INSPIRING STORY - 2 ( SAMPURNAM )

 

                              In our Hindu civilization, we believe there are 33 crore Gods and goddesses. We choose our God as per our ambitions in our life. For example, if one wishes to gain strength we worship Lord Hanuman, if one wishes for sharp intellect, we worship Lord Ganesh. One can call it God, energy, consciousness anything. Our Sanatana Dharma has given a simple method to reach Him by idolizing our favorite Lord. We bring an idol or a photo frame at home and experience the almighty in that idol as it is easy to visualize Him in form of an idol or a frame. But sometimes after many years the idols, frames might get old and we wish to replace them. Some people just drown the idols, frames in water bodies or keep them below the trees. Every year more than 1 million idols are discarded similarly. This behavior can cause an environmental issue. Idols in the past were made up of clay, but now they are of plastic, plaster of Paris etc. For this situation, Sampurnam comes to your rescue.

 

              Advocate Trupti Gaikwad has formed one organization by the name ‘Sampurnam’ in the year 2019. This organization collects discarded idols, photo frames of Gods, Goddess and even ancestors. Then they properly conduct Uttar pooja of the idols and then recycle them into beautiful toys. The pages of photo frames are recycled into fertilizers. This pious work started from Nashik and now it has reached various parts of Maharashtra like Mumbai, Pune, Solapur, Yeola, Aurangabad. Many friends of Trupti have joined her in this work. Today everyone from Trupti’s family is so proud of her.

              Sampurnam is not only helping to keep our environment clean and fresh but also supporting our culture and our traditions. Any God-loving person doesn’t like to see idols of our beloved Lord in a very unhealthy way. When one wishes to bring change in society there are many ways one can bring that change. Only positive intent is required.
