Thaipusam 2010
THAIPUSAM is an annual Hindu festival which draws a large gathering in Singapore, and celebrated at Little India. Several hundred devotees spear their cheeks with long, shiny steel rods and pierce their chests and backs with small, hook-like needles in penance. Others, including young children, might join the procession carrying only milk pots. The crowd gathers at the Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple in Serangoon Road before marching barefoot to the Sri Thendayuthapani Temple in Tank Road via a 4km stretch. The devotees consist mainly of Indians and a mix of other races.
As part of Hinduism Society (HS) goal to contribute to the community, a huge number of volunteers from the HS of the National University of Singapore are assigned various tasks, mainly in route marshalling. The crowd builds up even before the midnight of Thaipusam, and most of the volunteers provide assistance by controlling the size of the devotees into the temple in order to avoid congestion and to maintain a sustainable flow. Meanwhile, other volunteers scout around the temple and attend to those who are not feeling well and also to provide information to tourists. As for this year, with the aid of policemen, volunteers were able to keep up with the size and pace of 9500 devotees throughout the day-long event!

Our
Success from our first-time-ever: Shravanam
Shravanam,
our Hinduism Appreciation/Awareness month marked another
success, in our calendar of events. It is notable that it was
our first time organizing Shravanam, packing it with
activities every week..
It was well-received not only by Hindus
but by non-Hindus as well.. I guess I should say we gave a new
face/perspective to what is "believed to be Hinduism"..
These
were the series of activities that were conducted, under the
'Shravanam' banner:
-(YOU Name It) YNI Workshop
-Exhibition@Library
-Face Upliftment of the HS Forum
-Temple tour for Exchange Students
-Yoga Workshop, Going back to Tradition
