UPDATE 3: Ganesha Chathurthi Celebrations 2018

[Vasu Raghavan]

Namaste All

Om Gam Ganapathaye Namah !!

This is a fairly long mail, so please read until the very end.

With just another 8 days to go before we celebrate Ganesha Chathurthi at Bornheim, I would like to provide another update:

So far we have confirmations (for participation) from about 35 people (including children). 

The following people have come forward as volunteers: 

Sri. Antariksh Bharadwaj

Sri. Radhakishore Gurumurthy

Sri. Sankar Lakshminarayanan

Sri. Dhineshram   

Sri. Biren Gandhi

Sri. Nandamuri Prasad

Sri. Ram Appadurai

Sri. Lalgudi Sankar (Hoechst)

Of the above, Sri. Biren Gandhi and Sri. Nandamuri Prasad will take care of the Pooja items to be purchased

I would need two or three people to come to State Bank of India (on Mainzer Landstrasse, near Platz der Republic) on Friday, 14th Sept. to collect the Ganesha Idol which will adorn the podium as the main Pooja deity. I will need someone who has a car, so that we can straight away load the Murthi in the car and take it to Bornheim

Other volunteers may come directly to the venue by 1800 Hrs on Friday to take care of the cleaning of the venue and to make arrangements for decoration etc. 

Sri. Sankar Lakshminarayanan will be in charge of the decoration / Alankaram for the Pooja Murthy. Anyone else with a taste for artistic creativity can join him in this activity. (A note to Sri. Sankar: please check with Nagapooshani Amman temple if they have silk / colour Vasthram for decorating the Murthi. We can purchase the same if money needs to be paid)

Smt. Manu Karthik to please check with Nagapooshani Amman temple regarding availability of flower garland. 

For questions regarding food item for the pot-luck lunch, please contact Smt. Manu Karthik or Smt. Malathi Vasudevan. For any other questions please reach out to me or to Sri. Karthik Jagannathan

I will provide more updates in the next couple of days to come  

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
With warm regards
