July 8, 2005

On this auspicious day (as per the Indian/Hindu calendar) we had the official "Blessing Ceremony" a.k.a. the Udhoga Aarambam/Griha Pravesam. The office is in the beautiful and peaceful Jayanagar suburb of Bangalore, India. It is on the double road that connects BTM with BSK right across Angadi Silks (Girls should know this place - famous of exquisite Silk!)

My wife and I, on the instructions of the priest performed all the rituals as per the Indian tradition. This was an elaborate ceremony to invoke God Ganesha (who removes all obstacles) and the Navagrihas (the planets who affect our physical and psychological being ;-)!) and install Goddess Lakshmi (goddess of Wealth!). We also did the needful to get rid of all bad Karmas (you know who!) and invite the good ones!

Hurray! We have a full fledged office in India!

... More in next!
