The document discusses the Ganesh Chaturthi festival in Mumbai, India. It is a 10-day Hindu festival celebrating the birth of Lord Ganesha. During the festival, large colorful idols of Ganesha are installed in homes and public places. People conduct daily prayers and offerings to the idols. The highlight is the final day where the idols are submerged in rivers or the sea, symbolizing Ganesha's journey. The streets fill with singing, dancing, and large crowds celebrating. The author particularly enjoyed witnessing the gigantic 25-foot idols and learning the traditional Ghaati dance during their three-day visit to the festivities.

Festivals are an expressive way to celebrate glorious heritage, culture and traditions. They are meant to rejoice special moments and emotions in our lives with our loved ones. They play an important role to add structure to our social lives, and connect us with our families and backgrounds. They give us a distraction from our day to day, exhausting routine of life, and give us some inspiration to remember the important things and moments in life. Festivals were started to pass the legends, knowledge and traditions onto the next generation.
All festivals are cultural in one way or another. There are many types of cultural festivals such as National, Religious and Seasonal. They all serve the purpose of bringing happiness to our lives, and strengthen our sense of community.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

1. Celebrate India - The many colours of Ganesh Chaturthi
It is usually the charm of a particular destination that goads an average individual to travel. However, for a true travel
aficionado it’s not the destination that holds much charm but the events taking place in that destination that makes him pack
his bags. The festival of “Ganesh Chaturthi” is one such event that draws millions of people from all around the world to the
beaches of Mumbai, every year. If the Brazilians have their Rio Carnival then we Indians have the Ganesh Chaturthi. Which,
trust me, is by no means any lesser of a spectacle.
This festival celebrates the birth of Lord Ganesha, son of Lord Shiva & Parvati, who is worshipped as the God of
wisdom,prosperity and good fortune. The festival usually falls between 20th of August & 15th of September (this time around
it is on the 1st of September). The historical importance of this festival is as crucial as its religious importance (although most
people might not be aware of it today). Though, the origins ofGanesh Chaturthi can be traced back thousands of years to
the SātavāhanaEmpire but its resurgence is attributed to the Indian freedom fighter and social reformer Lokmanya Tilak. He
recognized the mass appeal of this festival and popularized it in order to bring together all castes and communities,
especially Brahmins and non-Brahmins, to facilitate a feeling of unity
amongst the masses. However, his main purpose was to ignite a
nationalistic feeling in the masses by bringing them together in a
time when the British authorities discouraged social and political
gatherings. The fruits of the seeds that Tilaksowed can be tasted even
today in the feeling of unity that pervades in the air during the
festival where not only Hindus but Muslims, Christians, Jains and
others as well join in the festivities.
Ganesh Chaturthi is the biggest event of the entire year for the state
ofMaharashtra. Although the festival is 10 days long, the
preparations start well in advance. 10 days is too long a time to skip
office but I still managed to get leave for 3 days so that I could be
there for the Ganesh Visarjan. By the way,Ganesh Visarjan is the 11th
day of the festival when they submerge the idol of Lord Ganesha in
the river or the sea and this marks the end of the festival. Oops! in my
excitement I jumped yet again right to the end so let me start from
the beginning.
So, as I mentioned, I was there 2 days before the Visarjan and what I observed was not that different from how we
celebrate Durga Puja - there is daily pooja for 10 days straight. During that time I got to see plenty ofcoconut,
jaggery, modak, durva (trefoil) blades of grass, red flowers, kumkumand sandalwood paste. The most interesting of these being
south IndianModak sweets, which is the main sweet dish of the festival. It is a dumpling made from rice flour/ wheat flour with
a stuffing of fresh or dry-grated coconut, jaggery, dry fruits and some other condiments. It is either steam-cooked or fried. It
was so delectable; I was practically living off it during those three days.
All this was fine but I was eagerly waiting for was the last day of Ganesh Visarjan. This is when all the mayhem and the
madness descend upon the streets of Mumbai. People carry the same Lord Ganesha idols that they had installed in their homes
for the daily pooja to submerge them in the river or the seawater. This symbolises the Lord’s journey towards his abode in
MountKailash while he takes away with him the misfortunes of his devotees. There is singing and dancing and shouting and
cheering and hooting and drumming all over the place and especially on the beaches, where the crowd is at its thickest. I am
not sure how many of you have heard of the Ghaati dance, but if you have, you might be interested to know that it probably
originated during this festival. The best part about this dance form is that it requires NO training and a complete lack of shame
(I think I did a fairly good job at it!). Beware, it can be pretty untamed but if you take my word, that’s where true essence of
this dance is.
All this is well and good, but nothing beats the star attraction - while I was on the beach I saw something that, till that day, I
had seen only on television, the gigantic, 25 feet tall, idol of Lord Ganesha. I can’t even begin to imagine the kind of time and
artistic skill that must have been put into to making something like that. If it was up to me I would have put it up in a museum,
It is such a pity that they had to submerge it. Make sure you don’t miss this, otherwise it will be all for nothing.
We make special trips for World Cup Finals, Dubai shopping
festival, Special Award ceremonies, I say, why not try
something little earthy for a change? After witnessing what I
did, I can only suggest that you shouldn’t wait for one of your
trips to coincide with this festival. This festival is worth
making all just for itself. Each time they submerge the idol,
they chant, ‘Ganpati bappa moray, pudcha warshi lavkar yaa’ –
something that upon translation, pretty much echoed my
sentiment too – Lord Ganesha, come back sooner next year
with your love and blessings!
