VASANT PANCHAM

(SARASWATI POOJA) SARAWATI POOJA 2/9/2019

Saturday

5:00PM TO 9:00PM

SARAWATI HALL Vasant Panchami has a specific meaning: Vasant means "spring" and Panchami means "the fifth day." Vasant Panchami falls on the fifth day of spring.

Vasant Panchami is celebrated every year on the fifth day of the bright half of the Hindu luni-solar calendar month of Magha, which typically falls in late January or February. It is treated as the start of spring, though it is generally winter-like in northern India, and more spring-like in central and western parts of India. The festival is particularly observed in the north, central and western parts of India and Nepal. It has been a historical tradition of Sikhs as well.

Discourse of Swami Chidanandapuri in Main Temple from 11.00 to 01.00 PM

Protecting the Sanctity and Temple traditions of Bharat

Swami Chidanandapuri, the Matthadipathi of Kolathur Advaita Ashram in Kozhikkode, also the patron of the Sabarimala Karma Samithi and

Hindu Marga Darshak mandal President will be in the Bay Area talking about the temple traditions particularly Sabarimala. The temple has

been in the news for the past several months in regards to its traditions which gained immense attention and curiousity amongst the general

public both in India and Indian diaspora. Swamiji, who is very well known for his discourses on Vedanta, would be in our temple to enlighten us

on the temple traditions and our role in the process.

Sabarimala Sree Ayyappan Temple is a temple located at Sabarimala inside Periyar Tiger Reserve in Pathanamthitta District, Kerala, India. The

temple attracts millions of devotees each year. The temple is dedicated to the Hindu celibate deity Ayyappan also known as Dharma Sastha.
