Vijayadasmi / Saraswati Puja
Vijayadasmi falls on the 10th day of Navaratri season every year. It is the day when you celebrate your knowledge and pay homage to your teachers/Guru to commence new things. On this day, dance and music students come to class and pay their respects to the Guru.
At Soundarya Natya Kalalaya, we celebrate Vijayadasmi in class on a scheduled day when parents & students can attend & take blessings of -
-
Lord Ganesha, who is the remover of all obstacles & patron of the arts
-
Goddess Saraswati, who is the ultimate embodiment of all knowledge & performing arts
-
Lord Nataraja, who is worshipped as the God of Dance
-
Our Gurus & Teachers, who share their knowledge with us & lead our minds from darkness into the light.
SIGNIFICANCE OF SARASWATI PUJA
-
The student understands the importance and relevance of the Guru-Shishya parampara.
-
Every student gets a chance to dance to the lessons learnt in class thus signifying the beginning of another year of learning.
-
There is no better day than Vijayadasmi for new students to begin learning a new art form. If you want to start a new venture, or start teaching your child alphabets or begin to learn arts, you need not look forward to any other auspicious day other than Vijayadasmi.
COMMITTMENT TO HONORING THE GURU
-
As we celebrate Vijayadasami, we reaffirm our commitment to honoring our Gurus and upholding the traditions they have so diligently preserved.
-
We strive to create an environment where the guru-shishya bond is cherished and where every student feels empowered to express their creativity while respecting the foundational principles of Bharatanatyam.
