ARA--------------------------On the occasion of Varsh Pratipad (First Day of the Hindu New Year) Mahotsav and Vasantik Navratri, worship and seminar were organized at the Friends Colony officer. The programme was organized under the joint aegis of Sri Sanatan Shaktipeeth Sansthanam and Sanatna-Sursari Seva Nyas and was presided over by Acharya Dr. Bharat Bhushan Pandey, president of the institute.

Speaking on the occasion, Acharya Bharat Bhushan Pandey said that Varsha Pratipada is the festival of revival and youth of nature. On the same day, the Father of the Universe, Brahmajee created the universe. Spring comes after autumn. Sanatan New Year is completely scientific and is full of new energy. New Year is the motivator of new food, new enthusiasm, new action plan and the provider of purification through new Sadhna, restraint and penance in Vasantik Navratra.

Bhojpur district Hindi Sahitya Sammelan president, Prof. Baliraj Thakur, speaking on the occasion, said that the Indian New Year spreads enthusiasm and joy in all living beings. He said that Sri Sanatan Shaktipeeth Sansthanam as ever, this year too Navratri worship is organized in which self-study of scriptures, discourses and training are given importance. This is most needed in today’s time.
