It was held at the Bharat Sevashram Sangha Temple in Kendall Park\, NJ\, from 3 – 7 PM\, and nearly 150 people took part. It was open to all community members and completely free for everyone. \nWhat sets this event apart in the community’s eyes is the child-centric focus of the puja. Almost every family brought their kids to the event\, and the youthful energy brought the mandir to life! Directed by the Smt. Tejal Shah\, the kids were engaged in performing Rudra Abhishek. The literal and symbolic meaning of every step of the ritual was explained by Tejal Shah Ji\, and under their parents’ guidance\, the children took the lead in performing the puja. The puja was followed by Aarti and homecooked Prasad made lovingly by the VHPA volunteer team. \nThe full puja thali\, including all puja samigri (paraphernalia like puja supari\, panchamrita\, and naivedaya)\, was provided to each family free of cost. In the 3-hour puja\, Shivalingas were first offered a seat of flowers\, than fragrant water\, followed by a bath of milk and panchamarita\, among many other offerings. Shivalingas\, as well as small murtis of Ganeshji\, were brought especially from India. In fact\, the number of attendees was almost double the number that came last year\, and after giving everyone a thali\, VHPA volunteers found that even the surplus items they had kept were running out! \nThe event was a smashing success. All families really enjoyed the experience\, and the little ones were attentive and observant throughout the program. Everyone enjoyed the delicious prasad that was offered after the Aarti as well. Participants were eager to come back next year. Many were also planning to attend VHPA’s Hindu Heritage Day program\, a summer celebration of Hindu culture with an expected 2\,000 people from all over New Jersey partaking in the festivities. \n “VHPA wants to provide today’s youth with the opportunity to connect with their heritage and feel proud of the rich history and culture of India. Offering this program free of cost to the community is just a small way in which we hope to bring pride to the vibrant Hindu community in New Jersey. Also\, we have the chance to invite other members outside of the Hindu community for a fun and meaningful experience. Truly\, the event surpassed everyone’s highest expectations and we could not be happier with the results.” says Brahm Sharma\, President of the NJ Chapter. \nArun Joshi\, Secretary of the NJ Chapter\, adds\, “The Maha Shivratri Puja only grows more and more popular every year—this year\, we had twice the number of families as last year!”.  In the future\, the organizers of this event look forward to expanding the event to involve even more youth and community members. \n “This program is a sincere labor of love and one of the ways VHPA hopes to give back to the wider community. We are thrilled by the enthusiastic support of our events\,” says Jai Bansal\, Treasurer of the NJ Chapter. \nAbout the Vishwa Hindu Parishad of America/ World Hindu Council (VHPA): \nVHPA is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit and volunteer-based charitable organization\, founded to address the needs of the Hindu society and support humanitarian causes worldwide.

Thanks to the generosity of our Hindu community\, we were able to raise enough funds to donate 25 backpacks with all the supplies for the needy middle and high school students. \n \nThe highlight of the campaign was the spirit of giving shown by two young members of our community\, Dhruv Gupta and his little sister\, Anusha. They gave up their weekend to help with unpacking the supplies and preparing the backpacks. Most touching moment was when Dhruv decided to donate his very first check he earned towards this initiative! We need to inculcate this kind of spirit in our children so they can understand the value of volunteering and helping the less fortunate members of the society. Well done Dhruv! \nTwenty five backpacks is good beginning for a first-time initiative. Let’s aspire to do even better next time. Surely 100 backpacks should not be difficult target for 2019 for the NJ Hindu community!
