Simultaneously\, diaspora-raised Hindus would like to see these institutions better reflect their perspectives and their vision for the Hindu community. This conference seeks to bridge this gap. This year’s conference will center the voices of diaspora-raised Hindus and the ways in which they enliven Hindu heritage in their personal and professional lives. We believe that this will create new pathways for ongoing stewardship of Hindu heritage for generations to come. \nSession 1 discusses the future of Hindu temples in America from the perspective of diaspora-raised Hindus.

TOHI is new organisation just 2 years old and our website is under development. below is our FB group link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/www.templeofhumanity.org.au/ \nNavratri is a nine-day festival in which nine forms of Goddess Durga are worshipped. It is one of the most significant festivals celebrated by Hindus all across India with great fervour. There are a total of four Navratris in a year\, but only two – Chaitra Navratri and Sharad Navratri are celebrated widely. People in different parts of the country celebrate this same festival differently. Though they worship the same deity\, performing different rituals.\n‘Navratri’ in Sanskrit means ‘nine nights’. On these nine nights\, people observe fast and offer special prayer to the ‘Nine Forms of Maa Durga’. Goddess Durga is an incarnation of Goddess Parvati. She took the avatar of Devi Durga to destroy Mahishasura. \nGarba dances celebrate fertility\, honour womanhood\, and pay respect to any of an array of mother goddesses. Traditionally\, the dance is performed around a clay lantern with a light inside\, called a Garbha Deep (\\\\\\\”womb lamp\\\\\\\”). This lantern represents life\, and the fetus in the womb in particular. The dancers thus honor Durga\, the feminine form of divinity. Garba is performed in a circle as a symbol of the Hindu view of time. \nGallery URL:https://hindumonth.org/event/navaratri-garaba-by-temple-of-humanity-inc-tohi/ LOCATION:1 Memorial Drive\, 1 Memorial Drive\, Granville\, 2142\, Australia ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://hindumonth.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Navratri-Garba.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="TOHI - Temple Of Humanity Inc.":MAILTO:templeofhumanity.au@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20221001T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20221001T235900 DTSTAMP:20260403T160701 CREATED:20221007T064953Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221007T064953Z UID:9002-1664643600-1664668740@hindumonth.org SUMMARY:Durga Mata Chowki for knowledge\, productive efforts for wealth\, and Power shakti DESCRIPTION: URL:https://hindumonth.org/event/durga-mata-chowki-for-knowledge-productive-efforts-for-wealth-and-power-shakti/ LOCATION:1861 Reynolds Avenue\, 1861 Reynolds Avenue\, Irvine\, CA\, 92614\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://hindumonth.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Durga-Chowki-Oct-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Mandir%2C Irvine CA":MAILTO:mandir@mandir.ws END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20221001T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20221001T230000 DTSTAMP:20260403T160701 CREATED:20221002T230357Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221002T230357Z UID:8711-1664643600-1664665200@hindumonth.org SUMMARY:Dashain Festival 2079 DESCRIPTION:Nepalese Association of Northern Territory cordially invite everyone to come and celebrate our biggest Hindu festival \”BADA DASHAIN 2079\” with us. \nThis year as well\, the Nepalese Association of Northern Territory with support from NRNA-NT is hosting a \”Dashain Program 2079\” on Saturday\, 1st October at Filipino Community Hall.

It is also called as Bodemma. This festival falls in the months of September/October called Ashvin or Aswiyuja. Bathukamma festival is celebrated for nine days during Durga Navratri. It starts on the day of Mahalaya Amavasya. It concludes two days before Dussera called as Durgashtami. On the final day\, the closing ceremony of Bathukamma panduga is celebrated as a great festival Pedda Bathukamma or Saddula Bathukamma. \nBathukamma is a beautiful flower stack\, arranged with seasonal flowers\, in seven concentric layers\, of potterâs clay like a cone. Bathuku in Telugu means live/life\, and Amma means mother\, hence Bathukamma is celebrated for the glory\, later denoted as Goddess Gauri – the patron Goddess of womanhood. \nWomen celebrate the festival dressed-up in traditional silk saris\, and wear jewellery. \nMyth\nOnce upon a time\, King Dharmangada of the Chola Dynasty used to rule South India. After many prayers and rituals\, his wife gave birth to Princess Lakshmi. Baby Lakshmi survived many accidents. So\, the parents named her Bathukamma (Bathuku = life\, Amma= suffix to female names and mother). Since then Bathukamma festival is celebrated by young girls in the Telangana region. The purpose of this festival is to pray to the Goddess in the belief that the young girls would get husbands as per their wish. Further\, married women celebrate the festival to pray to the Goddess for good health and prosperity of their family. Flowers are arranged on a plate or square wooden plank or a square bamboo frame in a conical layout. On the top\, gynecium of a pumpkin flower or a cone made of turmeric to represent Bathukamma is installed. This floral arrangement is worshipped as Goddess Bathukamma. This festival is mainly celebrated by unmarried young girls\, though men and women also participate in collecting and arranging the flowers as Bathukamma.\nATSA Started to Celebrate this festival since 2006. \nPreparation\nOn this day\, the men of the house go into the wild plains and gather flowers like gunuka\, tangedi\, lotus\, alli\, katla\, and teku\, which bloom in this season in various vibrant colors all across the uncultivated and barren plains of the region. \nWomen start preparing Bathukamma from the afternoon. They cut the flowers leaving the little length base\, some dip in colors\, some scented and arrange them on a wide plate called tambalamu\, and stack them up in a conical mound\, decorated with a pumpkin flower on top of the stack. \nRitual\nIn the evening\, women gather in large numbers with their Bathukammas in their locality\, place them in the middle and dance around them\, synchronizing steps and claps in unison\, and singing soul-stirring Bathukamma folk songs. \nWomen dance around their Bathukammas. After singing and dancing around for hours\, Bathukammas are taken to a lake or a pond and spend some more time singing and dancing and are set afloat in the water. \nSaddula Bathukamma\nThis festival is celebrated for nine days and concludes on Durgastami. The main festival day is called Saddula Bathukamma. \nOn this day they celebrate into the small hours before leaving their Bathukamma in water. Lakes and water bodies floating with Bathukammas in the evenings is a treat to the eyes. \nMaleeda\nMaleeda\, a prasadam made of jaggery\, is prepared on this day and distributed at the end of the event. People wishing to watch the Bathukamma festival being celebrated in its true sense and full glory must-visit Warangal on its last day i.e. 2 days before the festival of Dussehra. Only women are allowed\, and male companions must wait outside the festival grounds.
