Sanskruti Foundation UK celebrates Pujya Bhaishri’s Birthday
The program started with a short prayer followed by lighting of the mangal deep by our distinguished guest Pujya Shri Mathuradas Bapu of Gujarat. Pujya Mathuradas Bapu is a well-known kathakaar and very well versed in our shastras. Following a formal welcome of our guests and all the Sanskruti parivar members, Pujya Mathuradas Bapu was requested to say a few words on the very joyous occasion of Pujya Bhaishri’s 45th birthday Pujya Bapu in his address expressed his deep gratitude and happiness at being present at this special birthday celebration of one of the most revered saints of India.
He mentioned that Pujya Bhaishri is 45 years of age and that number is a very special number as it symbolizes completeness. It symbolizes a whole purnatma, because 4 and 5 equals to 9 and again the sum of the two numbers of any multiple of number nine is nine. For example, 9 x 9 = 81 and 8 + 1 = 9. The sum of 4 and 5 equals to 9 and Number nine is also very auspicious because our Bhagwan Shri Ramji was born on the 9th , Ramnavmi. That is why Pujya Bhaishri’s 45th birthday is a very special one and Pujya Bhaishri is also a symbol of purnatam in every respect, he is completely perfect in his divine knowledge of our shastras, our sanskriti and he is a great inspiration to all of us. Thus spoke Pujya Mathuradas Bapu and wished Pujya Bhaishri a very happy birthday.
Bhajans, sankitans and dhuns were sung by all parivar members and an atmosphere filled with joy and happiness was created with bhav and reverence to our Pujya Bhaishri. All the gopis could not resist singing and playing the Raas Garba and finally no birthday celebration is complete without a cake cutting ceremony. All little children cut a big birthday cake in honor of Pujya Bhaishri and ‘Happy Birthday to Pujya Bhaishri’ was sung loudly by everyone. After the aarti everyone enjoyed the prasad and a piece of delicious birthday cake.
We all wish A very Happy Birthday to our Param Pujya Bhaishri and say…. ‘Jug Jug jeeyo hamare pyare Bhaishri… Aapko hamari umar lag jaye’.
