Dhananjay's First Birthday Function
According to the zodiac sign of my son, the first birthday falls on last 24.11.2006. It was a special day for me in many ways :) ;)
We were in Trichendur to say our prayers to Lord Subramaniya, who i bileive has played a vital role in my life career. We have promised to offer my son's hair to him. So we are there, on 23rd night and have booked a 'mandap' there for two and half days.
First Day : 24.11.2006We woke up early morning, 3.30 a.m. or so, (this will be the time, i used to go bed, if i were in IIT Madras... till that time we used to work in the lab).
Went to have swami darshan. We had a very good swami darshan this time, and for me personally this is the first time in my life, i was so close to 'Karpagraham'.
Then in the mandap, we conducted "Aayush Homam" for Dhananjay's health and long life. Here are some snap shots of it.
