Ramakrishna Math, Koyilandy, Kerala, organized a special event named “Matrupuja”(Mother Worship) on Sunday, October 8th, 2023, on the ashrama premises, aimed at instilling and promoting values and a dignified culture among the students of Gadadhar Abhyudaya Prakalpa. The lack of respect, adoration, and humility in the current generation, particularly among the youth is very much visible. So the ashrama conducted the Matrupuja event, which received a remarkable response from the local community, especially the fishermen. Their participation will contribute to the enhancement of values and a dignified culture in our society.
The event commenced with traditional Vedic chanting from the Taittiriya Upanishad, followed by a welcome address. Ms Radha Devi B., Jeevanvriti Karyakarta, Vivekananda Kendra, Kanyakumari, delivered an eloquent message to both parents and children. Subsequently, the Matrupuja was performed by the respective children. After the puja, an interactive session took place between the children and their parents, allowing them to discuss their feelings and experiences.
The programme concluded with a vote of thanks, and a sumptuous lunch Prasad served to all 120 attendees.
