About the Ayyappa Bhakatha Sangamam
World Ayyappa Seva Trust is the largest Ayyappa Devotees Organization involving all Ayyappa devotees in North America and around the World. WAST’s ultimate goal is to unite Ayyappa devotees around the world by enrichment of SANADHANA DHARMA philosophy.
World Ayyappa Seva Trust helps to create a forum to build family networks and provide the path to spiritual enlightenment. Since its inception in 1988, it has won support from thousands of Ayyappa devotees in North America and around the world. WAST conducts SEVAS every year including Sivarathri Celebration, Painkuni Uthram , Ekadishi , Karkidaka vavu , Thaippooyam , Avanai Avittom , Ponkala , Makara Sankarthi Festival and Ayyappa Padi Pooja Maholsavam .
This year, WAST will conduct a Ayyappa Bhkatha Sangamam and Ayyappa Yajnam in celebration of its Silver Jubilee. This auspicious event will be held on October 12 & 13, 2013 (Saturday and Sunday) in Mahwah, NJ. Being its 25 th anniversary, this year’s convention will be magnificent in nature and superb in quality spread over 2 days. Over 1000 People will converge into the Hindu Samaj Mandir Auditorium in Mahwah to celebrate our Ayyappa Yajnam in a mind blowing retreat. A variety of cultural programs, Poojas, interactive discourses, family network and youth programs will make it multi-dimensional. There will be a Dance Drama extravaganza led by Beena Menon and team.
This organization is filled with high ideals of hope to preserve our culture from generation to generation and to ensure that it does not fade away in the background as our children take up responsible and commanding roles in this far away land. They should not forget their roots and should hold onto their cultural and religious history. They should be proud of the fact that they believe in "Thathwamasi ".
We, the convention committee members cordially, invite each and every one of you and your family and friends to participate in this memorable and rare event and immerse you in this festival of arts, culture, Poojas, Bhajans and Yajnam. It also gives you the opportunity to taste a variety of dishes from south Indian states (Kerala, Tamil & Telugu).
