T20 World Cup: Prayers for team India begins with ‘Maha Yadnya’

New Delhi:

Mumbai based NGO Cheering Squad India Foundation (CSIF), a social arm of spiritual start-up – My Omnamo, has launched a campaign this cricket season with a ‘Maha Yadnya’ to bring in collective prayers for Team India.

The first ‘Vijayi Bhava Maha Yadnya’ was performed in Trimbakeshwar on Saturday, which is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas near Nashik to mark the beginning of the initiative.

This is an attempt to unite India under one voice of “#vijayibhavaindia” and to bring the ICC T20 World Cup trophy home one more time. The organizers have urged people to participate & contribute in the yadnya from all the cities and cheer for the Indian Cricket Team. LIVE Yadnya will be streamed on the platform www.cheerforindia.org.

Around, 101 location across India like Chennai, Tirupati, Sriperambadur, Pune, Vellore, Sindhudurg, Hyderabad, Aurangabad and various spiritual cities & temples, community halls, and vedic pathshalas across the country will host the Maha Yadnya on world cup match days.

Makarand Patil, Founder, My Omnamo and CSIF says, “Since a lot of Indians perform hawan’s for a good luck, we envisioned that we could bring cricket and spirituality together and perform ‘Vijayi Bhava Maha-Yadnya’ at 101 locations in the country. We hope to bring together oneness of One Billion Indians pledging and praying in unison for our Men In Blue.”

The campaign was flagged off with the Victory Song ‘Vijayi Bhava’ recently.

The World Cup begins October 16 and India play their first match on October 23.
