The Annual Chaitri Havan was organized at the terrace of Sai Bazaar Santacruz West, Mumbai on 16th April 2017 from 3.30 pm onwards.
Shrifal hom Vano time was 5 pm and Mahaprasad time was 7 pm onwards.
Mrs. Geetaben and Mr. Jagdishbhai Chapatwala performed the Chaitra Havan on behalf of Jagruti Mandal. Many thanks to them for agreeing to perform the Havan. We wish them both many more years of marital bliss and good health.
All the community members took active part in performing the Havan and Mataji ‘s Aarti.
On the Havan day, this year, the Jagruti Mahila Mandal had arranged with a homegrown and homemade group called “Rozi Roti” to set up a counter to see, buy or order nearly more than 1000 items of Grains/ Masala / pulses. These items are totally homemade or homegrown on private farms and directly sourced from farmers. The prices were less than market prices and the items were of top quality. The members placed their orders with them after the Havan & were assured that the payments could be made when their orders were delivered at home.
It was a successful experience for both the Mandal management team and also its members.
Many members donated generously (about forty-two thousand rupees were received as donations) to the Jagruti Mandal & Jagruti Mahila Mandal.
The evening ended on a high note with a finger licking delicious dinner inclusive of Aamras puri, Sweet Malpua, Veg spring Rolls etc.
The Mandal wishes to thank Jagruti Asmani for the venue and all arrangements. Mandal thanks Prabhaben Patel for Havan Pooja arrangements.
Havan prasad was contributed as follows:
Prabhaben Patel – Sheera and Mix dry fruit prasad.
Mamta Randeria – Penda.
Jagruti Asmani – Milk Barfi & Ghee for the Havan.
JM thanks Jagdishbhai Chapatwala for making catering arrangements.

A special mention of thanks to Mrs. Neha Asmani for her technical support for our JM & JMM websites and also for handling facebook pages of both the mandals all through the year.
