Ashirwada Poojawa





 The conventional "Ashirwada Poojawa" for the academic year of 2021/22 was held on the 28th of April, 2023, at the Kelaniya Raja Maha Viharaya. It was organised by the second-year undergraduates of the Department of Human Resource Management with the support of the department lecturer panel headed by Senior Lecturer, Mr. Priyadarshana Peiris, and the third- and fourth-year fellowships. This religious event was organised with the purpose of extending a warm welcome to the freshmen of the department and invoking blessings upon them as they embarked on their academic journey.




The ritual began with a serene and spiritually enriching teaching of the dharma (Dharma Deshanawa), where students and lecturers gathered to listen to words of wisdom and guidance. The "Ata Pirikara" (Eight-Fold Offering) was offered by a few students along with a few essential iteams for the use of the Buddhist monks of the temple, signifying the students' gratitude and respect.


All activities relating to the event were able to be carried out with precision and sincerity, resulting in a successful culmination. The "Ashirwada Poojawa" for the year 2023 ended with the establishment of unity and mentorship within the student community.
