Uni5 SAKTHI FOUNDATION - CAC [CONNECTING ADULTS TO THE CULTURE] 

Navarathry festival report 2014

Ms.Gomathy GaneshKumar - Pongalor town, Tirupur Dt talks about her  Navarathry experiences:

''6 years back I started setting Navarathry Golu immediately after my wedding without understanding the concept. I wished to celebrate this festival especially for my daughter who is being brought up in a traditional way of Vedic culture. 

When I started this Golu several people in my family opposed  and talked against my attitude. But I was very particular in celebrating this. I took spiritual guidance under my husband. Dr.Pradheep Kumar explained various aspects of Vedic culture in related with life.When years passed my Golu also grew. Then I read and analyzed about the concept of Golu and Navarathry. Slowly I am clarifying many doubts about energy - Sakthi and depicting a theme which is highly concept based one.

We used to write, edit and publish notices explaining the concepts of energy and gave to the guests. This year I am able to relate myself with evolution of man and self. My spiritual evolution has to be evolved for which this festival is helping me a lot.

My daughter is 8 years old and she is much involved in Golu. She asks several questions about various God forms. She has improved her social skills through this Golu. She also dresses well like various characters and enjoys much.

I am living in a small town where my Golu is very special. My dolls are rare and I have a Durga made in Kolkatha. In the beginning people come and just admired mu Golu. But when we placed the kalasa - the symbol of conscious state [Bhramam] alone in the very first top step, people asked about it.For past few years people ask various questions about Vedic life and culture through this Golu. Few other families have also started keeping Golu. Press and local channel also come with interest to see our Golu. 

I perform rituals in evening and attend the guests. By night I do detail poojas to Devi along with my husband. I even forget my physical stress some times.

Today my neighbor also celebrate concept based Golu. Guests say that it is very rare to see such Golu and they feel stress less and divine. They say that they are able to understand many Vedic concepts.''

Mr.Ganeshkumar - sales man in a local Government ration shop, an example for selftual person talks:

'' Before 6 years I had a wooden Vishnu idol with Chotranikara Devi. I had a question about small clay dolls of various Gods whether they can listen to my prayers. I accepted my wife's words and started celebrating Golu.

My parents were against this and this is considered to be a caste based festival. I am satisfied with the Golu. But every year I learned many spiritual lessons and practiced Sakthism and evolved myself along with steps. From 2013 my learning through Uni5 pattern has made me to relish the Golu concept and I am also presenting the same in Golu.

I am clear how the energy is being manifested in various forms. I perform Ganapathy homam, Lalitha sahasranama archanai and Devi Mahaathmiyum. I also perform Chandi homam and Navavarna poojas to Sri yantra. I wait for these 10 days.

I perform all my poojas after 9 P.M. This is real Navarathry. People need to become more aware about this. I need to work for that.''

Mr.MuthuKumar - Ms.Kavitha MuthuKumar, Andipalayam - Thirupur.,
''We are celebrating Navrathry for past 4 years after knowing the basic concept through Sakthi foundation. This year we have installed the granite idol of Devi Mookambika. Sheis the manifestation of Durga, Laxmi and Saraswathy.
From the day we have installed the deity we are following certain chanting and ritualswhich has developed our self-awareness. Our town gets constant rain showers throughthe Ganapathy homa which we perform. We are able to feel the importance of Vedicrituals and shloka chanting.Our Navarathry Golu has brought a change within us. We feel that our life has a meaningbehind all actions which we do. This year our home has mingles with society. Many
neighbours come regularly to see this Golu.When people come and sit before Golu their actions, talks and thoughts gets changed.My daughter enjoys this Golu. Next year we are planning to make a Uni5 concept based Golu. The festival has brought lot of social skills within us.We thank Sakthi foundation forsupporting our locality to conduct this grand festival.''

Topic: What is the real happiness in our life?

 We gave them the platform of Uni5 pattern of self-analysis and made them to be aware about their own life. Legends, medical values, homework were given. The week class has to be followed with a practical exercise of life value. Example: This week let us serve the food to the family without any negative thoughts even though there are tough times at home.

 The session gave space of self-expression, debating upon human values, day to day issues, music, coloring which was liked by many senior citizens and discussions.

 Members involved in fund collection and donated to poor children for school fees, fire accident requires, social festivals and also conducted many competitions. They were like college students taking down notes, chating and made their time useful to themself.
