AN APPEAL

Dear Devotees, Our Joy knows no bounds with enthusiasm Our Joys know no bounds with enthusiasm when it's time for Lord Mahaganapati to arrive and bless us. The fast ensuing Ganeshotsav is our 64th and our 5-day celebrations will begin from Thursday the 13th of September 2018 and continue until Monday the 17th of September 2018. We are indebted to our Revered Swamiji, H. H. Shrimad Sudhindra Tirtha Swamiji, with whose blessings and guidance we have been able to perform this luminous Ganeshotsav. Our guiding light now is the present Mathadhipati of Sri Kashi Math Samsthan, H. H. Shrimad Samyamindra Tirtha Swamiji from whom we have sought blessings, and Prayers are also offered at the Ubhaya Vrindavans atWalkeshwarSri Kashi Math. We wish to inform you that during the last Ganeshotsav celebrations over 66,000 poojas were performed by devotees which included, nearly 8,000 Tulabhars that are usually offered by devotees on fulfillment of their prayers.

GSB seva mandal has been managing fantastically for so many years. Unfortunately we experienced a medical emergency and the experience turned out to be a nightmare as the management was poor. There were people fainting around in the que as they allowed crowd to get inside the pandal and made them wait for a very long time.the blowers were not working. The volunteers were busy getting in their personal relative's n friends in the VIP que.and for a long time no one was hearing the request the barricades put up in the centre didn't hv any openings in between I.e if there's an emergency in d center . The person will hv to walk out completely cutting the stranded crowd,which is not easy. There was no Public announcement system inside d pandal for medical emergency. Neither any walkie talkie to get connected to the security help desk outside d pandal. Most importantly why r people allowed inside d pandal when there's no space. People could have waited outside in d que atleast they had air to breathe . Ambulance was available but we were informed about it after we used our contacts to get one on our own. Also ambulance was exclusively Only of Hinduja hospital. I mean if it's any other hospital nearby we won't get the facility of the ambulance..... Request to strongly improve the systems for the next year as devotees wait for this Darshan n it should take place...

I have been a regular visitor at this place, and since then i have seen the services been downgraded badly. No proper queuing of people in lane format, in one lane nearly three persons go in group. The footwear stands were all full and some footwear were seen all over near entry and exit points. The person going in thru the line, and the person taking the footwear get caught in each other, and a small stampede like situation takes place, The person taking the footwear and moving out should have been totally covered and not seen by those entering the premises. There is no provision of taxis made by the authorities, as it would have been of great help. We should talk to the taxi union, and request them to provide taxis for all. After entering the premises, there is more bias approach, i waited in que for nearly 1hour, so that i can take my breakfirst, but as my number approached, i was told that the breakfirst is discontinued and now lunch would be served, i humbly accepted the order, but your karsewaks /sewadars would bring their relatives and without any que would push them through the line and would take them in. My question is why such incidents are happening, are we not paying the money, then why are we being such treatment.

HOPE THAT YOU WILL LOOK INTO THE...
