Ideas needed for eco-friendly alternatives to Ganpati immersion
14th September 2007
Dear Mr. Vinay Somani,
We have been carrying out SARVAJANIK ECO-FRIENDLY GANESH VISARJAN since three years by creating artificial wells, at Nana-Nani Park in Pestom Sagar road no06, Chembur.
This has the following benefits
1] Saves the water bodies like lakes and ponds in Mumbai.
2] The eco-system in ponds/lakes is undisturbed
3] Reduction in traffic jams
4] Prevention of Noise, Water & Air pollution
5] Security of senior citizens and children is assured.
We Need suggestions from different people on the following issue:
Routinely all the clay idols get dissolved completely in the well, but the Plaster of Paris idols do not dissolve completely. So with great care and proper rituals we collect these undissolved idols and immerse them into DEEP Sea after the festival is over.
It is my request to you to take up this issue on karmayog so that we get proper feedback and suggestions from different people whether there is any other ECO-FRIENDLY alternative to immersion in the deep sea without hurting the sentiments of people.
It is very important to protect our oceans too!!!
Regards
