Puja of Saraswati Mata, the Goddess of all wisdom and atymagyan (knowledge of the Self) was performed with great enthusiasm and devotion at The Hindu Samaj Temple. The Puja was conducted by Shri Jagannadachari. As he clearly spelled out the Mantras extolling the virtues of Ma Saraswati, devotees from all sections of the community crossing religious boundaries repeated them in unison. Chanting of Ma Saraswatis shlokas, prayer with flower offerings (Pushpanjali) and Aarati by the devotees made the atmosphere divine.
Following the Puja and partaking of prasadam and delicious lunch, the devotees joined hands to pray to Saraswati Mata with Sangeet, Dance and Poems. The Temple air was filled with vibrations of melodious voices, sounds of complex dance talams and bols (steps/rhythms).

Thanks to the participation by several children, the cultural Program was a great success. Finally, every one departed happily with blissful joy. January (27th) 2007 Saraswati Puja was sponsored by several families... However, special thanks to the Bengali Community who took the major responsibilities for organizing the puja, making delicious prasdam and lunch and special prayer through cultural events.
