New Delhi, September 9: Delhi-based Tirupati Industries is one of India’s leading manufacturers of Premium Dhoop, Incense sticks, Incense Cones, Dry Dhoop Sticks, Hawan Samagri, Kapoor & allied products. It markets a wide range of consumer-centric products under its well-known Trade name – ‘God Gift’, which are known for their premium quality and yet affordable, economical prices.

In order to expand its footprint and bridge a lasting connect with consumers, God Gift planned a campaign with a vision in mind to overcome the several years of generic, monotonous advertising by the industry.

Kakkoii, the research partner, while surveying & meeting various people across India, found that “Worshiping god from a distance, as a humble devotee is a thing of the past and that people found their relationship with god a more close & personal one, each with their own unique connection, just like that of friends”. This exciting, refreshing insight paved the way for some of the most creative scripts one could imagine!

This resulted in 2 quirky adverts featuring Indian Cricket Star – Rishabh Pant and veteran actor Sharat Saxena which perfectly showcase a unique relationship between a devotee and god, which is so personal yet full of sensitivity and respect towards the almighty.

 To top it all, this campaign has given a subtle twist to “Hey Bhagwan”, which is usually spoken when one is in dismay. The new meaning given to this household phrase has left the viewers enthused and in sweet chuckles!

So don’t miss out and check out the quirky ads below.

God se jodo ek naya rishta, dosti ka..Say, Hey Bhagwan!

H.H Raseshwari Devi Ji

September 10: Children today are caught between modernity and tradition as the world is changing so quickly. As parents and educators, it is our duty to achieve the ideal balance between upholding the required traditional values and implementing the essential current changes.

All humans share a common cultural heritage and set of traditions. No matter where we go or where we originate from, we will always carry a piece of our culture with us. In order to help our growing children have a sense of belonging and connect with their roots, culture and traditions play a crucial role. A comprehensive grasp of our culture and customs will strengthen this connection.

Cultural awareness and knowledge about one’s traditions play an important role in helping children develop a positive sense of identity. Children’s identity development is greatly aided by cultural awareness and knowledge of one’s own traditions.

Our current generation of young children will be the ones to pass on our heritage, culture, beliefs, and legacy to the next generation. As a result, teaching our kids about our culture and traditions at an early age not only benefits the kids but also instils in them a sense of duty to preserve and carry on this rich and varied legacy.

Braj Gopika Seva Mission(BGSM) started organising camps for kids in the year 2008 under the initiative called Baal Sanskar Program. The number of programs is largely dependent on the common vacation of schools to ensure maximum participation. It goes on uninterruptedly, with a minimum of two programs each year. During the corona pandemic also, it was online, and it was more helpful than the offline version because it connected aspirants worldwide.

Thousands of children are benefited from this program since its inception under the able guidance of Poojniya Raseshwari Devi and Swami Yugal Sharan Ji.

The curriculum of the Baal Sanskaar Program is profusely influenced by the spiritual heritage of India. A typical day starts at 4.30 in the morning with Arti, Vedic chants and yoga. Staying inside the ashram campus among sanyasis with limited personal conveniences makes them learn life skills and makes them strong from the inside. Seven days of practice is not sufficient enough to bring transformation, but the learnings certainly lay a foundation which proves to be a building block towards shaping their personality.

In order to help children transition into adulthood as informed, self-assured, welcoming, and inclusive citizens, BGSM believes in laying a strong foundation of acceptance and belonging by encouraging and involving our kids in cultural celebrations as well as accepting the diverse social network.

September 9: Under the publishing house Clever Fox Publishing, Renowned Author Sandhya S Borkar recently released her new book ‘Shree’s Varah.’ This book is based on the theme of love, happiness, rebuilding faith, hope and belief. This fictional story depicts a story of how the Lord “Shree” shows up at the woman’s door after she rejects the Supreme Power. Life-altering, never-ending twists reflect the highs and lows of existence and the Blessings of the Divine bestowed upon the characters, whose deeds create their Karma.

The story begins with a village celebration where residents and visitors welcome their *Ista Deva* in honor of His return to their hometown after a 12-year absence. The locals are spellbound as “Shree” bestows Blessings upon them in a way they have never experienced. Even though Radhika, the main protagonist, has always walked the road of Dharma, she has now turned her back on this Divine form of Shree because she feels betrayed by her personal losses.

The story unfolds in three parts; the first covers the events leading up to the Shree Mela, and the second discusses the amazing happenings that take place during the Shree Mela. The final stage emphasises routine life after the Shree Mela and upcoming events. Strangers become allies, and how the characters’ lives are intertwined for a New and Better Tomorrow are just a few of the strong themes that underpin the story’s characters. Rights of the Wrongs, being there for one another when they are at their lowest, and love stories strengthen the drama. Even though life can be challenging, it moulds us into the person we become.

About Sandhya S Borkar

Hailing from Mumbai, Sandhya completed her education at St.Theresa Convent, Santacruz and Mithibai College, Vile parle. Her passion for Amar Chitra Katha, Champak, Tin Tin, and the fantastical world of Mills and Boons led her to embrace happy endings and feel-good storytelling. Reading, doodling, and writing short stories sparked the inner writer in her and eventually, she developed an author’s talents. Balancing between his mom’s practicality (a career in banking) and her father’s dreams (Author), Sandhya has incredibly established herself since she started her bank career in 1990. Family drama is the genre always featuring a strong dosage of love, passion, and Karma and rising above it all like a phoenix. The writer steals time from her busy schedule to write to fulfil her soul while also managing the household and her hectic professional life. It would be interesting to read more of her writing in the future while people enjoy her newly released book ‘Shree’s Varah.

September 8: Every year, people buy big Ganesha sculptures and lead in water, leaving polluted water behind. Setting a rare example for society on Ganesh Chaturthi occasion, with the inspiration of daughters Melody and Lovina, the family of Raju Sabnani from Hong Kong brought an eco-friendly Chocolate Ganesha Idols created by using high-quality chocolate. This eco-friendly chocolate Ganesha doesn’t melt and lasts for several days. Melody is the girl who had given Rs.1 Lakh to PM Modi from her pocket money for the ‘Save Ganga Project’ when she was just 9 years old.

This is how they celebrated the Ganpati Poojan in a very healthy & eco-friendly way. They got a Ganesha idol made of White & Dark Chocolate, and after three days of sthapna, they did the visarjan. The Idols were immersed in milk for visarjan. Then the milk was distributed as prasad to all devotees. The brightly coloured chocolate Ganesha looks quite appealing.

Melody Sabnani, NRI from Hong Kong, says festivals like Ganesh Chaturthi create a lot of environmental damage because idols of non-biodegradable materials last for so long in the environment. Lord Ganesha is known as the God of wealth, health, prosperity and goodness, and Our chocolate Lord Ganesha will bring sweetness, good health, and prosperity to the life of the community.

On this day, I encourage all Indians to use edible chocolate Lord Ganesha idols during Poojan & Visarjan instead of the traditional idols because the chemicals, plaster of Paris and non-biodegradable materials in traditional idols leave a destructive trail after they are removed, said Raju Sabnani.

I believe there is a need to spread more & more awareness about using edible idols in Ganpati Poojan to avoid environmental harm added Raju Sabnani.
