SAMUDRA (OCEAN) PUJA

Along with the tarpan puja on the 10 January, we organized a special, sacred "Samudra puja". The sea is like the mother of the fisherman, for she provides them with life and livelihood. However, since the tsunami they have viewed the sea as the enemy. Therefore, we organized sea puja and aarti to re-instill faith in them.

Further, as a symbol of new life and new hope, as well as a practical prevention for future tidal waves, trees were planted on the coast line.

Pujya Swamiji, Vivek Oberoi, Suresh Oberoi and the rishikumars plant trees with local villagers
