Pilani Rajasthan Springs to Fun and Frolic in Fall - Mitra Mandal Devi Puja

Pilani Rajasthan Springs to Fun and Frolic in Fall - Mitra Mandal Devi Puja

Located in the heart of Shekhawati region of Rajasthan, Pilani is well known in India today for various top ranking educational institutions, CSIR Laboratory CEERI as well as the upcoming BrahMos Missile Assembly Project Unit.

Durga, in Sanskrit means "She who is incomprehensible or difficult to reach” and as the Mother of the Universe bestowed with infinite power she is the symbol of female dynamism. This year Pilani had over a dozen Devi Pujas a big number indeed for a small town. The Mitra Mandal Puja which is in its tenth year organized next to the Devi Mandir in Pilani facing the Ram Lila Grounds is undoubtedly one of the most popular ones.

For the year 2011, Mitra Mandal brought a team all the way from Vrindavan Mathura led by Nrithya Gopal Sastri for Bhagavad Gita sessions which were done daily from 2 Pm to 6 Pm during the Navratras. Daily Artis held in the morning and evening attracted hundreds of devotees. The Maha Ashtami day which fell on Tuesday 4 October this year was a peak day for Mitra Mandal Puja. The puja rituals were done by Sagun Sastry of The International Society for Krishna Consciousness - ISKCON Mathura. There were special Bhajan sessions by teams of repute from Fatehpur, Bagar and Surajgarh.

The budget of the Mitra Mandal Puja runs into six figures with voluntary donations from big hearted citizens of Pilani. Arvind Runthala and Sushil Saini who are employed at Birla Institute of Technology and Science – BITS Pilani have taken up the Mitra Mandal Puja as a Mission with Passion for the past ten years.

It is quite likely that Stanley Horowitz made the quote “Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all" possibly after seeing a Durga Puja in India”
