Mumbai's most popular festival, Ganesh Chathurthi came to an end onThursday. Several thousands of Ganesh idols were immersed in various beaches in Mumbai. We all are in the celebration mood and worship lord Ganesha with so much devotion but when it comes to bid farewell to the lord, we do all kinds of activity which must be really hurting to the lord.
A pray to lord- we do for peace, prosperity and what not but when it comes to take care of his world we don't even think twice to destroy it. The aftereffect of this festival could be seen in various beaches with piled up Plaster of Paris (POP) idols flowers, cardboards, materials used for puja,plastic bags and litters.
It is here that we like minded people came together to give a helping hand for a dignified farewell to our lord by doing our bit in keeping the Mother Nature clean.
More than 150 enthusiastic employees of my office joined hands with BMC in cleaning Juhu Beach during the morning hours of 4th Sept2009 on working day. Ganesha Idols, non-biodegradable materials, cardboards etc were removed in large quantities by the Volunteers to clean the JUHU beach and contributed our bit under "Save our Beach" campaign.
Things are changing in a year. Last year, i was just putting comments on someone's blog that we shouldn't support Ganpati Visargan activity(or support Eco-friendly Ganpati) and don't not allow anybody to pollute our natural resources. This year, I got a chance to do a bit of action(rather just to comment) to save our beaches. Thank you GOD...!!!
