vidyarambha ceremony

[Guest guest]

Dear devotees,

Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 

After Gaura Purnima, the Radha Madhava preschool play-group started its new

school year. As is the tradition in Vedic culture, children performed the

Vidyarambha ceremony - when they write their first alphabet. This ceremony

is done before children start their education, between the age of three and

five.

 

The transcendental twins of Mayapur, Jananivasa prabhu and Pankajanghri

prabhu, held the little hands of each child to help them write Hare Krishna

with a golden stick on a silver plate - full of sindhur. Their Lordships Sri

Sri Panca Tattva witnesed the occation and blessed their young devotees.

After the auspicious writing, the mothers of the children worshipped Their

Lordships, the sadhu perceptors and their children with the ghee lamps. This

was followed by distribution of sweet rice for visitors and devotees

present.

 

Attached are some pictures taken during the ceremony.
