Due to a coconut injury on his head sustained at Ashta Mahadev's Holi, international storyteller Pandit Pradeep Mishra's Shiv Purana Katha, which was supposed to begin in Manasa, Neemuch, on Monday, has been postponed. In the old age home, bhajan-kirtan would be held for seven days straight, for four hours each day, with prayers for Sunderkand's quick recovery. Tuesday, for four hours straight, the senior residents of the Sankalp Drug De-addiction Center and Sankalp Old Age Home in Saikra Khedi, the city, played musical Sunderkand and Bhajan Kirtan. For the first time, ladies are wishing for his quick recovery, even in temples.
Thousands of people were enjoying the festival of Holi by dousing each other with gulal when Pandit Pradeep Mishra joined the procession on March 29 in Ashta. Pandit Mishra, meanwhile, was seated in the chariot when a coconut was thrown at him, striking him squarely in the head. He reported this to the charioteer, who picked up the coconut and glanced around.
