GANESHA CHATURTHI CELEBRATIONS 2009
ASB started the tradition of celebration last year with Ganapati Utsav and the trend was continued this year.
The season of festivity started with the Ganesh Chaturthi Celebration where we worship Lord Ganapati for his blessings, as Ganapati is the benevolent god who showers love and kindness on us. To show our gratitude and devotion we had a grand celebration.
The celebration was handled by the newly formed festival committee of ASB. The whole building was abuzz for three days with activities, and productions which at times were the result of serendipity. The divine looking idol of Ganapati, set up for three days near the entrance of ASB, surrounded by students and faculty alike, was a scene of a relationship between us and God, a relationship of unconditional love.
Ganapati or the Vigna Vinashak was seen off with pomp on the fourth day in a water body nearby the campus. His Visarjana was a symbol to bring him back next year with similar, if not more spirit.
This festival not only was to show our devotion to him, but also was a thread to bind us together, to give us mental strength and to integrate us. This festival was a celebration of our being. This festival was a way of learning to handle responsibility. The festival was a way to learn how to work as a team and on a team. We hope to continue the tradition we have started...
