“Ashta Siddhi Nava Nidhi Ke Daata, Asa Bara Deenha Jankee Maata.”

You (Hanuman) are the bestower of eight super-powers (Ashta Siddhi) and nine divine treasures (Nava Nidhi), as such was the boon given to you by Mother Janaki (Sita).

– Hanuman Chalisa, Tulsidas – 16^th Century Awadhi Poet

Ram Navami was celebrated with great fervour at New Horizon College of Engineering. The celebrations commenced with a procession from Gate 1, where members of the New Horizon family gathered and proceeded to the lawn near the Open Stage. The significance of Ram Navami was eloquently explained by the emcees, followed by a video presentation depicting the life of Lord Ram. A staff member rendered the Rama Raksha Stotra, adding a devotional essence to the occasion.

The pooja and aarti dedicated to Bhagavan Shri Ram were conducted with a serene sense of divinity. The ceremony was attended by the President, Mr. Dhermesh Manghnani; the Vice-Chairperson, Mrs. Renuka Manghnani; the principals of NHCE and NHCK, Mr. Manjunatha and Mr. Bodhisatvan; along with the Executive Directors, Heads of Departments, teaching and non-teaching staff, and students.

The event featured captivating cultural performances, including an electrifying dance drama based on the Ramayana, presented in Hindi and Kannada. Each performance evoked deep devotion, leaving a profound impact on the audience. Bhajans rendered by the kirtaniyas of ISKCON further enriched the spiritual atmosphere.

The celebration concluded with the distribution of prasada, including kosambari, kesari bath, and panaka. Members of the New Horizon family partook in the offerings with reverence, bringing the event to a spiritually fulfilling close.
