We support HJS drive for immersion of Ganesh idols in flowing water ! – Vasumbe Gram Panchayat

Vasumbe (Dist. Sangli) : Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS)’s appeal to immerse Ganesh idols in flowing water instead of donating idols was supported by Vasumbe Gram panchayat in Tasgaon taluka. A letter given by HJS was read out during Gram sabha for information of all members. A letter signed by Sarpanch Sou. Shobha Prakash Kambale and Gram sevak extending support was given to HJS. Shri. Sachin Gurav, a local devout Hindu worked hard to get this decision approved. (Congratulations to Vasumbe Gram panchayat for supporting HJS appeal ! Other Gram panchayats should also follow the example of Vasumbe ! – Editor, Dainik Sanatan Prabhat)

In the letter given by Gram panchayat to HJS, it has been stated that …

1. Public festival committees should not install Ganesh idols which are more than 3 feet tall; because it becomes difficult to perform ‘puja’, immersion etc. and the idol can be desecrated in the process. The idol should therefore be of less height.
2. Decoration should be ‘sattvik’ and natural, banana stumps, ‘durva’, ‘sattvik’ flowers can be used for the purpose; use of thermocol, plastic and excessive use of electricity should be avoided.
3. Principle of Ganesh is active thousand times more during this period; so chant  ‘Om Gan Ganapataye Namaha’ as much as possible; do not play film songs, avoid consumption of liquor or playing cards; play devotional songs and ballads. Wear traditional clothes in processions. (Why can’t municipalities and municipal corporations understand what a small Gram-Panchayat could realize ? – Editor, Dainik Sanatan Prabhat)

Vasumbe Gram panchayat will always support you to avoid desecration of idols, states the letter while concluding.
