Mangalore, November 6: Shri Shanaishchara Seva Samiti, an organisation of Hindu devotees in Dubai will be organising a grand Sri Shanaishchara puja under the leadership of Odiyoor Sri Gurudevadatta Samsthanam seer Sri Gurudevananda Swami at JSS School auditorium on Dubai Sheikh Zaid Road in Dubai on November 23.

Other than Odiyoor seer, Sadhvi Sri Mathanandamayi of the mutt will also bless the occasion. All religious rituals including prathishtapane, pravachana and mahamangalarati will be performed by Gurudevananda Swami.

Karnoor Mohan Rai, one of the coordinators, said that about 400-500 families in Dubai are expected to take part in the puja.

"More devotees are expected to take part in the puja this year, as Sri Gurudevananda Swami is leading the rituals in Dubai for the first time. The programme will be organiszed under the leadership of noted NRI entrepreneur and Mangalorean BR Shetty. This is for the second year that Shanaishchara puja is being held in Dubai. As many as 1,000 devotees had taken part when pooja was held for the first time last year," Mohan said.

The main objective of organizing puja is for 'shanidosha nivarana', which is to solve all problems of devotees there.

"It is difficult for devotees in Dubai to visit their home town every year to participate in Shanaischara pujas. Hence, the programme in Dubai will be of great help for devotees to offer prayers in Dubai itself. All devotees will be given opportunity to light gingili oil lamp during the puja," he said and added that the seer will be welcomed to the programme venue in a traditional manner. Noted Haridasa Sri Vadeesha Acharya will present 'Harikatha Kalakshepa' as part of the programme, he said.
