RCPTA Bodhi Pooja Pinkama
Royal College Past Teachers’ Association held its annual Bodhi Pooja Pinkama on the 1st June 2024 at the Asokaramaya Temple in Thimbirigasyaya at 3.00pm. flowers were offered to the Bodhiya initially, but the ceremony was held inside the Budhu Madura due to bad weather conditions, considering the health condition of the chief priest who was not well.< br /> About 40 -50 members participated in the Bodhi Pooja with beautiful offerings of flowers and also the gilanpasa. Everything was done meticulously. Offerings of Atapirikara was done along with additional pirikara.br /> The chief priest read the list of our members who are sick and unable to participate to wish them speedy recovery as well as to those members who are weak due to old age. Also, merits were offered to those members who are no more.br /> The chief priest delivered his sermon in Sinhala as well as in English. He appreciated the fact that Royal College was holding this annual Bodhi Pooja to bless its members. This year the organizers had arranged a Sath Budhu Wandanawa as well which was something new for the RCPTA.br /> May the merits gained be bestowed on all the members of RCPTA. Our thanks go out to the chief organizer Mrs. Lakshmi Samarasinghe for a well-organized function..
