Namaste,
HSS Seattle will be celebrating the Vijaya Dashami on Sunday, Oct 19th.
Every year Sangh celebrates Vijayadashami (Dussera) publicly with great enthusiasm. This ancient and traditional festival not only symbolizes the victory of good over evil, but also reminds us the ’shakti’ or positive power of unity that can be used for the welfare of humanity. Vijayadashami is also Sangh’s foundation day.
This year too, we have planned a program that will showcase physical and cultural group presentations by kids, youth and adults on this day. Please save the date and time, and join in the celebrations.
Date: Sunday, Oct 19th
Time: 4:00PM - 6:00PM (followed by dinner)
Venue: Crossroads Community Center (1600 NE 10th St. Bellevue, WA 98008)

The day dawned bright and clear. It was the perfect day for a hike! Last Saturday, on August 25, Anilji, Paragji, and Devendraji took the Kishore gana of Bellevue shaaka for a hike to Rattlesnake Ledge, a 2-mile hike to the top. The group consisted of me (Adhithyaa Rajakumar), Aditya Joglekar (Version #2), Soham Pant, Arun Palaniappan, and Akshath and Abhinand Sivaprasad. We met at the Bellevue shaaka at around 7:00 A.M. in the morning. Traveling in two groups in Anilji and Devendraji’s cars, all of us had a fun 20-minute ride to the hike: chatting about boy stuff, joking around, and talking excitedly about the big hike ahead of us. Once we arrived at the site, the shikshaks, Anilji, Paragji, and Devendraji, quickly made sure we had everything ready, and set off almost immediately.
