Activities At Chitpavan Brahman Sangh, Nashik

The core purpose of forming this organization itself was to unite all the community members, and thereby taking care of them in terms of health, education, religious, social and financial ways. And to achieve all the above we regularly engage ourselves into various activities like Organizational, Religious, Educational, health and business forums.

1) Organizational Activities:

Shri. Bhagwan Parshuram Jayanti, Chaitra-Gouri Haladi-Kunku, Hartalika Pujan, Ganeshotsav etc. programs are being held from the very beginning of Chitpavan Brahman Sangh Formation.

On every Parshuram Jayanti, Lord Shri. Parshuram is worshiped and his Pavamanabhishek Pujan is done.

On Hartalika Pujan, newly married women (SawashNa) attend in huge numbers to perform the puja. And main thing is this puja is performed by women only.

After that Ganeshotsav which is very old traditional festival of 5 days is happily celebrated. During these 5 days we usually arrange various competitions and other activities like Flower arrangement, Rangoli, Cooking skills, and indoor games like Carom, Chess, Table Tennis, etc.

2) Religious Activities:

We organize various religious programs and help the people to grasp the basic essence of Sanskar. Among them on Late. Radhabai Gadre' Punyatithi (death aniv.) we arrange Kirtana, Shrawani, Niranjan Swami Punyatithi, Mahalaxmi pujan (i.e., Asthmi Puja). On Ashwin Shuddha Ashtami we perform Shri. Mahalaxmi Pujan. This is followed every year since last 40+ years. During this Ashtami puja women gather in large number and blow Ghagar.

We also arrange a Common Vratbandh (Samudayik Munji) for financially weaker sections of community.

3) Educational Activities:

Our organization is always ready to help the community in terms of education. We provide all types of and all streams of books from our R.K. Patwardhan Book Library. Various students have been benefited from this service which were having some financial problems during their studies. Also, many of them are now well settled and successful in their respective fields.

We also offer scholarships every year which are ranging from 1 to 1.5 lacs. Perhaps, we also provide financial aid to the students for their higher education who are then supposed to repay their dues after getting a good job.

On joint behalf of Chitpavan Brahman Sangh and Raja Shivaji Margadarshan Kendra we arrange various career seminars for NDA exams. We also organize the most popular Math Competition amongst the school students named "Late. D. R. Kaprekar Memorial" Math Competition. This is arranged every year since last 25 years. At the starting, Kaprekar Sir was himself used to organize this competition. And we are proud that we have still managed to continue his great efforts.

4) Health Related Activities:

Under health related activities, if necessary we also try n provide financial aid to the community members of 40+ age who are suffering from any deadly desease.

Our work doesn't stop here. We also felicitate offers taken by community people by awarding them with Parshuram Puraskar.

Till now we have felicitated Shri. Prabhakar Modak, Bapurao Manohar, Vaidya. Annashastri Datar, Vaidya. Annashastri Karmarkar for their social service.

We also organize health seminars and blood donation camps from time to time.

5) Business Forum ( Udyojak Manch):
