Geeta Jnana Yajnam
"SREEMATH BHAGAVATH GEETHA JNANA YAJNAM" is the third important festival of the Neervilakom Ayyappa Temple.
The Haindava Seva Samithi, Neervilakom is elaborately conducting the meet every year during the first week of May. The week - long annual religious meet will start on May 1. Geeta Jnana Yajnam is conducted under the guidance of Swami Vedananda Saraswati, head of Peruva Gitananda Ashram.
The first day of festival starts with a pocession from Edanattidam Temple to Neervilakom Temple. While the pocession reaches the Neervilakom temple the Swami's & spiritual leaders attending the yajnam will be greeted with "Poorna kumbas". Swami's & religious leaders from various part of kerala will attend the yajnam and deliver a religious discourse at the evening session every day.
Bhagavatham receital and the meaning will be explained to the children by the "acharyan" of the yajnam. A religious discourse will be held at the convention venue on a regular basis from May 2 to 7. "Yuvajana Sangamam (Youth meet), "Vanitha Sangamam (Womens meet), "Acharya Sangamam (Spiritual leader's meet) will be conducted during the first 7 days of the Yajnam. Various poojas like "Sarvaiswaryapuja" & "Leksmi Pooja" will be held during the Yajnam. In the evening session various cultural programmes of the Balagokulam children will be held in the temple auditorium.
"Hindu Maha Sammelanam" will be conducted on the 8th day marking the culmination of the annual meet.
The Hindu Maha Sammelanam 2010 was inagurated by Swami Vedananda Saraswati and presided by Mr. Gopalakrishnan Nair, Kadakkilethu.
It is very difficult to give a short description about Neervilakom Ayyappa Temple and my knowledge is not enough to describe about this temple. But I think this blog will be hepful to all ayyappa devotees and the intention is to give a picture about this temple to the devotees from Tamil Nadu & Karnataka who arrives at Chengannur at the time of sabarimala pilgrimage.
