Volunteers are needed for various activities that are conducted
during the bhajan program:
If you like to volunteer for the present month, please contact
obhajan@hotmail.com
The volunteer sign up sheet will be available during
the program. Please sign up for the particular month that
you will be interested to take up the task.
Bhajan
moderater: To moderate the bhajan
program by calling the names of the participants to
sing bhajans. This is just to reduce the transition
time and make the bhajan singing flow smoothly.
Announcements:
Sometimes announcements are made to introduce the
sponsor of the program, any activities that relate
to Odia community, any upcoming program change, visitors
etc.
Sponsors:
Although initially the program started
in cost sharing basis, to make the program less confusing
for the new participants, the program continued with
support from sponsors.
Dinner
Discussion Moderater: The moderater
selects the dinner speaker and topic of dinner discussion
(if it will be a common topic for all).
Children's
Program: To engage children in various
activities. The plan I have in mind is the following:
Children
bhajan (10 minutes in the beginning)
Odia/sanskrit
prayer learning(half an hour during adult bhajan)
Children
bhajan (10 minutes after Arati)
Odia
lessons (half an hour during prabachana)
Activities
such as coloring, story telling etc. (during dinner
discussion)
