Seva in the Navi Mumbai villages affected by rains

Sairam,

 

By the abundant grace and blessings of our beloved Bhagawan Baba, the

seva

in the areas affected by Rains in Navi Mumbai which started on last

Sunday

(31st July 2005) is going on well and touching the hearts of many needy

people. Every alternate day there is a medical camp in the affected

areas.

The seva dals involved in the seva continuously felt Swami's presence

and

unseen hand guiding, motivating and protecting them in the Seva.

 

Yesterday (7th Aug), the seva was done in the affected villages of Navi

Mumbai.

 

CBD-Kharghar Samithi distributed around 100 packets of Amrut Kalash

(Annadhaan) at the Dhamola village. The small bridge to the village has

got

destroyed and the approach to the village is totally cut off. Sisters

Geetha

and Sandhya managed to cross to the village and distributed the coupons

to

every village house after identifying their needs. The materials were

offloaded near the bridge. The villagers came near the bridge and

collected

the Amrut Kalash with the chant of

SAI RAM and their face was lit by the light of love of our swami.

 

During the same time one of the villager was suffering with a serious

eye

infection and Brother Vinay Mehrotra immediately took him to Panvel

clinic

to get treated.

 

Nerul Samithi distributed around another 110 packets of Amrut Kalash in

the

Belpada village, also distributed some in Palshpe / Ganeshwadi village

near

Panvel. This villages have requested for medical help. Brother Chennuri

&

Brother Nagarajan are working towards having a medical camp in this

villages

on 14th Aug.

 

Panvel Samithi distributed around 600 packets of Amrut Kalash in the

Doodhani village. Here too, the village is totally cut off from the

Panvel

township. Panvel samithi did the medical camp at Gadheshwar. Apart from

Amrut Kalash distribution they spent lot of time in the village having

Bhajans, Balvikas and giving confidence and moral support to the

villagers.

 

Vashi Samithi distributed around 600 packets of Amrut Kalash in 5

adivasi

villages which is 10kms further away from the Shiravalli village. There

was

a medical camp at the 'Sri Sathya Sai Dhanvantri Medical Centre' where

around 100 patients were given medical treatment after which the entire

team

went to the interior Adivasi village. Medical camps were conducted at

Yermal

village and Bannechi Vadi village. Here around 160 patients were

treated.

The patients were very

sick without food. There were children with high fever,extreme

malnutrition

and diarrohoea.

There was a 25 year old paralysed woman beaten by her husband into the

situation and pregnant in condition.Only Swami can save these people.

Because of poverty and uncertain conditions due to destruction by rain,

this

people seem to have lost all hopes.

 

Amrut Kalash was distributed in 5 adivasi villages, viz. Yermal,

BannechiVadi, Adivasiwada, Mohodhar and Karambeli. Blankets was

distributed

in the Adivasiwada.

 

In the narrow jungle road from Morba, the vehicle could reach only

certain

points, after which the seva dals had to walk to the village. For the

Karambeli village, a major disaster was averted by Swami's grace. This

village was just beneath the mountain where a landslide happened on the

tragic Tuesday 26th night. The entrie land and fields has been

destroyed,

except miraculously the village survived. People live in this village

with

fear of re-occurence. This village is cut

off due to the road having got washed away. From the place where the

vehicle

could reach, the Seva dals walked 6 Kms to reach the village and

distributed

the Amrut Kalash to every house in this village. At every step, Swami's

unseen hand was pushing us to the village, making us walk the difficult

mountain path. At one stage the vehicle broke down, inspite of all

efforts

it would not start, after 15-20 minutes try hopes were getting dashed,

at

that time sister Geeta Shetty took out the Vibhuti packet and every one

chanting Swami's name poured it into the engine area and with Swami's

grace

the vehicle started again.

 

In the 6-7 km walk to reach Karambeli village, Swami ensured smooth

passage

to the village protecting us. There was No rain when we walked and when

we

all got into a school the rain poured. Soon the rain stopped and again

gave

us the passage to walk back after distribution.

Even at 7 pm in the rainy weather the sunlight was there to lead us

back to

Morbha. We continuously chanted Bhajans and Sai Gayatri as we walked in

the

jungle. Once all of them got into the vehicle the rains again poured

heavily. Swami ensured NOT one seva dal got drenched or

trapped and everyone safely reached SAI PREM around 10 pm in the night.

 

In Karambeli and few adivasi villages from the tragic night, many have

not

eaten properly. Many have taken to alcohol prepared from dirty remains

and

eat crabs and other animals for survival.

 

In almost all the villages, the fields have got destroyed, the road

connectivity is damaged and washed away. The villagers need to be

rehabilitated. Agriculture has been there main occupation and in most

of the

villages they used to feed themselves with the crops they grew.

 

No other organisations have reached this affected adivasi villages and

it is

only SSSSO that has reached to this difficult places. Swami's prasadam

given

to the villagers has given them HOPE to live once again.

 

Along with the Amrut Kalash packets, Sri Sathya Sai Poshak Ahar was

distributed to all the village childrens who enjoyed it.

 

Overall, it was pure compassion of Swami for HE gave the opportunity to

be

HIS instrument and thus showering HIS blessings to all .

 

Sai Prem,
