Bhagavatam Grand Finale –  February, 2018   After having arrived at AVM on Feb 11th, Lord Krishna had planned for another round of joyous celebrations from the 19th to 25th of the same month at Anna Nagar. It was time for the much-anticipated Bhagavatam Grand Finale – a loving & gratitude-filled celebratory conclusion to the year-long Bhagavata katha that had commenced in March 2017. The seven-day extravaganza included packed schedules on all days including Moola Parayanam of Srimad Bhagavatam by our AVM temple priest in the mornings and evenings, covering all 18,000 verses across the seven days. Following the Moola Parayanam during both morning and evening were sessions of Bhagavata Katha.
