Blessing of Implements & Cycles

On Sunday, 27 September, our Nation celebrated the feast of “Ayudha Pooja” i.e., the worship of weapons. The blessing of tools, implements and vehicles is a part and parcel of this celebration. We too had the blessing of our garden implements and cycles on this special occasion. The following day on the occasion of the ‘Vijayadashami’ festival, we had the blessing of implements in the farm. Fr William, our Rector, blessed the farm premises. The school children have begun their Dasara vacations. (Dasara is the Nadahabba (state-festival) of the state of Karnataka. It is also called as Navaratri (Nava-ratri = nine-nights) and is a 10-day festival with the last day being Vijayadashami, the most auspicious day of Dasara.)
