Mothers Day is a beautiful festival which celebrates the joys of
motherhood.On this day people pay tribute to their mothers and express
their love and gratitude for them. The idea of the festival was given by
poet and writer, Julia Ward Howe. However, it is due to the struggle of
Anna Jarvis that Mother's Day came to be celebrated on second Sunday of
May and was declared a holiday in US. The noble idea spread and Mothers
Day is now celebrated in several countries across the globe.
Society
for the Confluence of Festivals in India (SCFI) wishes to generate
awareness about wonderful thoughts behind Mothers Day and pay sincere
tribute to all mothers.
As a socially responsible manifestation, Society for the Confluence of
Festivals in India endeavors to create value for the Indian society by
introducing the beauty, grace and wisdom embodied in the various
festivals of India, thereby preserving India's rich cultural heritage.
We bring unique customs, traditions and goodness of Indian festivals to
form a distinct association known as the Society for the Confluence of
Festivals in India. Through this organization, we hope to form a mutual
respect for and foster the common bond that various Indian festivals
share.
The great diversity of Indian religious beliefs is projected through
the various festivals that are celebrated in India. They arise from the
innate desire of man to seek diversion from humdrum activities that help
in symbolizing, reflecting and enriching social life in a specific
cultural setting.
SCFI seeks to conserve and promote an
awareness of this rich and diversified cultural treasure amongst the
citizen of this country through various expositions that focus on the
tradition of excellence, conversing the famous legends, rituals,
mythology and philosophy of Indian Festivals and in turn facilitating an
awareness of their deeper and subtler values.
