Cherished Memoirs - 67
Sri Swamiji's Pandharpur Visit in January 2019
This series chronicles interesting experiences recounted by the devotees of HH Maharanyam Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji.
 From Jan 7 to Jan 13, 2019, HH Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji visited Pandharpur kshetra, with a number of devotees, to perform a seven-day Mahamantra Nama Saptaham.
Words can barely be used to describe the experience of all those who were there at that time. Yet, for the benefit of all of us who were not fortunate enough to be there in person, a devotee has beautifully tried to give a picture of those seven unique days in Pandharpur.
