, instead it was always on the rise. Almost 1000 devotees listened to the sapthaham with full joy.Sri Hari Anna was also very enthusiastic. In the end he cocluded “ All kainkaryaparas enthusiastically supported the event and made it a grand success. It is the will of Sri Anna that the Sadhu Sanga functions should be celebrated with grandeur. That will of his is the reason behind such success. All the devotees were touched by these words.”
