Ganapati Comes To AY
WE CELEBRATED GANESH CHATURTHI ON AUGUST 22 AT OUR BYCULLA ANANDA YAAN (AN INITIATIVE BETWEEN DIGNITY FOUNDATION AND ROTARY CLUB OF BOMBAY). WE HAD 11 MEMBERS PARTICIPATE ALONG WITH RCB AND DIGNITY TEAMS. THE MEMBERS WERE EXCITED AND HAPPY THAT THEIR NEIGHBOURS AND DIGNITY AND ROTARY PEOPLE WERE VISITING THEIR HOMES ON ZOOM.
They were worried that this year, their family and friends would not be able to do darshan of Lord Ganesh at their homes. The members showed off the decorations they had painstakingly done. We did the Ganesh aarti together. This was followed by virtual sharing and partaking of Modak together.
Music maestro Shankar Mahadevan shared a video message especially for the Ananda Yaan members where he encouraged them to stay at home and stay safe. All members had a wonderful time and looked forward to the 11-day festivities.
Our chairman, Rtn. Madhusudan Daga and Rtn. Ptn. Ekta Shah showed the Lord Ganesha of their homes to all the members .
Madhusudan, in his speech, appreciated their devotion and decoration and was amazed to see the chocolate modaks made by one of the members.
May Lord Ganesha keep our senior citizens safe and healthy in 2020!
