Shraddhavans collectively participated in the Dhol Tasha Pathak, alongside Lezim & Dhwaj, and celebrated the arrival of Shree Ganpati Bappa. In the procession, several other Shraddhavan devotees joined to welcome our beloved Bappa to Sadguru Shree Aniruddha's residence. Moreover, the enthusiasm of the procession rose when beloved Sadguru Shree Aniruddha himself came to welcome Ganpati Bappa at the gate of Shree Datta Niwas, and danced to the beats of Dhol and Tasha with the Shraddhavans in that grand procession! The arrival of Ganesh Utsav at Sadguru’s residence, Shree Datta Niwas, is a golden opportunity that Shraddhavans eagerly await each year. With a grand procession, the divinely adorned Ganpati Bappa is welcomed amidst devotion and joy. From early morning, Shraddhavans patiently stand in long queues, filled with love, to behold the serene Darshan of Ganpati Bappa. This year, devotees also chanted the Shree Ganpati Atharvashirsha and Shree Moolark Ganpati Mantra on their way to Shree Aniruddha Gurukshetram, where they received the blessings of both Swayambhu Ganesh and Shree Moolark Ganpati. At Sadguru’s home, devotees offered the sacred Sankalp Supari, placing their vows and heartfelt prayers at Bappa’s feet. Blessed by the serene Darshan of Shree Ganesh and the ever-loving grace of their Sadguru, Shraddhavans departed with hearts overflowing with bliss and divine contentment.
