SriSri Anna came to madurai by car on Dec-2. Sri padmanaban anna received him near the Azhagar koil entrance. Anna was in a very happy mood. He had a very good swamy darshan. He reached "Gokulam" after the darshan. The madurai devotees started arriving one by one. Anna asked Murali Mohan "what program will we have today" and said "we will have a parayanam of Bagavath Geetha". So the Geetha Parayanam started. It was wonderful to hear the whole Geetha in a single go. Anna enjoyed it thoroughly. after the parayanam the pooja was performed and srisri went to take some rest. The evening session began with a upanyasam. today the treat was "Kuchelo Bagyanam". It was a very soul rendering upanyasam and srisri took all the devotees to a state of bliss. Fortunate are those maduari devotees who were drenched in the outpour. After the upanysam Anna took some food and started to Madurai to catch his train to Tiruvanandapuram.All the devotees had come to the station to send off Anna. The Quilon mail going to Trivandrum also started late giving ample time for the devotees to enjoy with anna. Finally the train started and the devotees bid farewell to srisri. "Oh what a day it was " they could be seen talking to one another. Sathguru Krupa smarane sugam!!!
