The much-anticipated T20 World Cup clash between India and Pakistan saw a stunning four-wicket win of India over arch-rivals Pakistan with a magnificent 53-ball 82 not out in their opening T20 World Cup game at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday. As the Men In Blue, gave their best shot the country hit a wave of hopes and umpteen prayers for the win. Joining this movement was also Mumbai based NGO Cheering Squad India Foundation (CSIF), along with spiritual start-up My Omnamo, who performed a Maha Yagya in Trimbakeshwar today, which is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas near Nashik to mark the beginning of the spiritually empowing initiative and spread the power of vedas.
‘Vijayji Bhava Maha Yagya’, is the biggest and first-ever spiritual campaign of this level, a cricket season as ever witnessed. The initiative hopes to bring in collective prayers for Team India. The first in the series was performed today while India played their best and Virat Kohli lead India ro a memorable win against arch rivals Pakistan.
The ‘Maha Yagya’ was streamed LIVE on www.cheerforindia.org and masses could offer their prayers through contributions on the site.
“Cricket is a religion in India and every Indian becomes passionate and emotional every time Team India plays. Men in Blue are absolutely adored by the crazy cricket fans and we see a wave of patriotic fervour in the country during this time with umpteen prayers through hawans, hopes and positive vibes all around.
