Ashadi Ekadashi Celebration at Parle Tilak Vidyalaya English Medium School (Secondary Section)
पावसाच्या सरी, पंढरीची वारी
विटेवरी उभा,जनतेचा कैवारी
पंढरीच्या गाभाऱ्यात, उभी साजरी
माझी विठू माऊली

Greetings on the auspicious occasion of Ashadi Ekadashi!
The students of Parle Tilak Vidyalaya English Medium School (Secondary Section) celebrated Ashadi Ekadashi with great zeal and enthusiasm. The program commenced with our Headmistress, Mrs. Smita Biwalkar, extending her heartfelt wishes to the students on this auspicious occasion. Following this, Mrs. Swati Thakurdesai, our teacher, delivered an insightful speech, acquainting the students with the significance of Ashadi Ekadashi. She eloquently stated:
“श्री पांडुरंग म्हणजेच श्री विठ्ठल म्हणजेच विष्णूचे रूप आणि माता रुख्मिणी म्हणजे साक्षात श्री लक्ष्मी. ‘विठोबा’ या नावाचा अर्थच आहे जो आपल्या भक्तांसाठी, त्यांच्या दुःख निवारणासाठी, वैकुंठ सोडून या पृथ्वीवर अवतरला आणि आपल्या कटीवर हात ठेवून, गेल्या २८ युगांपासून विटेवर उभा आहे भक्तांच्या अडचणी दूर करण्यासाठी.”
Following the speech, the school choir group presented a melodious abhang written by Sant Tukaram, titled “ज्ञानियांचा राजा गुरु महाराव |…”. The choir’s performance, under the guidance of our Music Teacher, Mrs. Vrushali Virkar, was captivating and soulful.
The celebration continued with a vibrant Dindi procession. Adorned in traditional attire, the students participated fervently in singing, dancing, and chanting the name of Lord Vitthal in a meticulously organized manner. Devotion filled the air as the procession traversed through the school premises.
We thank our teachers, Mr. Paresh Ipte, Mr. Kalpesh Satra, Mrs. Madhura Dabir, and Miss Diksha Waroshe, for their efforts in making the celebration memorable and spiritually enriching for our students.
