02 Sep 2025

πŸͺ” Happiness Through Service Nirmalya Collection Drive on the Occasion of Ganpati and Gauri Visarjan πŸ† Activity Name Sacred Nirmalya Collection – Preserving Nature, Honoring Faith πŸ“… Date, Time & Venue πŸ—“οΈ Wednesday, 2nd September 2025 πŸ•” 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM πŸ“ Aadei Lake, New Panvel πŸ“ About the Event & Its Importance Ganeshotsav is not just about devotion, it is also about responsibility towards our environment. During Gauri Visarjan, thousands of devotees offer flowers, coconuts, garlands, and other Nirmalya to Lord Ganesha. However, when these offerings are directly immersed into water bodies, they harm the ecosystem and pollute the lakes. With the spirit of β€œSeva hi Parmodharma”, Lions Club of Panvel Sargam organized a Nirmalya Collection Drive to ensure that devotion does not turn into pollution. By collecting the sacred offerings respectfully from devotees, we not only honored their faith but also protected Mother Nature. 🀝 Organizing Details Lions Present: Ln Premendra Bahira – President Ln Dr. Aditya Doshi – Secretary Ln Swati Godse - Past President Total Lions Service Hours: 6 Hours 🌟 Event Highlights Lions personally interacted with devotees at the lake, requesting them to hand over their Nirmalya instead of immersing it. Over 60+ kilos of Nirmalya (flowers, garlands, coconuts, etc.) were collected with humility and respect. The offerings were later handed over for eco-friendly disposal, ensuring that the lake remained cleaner for both the community and the environment. Devotees expressed gratitude, many saying they felt relieved that their offerings were being handled in a way that honors faith and protects nature. πŸ’‘ Impact Before: Large quantities of flowers and materials usually end up polluting the water. After: 60+ kilos of Nirmalya diverted from immersion, contributing to cleaner water and greener surroundings. Emotional smiles on the faces of devotees who realized they were also contributing to protecting the environment through this act of faith. πŸ™ Gratitude We thank all the devotees who cooperated and participated in this eco-friendly seva. Special appreciation to Lions members for their dedicated hours of service. ✨ Closing Note β€œEvery flower offered to God carries love. By preserving that love and protecting our lakes, we serve both the Divine and the Earth.” 🌸🌊
