After reading Sadhguru's description of what happened at Thanjavur, I realized that the conditions were similar @ Coimbatore as well. I just wanted it to rain until end of Sunday. Fortunately, things worked out that way. Right from 4PM, a downpour was happening at the venue but work was continuing without break. There was a brief hiatus of rains between 5:45PM and 6:15PM. By this time the event had started.
After the formalities (dignitaries, awards, brief speeches) Sadhguru started speaking and the downpour started and it never let up. Sadhguru said later (paraphrasing): When things go fine, you can put up a good act and get by. When things do not go as planned, the true colors of people come out. Today, you have showed what you're made of and I am proud of you!
As the rain picked up intensity, a colorful parade of fireworks lit up the sky and Sounds of Isha started "Mahadevaya Namaha...". Events were totally on a different plane thereafter. Sadhguru walked out into the rain among the people gathered while the music picked up momentum.
The whole celebration lasted nearly 45 minutes. The Mahasatsang did not happen as planned, but I think things couldn't have gone better!
