Lunar Eclipse Celebration

🌙✨ 07 September 2025 night was truly divine and memorable as we observed the Lunar Eclipse with devotion, as commanded by Bhagwan Swaminarayan in the Shikshapatri. The eclipse began at 9:50 PM, and from that very moment, the entire hostel atmosphere was filled with bhakti and joy. 🙏
🎶 Students and saints together started with Kirtan Bhakti, followed by energetic Raas, and then the melodious chanting of the Shikshapatri Path. Soon after, everyone witnessed a beautiful and inspiring Charitra of Bhagwan through video vision 🎥✨, which touched every heart and deepened devotion.
📖 To make it even more engaging, a fun and enlightening KBC-style quiz was held from the Shikshapatri, where Yajurveda House and Samveda House students took part very actively. Their enthusiasm and quick answers filled the hall with excitement 🌟📚.
🎵 Later, the students enjoyed a joyful round of Antakshari, where even Pujya Swamijis joined in, singing and playing with the students. The whole atmosphere turned festive with laughter, claps, and devotional melodies 🕺💛.
🕐 By 1:30 AM, when the eclipse was completed, all students took a holy bath 🚿, performed pooja, and the Brahmin students changed their janoi by the hands of Saints—a sacred and unforgettable moment 🌺🙏.
🌟 This celebration was not just a night of devotion and joy… it was the living expression of our eternal tradition, carrying forward the values taught by Bhagwan Swaminarayan 🌸✨.
