‘ कोल्हापूर हायकर्स ‘ परिवार आयोजित
‘एक पहाट पन्हाळ्यावर'
साजरी करूयात यंदाची दिवाळी गड-किल्ल्यांच्या सहवासात
दिनांक:९ नोव्हेंबर २०१५ सोमवार
ठिकाण : किल्ले पन्हाळगड
“पहाट दिवाळीची…….भेट पन्हाळगडाची
दिपोत्सवाच्या जोडीला ….साथ तुम्हा सर्वांची”
जास्तीत जास्त संख्येने सहभागी व्हा ……
बदलत्या काळात इतिहासाचे भान सुटू नये आणि किल्ल्यांचे महत्व प्रत्येक तरुणापर्यंत पोहचावे यासाठी कोल्हापूर हायकर्स सतत प्रयत्नशील असते. प्रत्येक वर्षी वेगळ्या पद्धतीने अनेक उपक्रम साजरे करण्यात कोल्हापूर हायकर्स नेहमी पुढे असतात. आपण आपली दिवाळी कायम घरातच साजरी करत असतो, पण ज्या शिवाजी महाराजांनी स्वराज्य स्थापन करून संपूर्ण महाराष्ट्र उजळून टाकला त्याच महाराजांनी घडवलेले अनेक किल्ले दीपावलीच्या काळात अंधारातच असतात. नेमक हेच लक्षात कोल्हापूर हायकर्स तर्फे या वर्षी पन्हाळा गडावर ९ नोव्हेंबरच्या म्हणजेच धनत्रयोदशीच्या पहाटे दीपोत्सव आयोजित केला आहे.
आजची तरुण पिढी इतिहासापासून दूर जात आहे अशीच सर्वांची धारणा आहे. पण कोल्हापूर हायकर्सच्या मावळ्यांनी दोन वर्षांपूर्वी एकत्र येउन अशा नाविन्यपूर्ण उपक्रमाची सुरुवात केली. पहिल्याच वर्षी या उपक्रमास तरुणाईचा उत्स्फूर्त असा प्रतिसाद लाभला. यंदा या उपक्रमाचे तिसरे वर्ष असून गेल्या दोन वर्षांच्या तुलनेत यंदाचा उपक्रम व्यापक असेल. ज्या छत्रपतींनी आपल्या कर्तुत्वाने या स्वराज्यातील रयतेचे आयुष्य उजळून टाकले त्याच राजांच्या किल्ल्यांना उजळवणयासाठी चला एकत्र येऊया आणि आपल्या आयुष्यातील एक क्षण ह्या गड-किल्ल्यांना देऊया….
ज्यांना ह्या कार्यक्रमास हजर राहणे शक्य होणार नाही त्यांनी आपल्या परीने सहकार्य करावे. प्रत्येकाने किमान एक “मेणाची पणती” स्वतः तर्फे द्यावी.
प्रत्येक दिवाळीला आपल्या घरात होणाऱ्या खरेदीच्या खर्चापेक्षा हि किंमत नक्कीच कमी आहे ……
महाराजांचे मावळे आहोत …..त्याप्रमाणेच राहू
पुन्हा एकदा पन्हाळगडला… दिपोत्सवाच्या प्रकाशात पाहू …..
===================================================
कार्यक्रमाचे स्वरूप …..
दिनांक:८ नोव्हेंबर २०१५
* रात्री ११ वाजेपर्यंत आपल्या परिवारातील सर्व शिवप्रेमींनी पन्हाळगडावर बाजीप्रभु पुतळ्याजवळ एकत्रित यावे, जेणेकरून पुढील कार्यक्रमाची आखणी करण्यास सोपे जाईल.सर्व मावळे एकत्र जमल्यावर मावळ्यांनी पुढील दिपोत्सवाच्या तयारीला लागायचे आहे .
* छत्रपती संभाजी महाराज व डाँ अमर आडके यांच्या हस्ते शिवमूर्तीचे पुजन करून दीपोत्सवाची सुरूवात होईल.

(टीप :क्रुपया मातीची पणती आणण्याचे टाळावे जेणे करुन हाताळण्यास सोयीस्कर पडेल)
