Unforgettable Experience shared by Devotee Ravi: The Dhivya Prabha, the divine light around His Divine Holiness that was captured right after the culmination of the Historic Chandi Homa. His Divine Holiness guided the sthapathi and sadakas and consecrated the Dasamahavidya in accordance to Shakta Agamas:
Miracle happening during Consecration of Dasa MahaVidya: The Devotees sculpted Dasa Mahavidyas taking guidance from HDH. HDH read the Slokas for each Mahavidya, explained the context of each form, each ayudha in their hand from the scriptures. Example - Kali ( Ferocious in form, motherly look in eyes). They took notes of that and sculpted the deities. During the consecration, when the Mahavidyas were installed one by one, the final deity sat exactly in the Peeta without any change in positioning, without any requirement for adjustment in direction. The Stathapathis themselves were shocked seeing the perfection of the deities and their features.
