Ekakivedam’s Swachhta Abhiyan: Cleaning the Spirit of Devotion After Ganesh Visarjan “Jahan bhakti hoti hai, wahan shuddhata bhi zaroori hoti hai.”

Ganesh Chaturthi — ek aisa tyohaar jo poore Bharat mein khushi, utsaah aur bhakti se manaya jaata hai.

Lekin jab visarjan samapt hota hai, toh kai baar humari aastha ke saath-saath hamari zimmedariyaan peeche reh jaati hain.

Isi baat ko samajhte hue, Ekakivedam Foundation ke volunteers ne ek misaal pesh ki — seva ke roop mein safai.

Bhakti ke baad, Seva ki shuruaat

Ganesh visarjan ke baad jab log apne ghar laut gaye, tab nadi aur naliyon ke kinare kuch aur hi drishya tha —

tooti murtiyon ke tukde, kapde, plastic ke thailiyan, aur phool-patte ka dher.

Kisi ne socha bhi nahi tha ki ye sab ek din nature ke aansoon ban kar wapas aayenge.

Par Ekakivedam Foundation ke sevadhariyon ne isko sirf kachra nahi, balki prithvi ki pukar samjha.

Unhone bina deri kiye, apne gloves, mask aur bags lekar Ek “Swachhta Abhiyan” ki shuruaat ki.

Nahar ki safai – ek prernaadayak kadam

Ekakivedam ke volunteers ne nadi ke kinare pahunch kar dekha —

kaafi had tak plastic bottles, puja samagri aur murtiyon ke avshesh ne paani ko prabhavit kar diya tha.

Phir kya tha — sab ne milkar teamwork aur seva bhavna ke saath nadi ke kinaaron ko saaf karna shuru kiya.

Kuch log kachra utha rahe the, kuch log paani ke kinare se murti ke tukde nikal rahe the,

aur kuch volunteers local logon ko environmental awareness de rahe the —

ki bhakti tab hi sampoorn hoti hai jab hum apne aas-paas ke prakriti ko bhi pavitra rakhein.

Seva ke roop mein shuddh bhakti

Is abhiyan ne ek sandesh diya —

Ganpati Bappa sirf moorti mein nahi, har us safai ke kaam mein hain jahan hum prakriti ka samman karte hain.

Ekakivedam ke liye safai ek samajik zimmedari se badhkar atma ki shuddhi hai.

Unhone sirf kachra nahi uthaya, balki logon ke man se udasinata bhi uthai —

jo kehti hai, “ye mera kaam nahi hai.”

Seva sabka kaam hai — aur ye abhiyan ne is baat ko jeevant kar diya.

Prerna sabke liye

Aaj jab bhi koi woh jagah dekhta hai, jahan kabhi kachra tha,

ab wahan ek swachh aur shant nadi behti hai —

jo kehti hai, “jab insaan chaahe, toh badlav sambhav hai.”

Ekakivedam Foundation ne ye sabit kar diya ki

Swachhta hi Seva hai, aur Seva hi Bhakti hai.

Conclusion: Let’s Keep the Spirit Alive

Ganesh Chaturthi jaise pavitra tyohaar ke baad hum sabka farz banta hai ki

hum apne aas-paas ke vatavaran ko saaf aur pavitra rakhein.

Ekakivedam ke volunteers ne jo shuruaat ki, wo sirf ek din ka abhiyan nahi —

ye ek andolan hai — Mahashakti ke saath Prakriti ke liye.
