By the immense grace of Sri Swamiji, Sri Poornimaji’s two day discourse series Bhakta Charitram in Irvine, went very well on March 18th and 19th 2023. On the evening of Saturday, March 18th, 2023, Sri Poornimaji delivered a beautiful lecture on Sri Purandaradasar at the residence of Sri Sankar and Smt Sujan. Close to 60 people attended the lecture. Sri Poornimaji started the discourse with the greatness of satsang followed by Sri Narada’s charitham and concluded with Sri Purandaradasa’s charitram interspersing with lovely kirtans and Sri Madhurageethams.
On Sunday, satsang was held at the residence of Sri Sankar and Smt Kavitha from 10am to 1p and Sri Poornimaji delivered a wonderful musical discourse on Sri Jayadevar’s life-history. The lecture commenced with an introduction to different types of devotion (bhakti) and then expounded the beautiful charithram of Sri Jayadevar followed by rendition of Ashtapathis along with the nectarine meaning for each Ashtapatis. The devotees actively took part in the divine rendition of Ashtapatis. Close to 60 devotees attended the lecture with awe and reverence.
