विहिगाव : नवचंडी हवन व प्रवचन

सेवा हे यज्ञकुंड.. समिधा सम हम जले...!

समर्पित भावनेने केले जाणारे कार्य हे यज्ञामधील समिधेप्रमाणे असते. ज्या प्रमाणे यज्ञात टाकलेल्या समिधेचे अस्तित्व उरत नाही त्याच प्रमाणे समर्पित भावनेने कार्य करणाऱ्यांचे केवळ कार्य.. त्यांची सेवा.. त्यांनी केलेले यज्ञ दिसून येते.
