Annapoorna
The essence of Annapoorna embodies nourishment, care, and fulfilment. She represents the vital act of providing sustenance and the regeneration of nature, without which our higher ideals would remain unfulfilled.
In honour of this profound spirit, we invite the parents of all groups to contribute to our celebration by bringing homemade dishes. Please prepare and bring your lovingly cooked food items on either Friday, September 13th, or Saturday, September 14th, 2024—whichever day you have registered for.
As we come together to share this meal, let us remember the practice of gratitude that begins with each bite. As is observed and guided in some formal practices, we acknowledge the interconnectedness of ourselves with those who prepare and serve our food, reflecting on the purpose of sustenance in supporting our lives and practices. While we might not remember iconsistently, whenever we are reminded, we honour this connection and appreciation in our own way.
Your contributions will help us come together in a meaningful way, celebrating the essential values that Annapoorna symbolises.
