Satguru in Edmonton, Canada

Satguru was invited as chief guest for the Edmonton Mahaganapati Temple (mahaganapathytemple.com) kumbhabhishekam rejuvenation ceremonies. On the final day he reported, "At the temple from about 9 AM 1 PM. Started up on the roof with the auspicious moment at about 9:30 AM for pouring the kumbhas on the temple spire (they have just one spire). This was followed by pouring the many kumbhas on the various Deities, a prathistha ceremony for the main murti of Ganesha and a final puja. The temple was packed wall to wall with devotees."

He also took the occasion to sign many books, as we are retiring the "Canada Minimela" book storage facility in Edmonton.
