MATRUPUJA-SANDEEPANI SISHUVIHAR

As a part of the regular annual programme Sri Sarada Devi's birthday is celebrated with Matru Puja  or worshipping their mothers and grandmothers by the  Sandeepani Sishuvihar children. 

This year too Matrupuja was conducted on 14th December from 10 a.m to 11.30 a.m. The parents and children started coming to Anand dham by 10 a.m. Prior to that arrangements were made for all the children to sit and do the wonderful yajna. Ma Lakshmi Didi while addressing the parents emphasized the need for inculcating the values in their  children by themselves living those values. She explained to all the mothers present that to please Mother Lakshmi they aught to dress themselves up modestly, so that the children adore them, to please Mother Saraswati Devi they should consciously use sweet words and never use abusive language and to please Goddess Parvathi Devi they aught to live happily taking all the members of the family just as the goddess does with all her children their  Vahanas( Peacock, mouse,snake,bull etc).Then and then only can they become 'Sri-Matas'

  All the children performed the puja with devotion as guided by Lakshmi didi. The programme ended with Shanti Mantra after offering the arati and feeding the children with prasadam. 25 children  took part.
