The Master CVV Guru Puja celebrations started on January 10th in the evening. I already went there two hours before the start of the celebration to meet friends and to observe how the site was being put up with many volunteers helping to set up the hall and the altar, beautifully arranging the images of the Masters with many flower garlands.

As always, there are three great rituals during the Guru Pujas. On Jan. 11th, it started with the Water Ritual, singing hymns to Rudra.
