The devotees, camping in the picturesque resort at Araku Valley, woke up to a day that would be dedicated to the worship of the Divine Mother! The morning activity started at 5:15 AM with Omkaram, Suprabhatam and Nagara Sankeerthan. Being a Friday, the devotees paid their obeisance to Mother Durga in the form of Durga Pooja. Swami took active part and led the Pooja Himself. The ladies then took to singing bhajans glorifying the Divine Mother.

 

The Divine Mother, Swami, wanted His children to enjoy an outing in Araku Valley. The devotees spent the morning in visiting a waterfall and a chocolate factory where children enjoyed. Swami thus ensured that the local economy took benefit on His Visit to the valley.

 

The evening had wonderful keerthans sung by Smt. Kusuma and team. Regular bhajans followed after this, bringing the day's proceedings to a close with sumptuous and divine dinner prasadam. A team of devotees sat back during the night at about 1AM preparing for the upcoming day's Grama Seva!
