Gabbapatihari Pinkam Series
The series of Gabbapatihariya Pinkam, which is held once every six months by the Managala Temple, has been held for three consecutive years. This series has been initiated with the intention of bequeathing healthy children to the society. This programme for expecting mothers will be held from 8.30 am to 4.00 pm on the day of the event. The morning Buddha worship and meditation session are aimed at the spiritual healing of mothers and newborn children. Next, a special discussion focusing on the mental health of mothers will be held by a preacher. During this day-long devotional series, nutritious breakfast and lunch for mothers along with morning and afternoon tea sessions will be held with a special focus on maternal nutrition. At the end of the programme, dry rations and the necessary baby items will be distributed to the expecting mothers. Mothers of all ethnicities are welcome to take part in this pious event reflecting the preaching of Lord Buddha.
