Maha Ardra the final Year End Ardra are usually celebrated in ashram with great festival. This year’s Ardra is special in a sense because it’s the first Ardra puja at the new place and Gurunathan is performing the homa. It was a special, joyous night with many new faces and old joining the puja. Annandhanam was served at the end of the puja ceremony, unfortunately it had kind of became a supper because the puja finished quite late into the night. By the time the food served it has already midnight! Aum Namah Sivaya!
