CHAPTER-8

LOCATION : SHANKARANARAYANAPURAM

Today is the day of dwajarohanam. All are there in the temple including MM couple and evils. But we can't see devils anywhere.

Swamiji saw everything and everyone.

Swamiji : pantulu garu (panditji) is everything ready for the dwajarohanam?

Priest : yes Swamiji everything is ready

Swamiji once again saw everyone and noticed that devils are missing. So, he asked the same to gayatri.

Swamiji : Amma where are they

Listening Swamiji MM couple and evils frowned.

Raj : we all are here Swamiji about whom are you talking.

Even before Swamiji reply to raj there came a voice

Voice : we are here Swamiji

Everyone turned towards the voice only to see manan and cavya there with their grin. And that voice belongs to cabir.

Swamiji : you are late cabir

Nandini : sorry Swamiji

Seeing nandini saying sorry made Swamiji smile. Devils took blessings from him and pantulu garu (priest / panditji) and elder Malhotra couple too.

Soon the dwajarohanam started with the puja. Before sthapana (establishment) of dwajasthambam they made a pit where the dwajasthambam is going to be established already they removed the previous one and now the sthapana is going to happen around the loud echoes of holy mantra's chanting by priests.

Before the sthapana Swamiji gave a look towards mukti which was observed by everyone. Looking between MM couple, Evils and devils he started saying why dwajarohanam is important.

Swamiji : the wood used in this dwajasthambam is not any mere wood. The wood we use in dwajasthambam is a single origin wood where there cannot be any crack, branch, or veins. It should be a single wood which should last long that is teak wood which is not at all present in this area.

Swamiji : this teak wood they selected is the only one teak in this whole forest. This teak wood is covered by gold / silver / copper. Dwajasthambam is a long pillar-like structure commonly seen with three horizontal perches arranged on its top. These perches point towards the Garbhagriha and have tiny bells attached to them that can make pleasant sounds when the wind blows.

These three interconnected horizontal perches are called Mekhala or Mekalai. Every Dwajasthambam may not look the same As some may have only a single perch or may not have any. Instead, they may also end with a small platform for placing a deepam (earthen lamp). But the most found one is with the three horizontal perches.

The Dwajasthambam is referred to as being a medium for the Heavens to be connected to the earth, which would refer to it being a spiritual connector between us earthlings, and the Supreme Being, God.

Swamiji : when you don't know about anything then don't criticise it.

Swamiji said all those by seeing mukti. Neyonika understood that. Raj seeing all this saw towards neyonika where she couldn't meet his eyes.

After that dwajasthambam sthapana started. Every one in the village started to participate in sthapana by pulling and balancing the ropes. They didn't use cranes in this they themselves established the dwajasthambam.

After the dwajarohanam everyone started to head towards garbhagudi (sanctum). When they are going, they heard two voices which surprised devils and smile on elder Malhotra couple.

Voice : are we late?

Listening the voice and people MM couple frown they didn't miss the expressions in devils and Malhotra couple faces. There stood a couple.

Devils : DAD MOM

They are none other than RAM NAVELI and PRIYA NAVELI. Seeing them devils ran towards the couple and hugged them tightly. Manik and cabir tightly hugged Priya and navya and nandini not only hugging ram but they are clinging to him.

Seeing manik calling dad to someone else made raj jealous and hurt.

Swamiji saw towards the little family and also gave a look to raj. He blew shankam (conch).

Listening shankam (conch) everyone turned towards Swamiji.

Swamiji : everyone is here one soul is also coming soon and there starts their karma. Everyone should pay their karma no one is exception. Everyone's fate is decided on their karma. HARIHARA

Saying this he once again blows shankam (conch).

Listening Swamiji harsh and gayatri was tensed they don't know what is going to happen. Seeing them Swamiji gave a reassuring smile and led everyone to inside the temple so that puja can be completed.
