Manava seva

November 7, 2008

Respected members,

In a short span of a few months, we came to know of an orphanage - ambadi

orphanage and a veda teaching centre both of which require financial assistance.

There may be many other institutions doing honourable charity works needing

financial help. My suggestion is, why not we all, as Guruvayoor group, pool our

resources and contribute to worthy causes. Members interested can contribute in

whichever or whatever way they can. That way we can have a group contribution.

In Bahrain, a group of malayalees collect money every year (each contribute

accoring to their will subject to a minimum) which is contributed to Valsalya

Bhavan - an orphanage run by a Chrishtian missionery in Cochin. The members can

go to Valsalya Bhavan and see for themselves as to how the money is spent.

Likewise, can we too as a group, collect money, either halfyearly or yearly and

send it to some orphanages or such suitable causes as decided by the group? I

think it will be a very good service we can do to the society.

This is a blessed group and I am sure we will have Guruvayoorappan's blessings

in this endeavour also.

Please let me know what you all think of it.

Jai Sree Krishna

Krishna Guruvayoorappa,

Dear Seemaji,

Thanks you very much for coming out with a very constructive idea to help those who are less fortunate than us, even though we are not sure when them same is going to be materialised. I request all the devotees, those who can afford, to come forward with some help for the social cause.

If any one can make available the bank details of the veda school, I would like to contribute some money for the noble purpose.

Thanks and prayers,

G. Hari Prasad

Re: [Guruvayur] Manava seva

Hariji,

Thanks for your reply. In fact yours is the only mail I

received for this proposal. I had talked about this to Sunilji some time back

and he only asked me to put this idea in the group. But unfortunately, nobody

seems to be interested.

The idea is very simple. We have more than 1000 members in this group. If all

the members can contribute Rs. 100/- in a year (less than Rs. 10/- per month

- I hope I am not asking for too much), just imagine, we can have Rs.

100,000/- - a decent sum that we can donate to any orphanage or any other

such good cause, as decided by the group. It is as they say " Palla

thulli peru vellam " .

I request all the members to think about it and let me

know what you think - whether favorable or unfavaourable.

Jai Sree Krishna

When you think of donating to a worthy cause, everybody have their own preferences. An orphanage, or a Veda patasala, or a charitable organisation which gives donations to the deserving young boys and girls to pursue their studies, or to a annadana trust which gives food to anybody who comes etc. Most of the orphanages are unregistered in Kerala and the organisers make money out of it abandoning the children. Unless one has very trust worthy background information about the organisers, it is useless to send money to them. Hence when recommending an orphanage please get the correct picture and then recommend.

Dear Menonji,

Thank you very much for your valuable suggestion, you are right. I had sent a detailed message to this group, recommending "Ambady Balasramam", an upcoming orphanage in Tiruvalla. I did that after thorough study about its background, its organisers etc.

My mail also contains contact details of persons concerned and anybody who wish to make further enquiry about this organisation should feel free to do so, and ensure the genuinety of the same before making any contributions.

It is true there are so many fraudsters in this field also, just like any other field; but it is also a fact that there are so many good people in this world, which we should not forget.

With prayers

Dear all,

Radhe Krishna!

Seemaji's idea is very good. Let us work out the details. Although I

agree in principle, it is my opinion that we must

make sure the funds are not misused by unscrupulous elements as is

being done in most of the cases. Before we decide about the home

which we are planning to help, we should get proper details of its

antecedents and records of children who have been brought up there.

Otherwise it may also be a good idea to identify needy children and

directly offer help by adopting them into the fold.

Love

KVG.

Om Namo Narayanaya

I welcome the idea of Donations to the needy but do we, our group, need to collect money from members to distribute? Can that not be done by individually? I am of the humble opinion that money (Arthham) brings fortune and peril (Anarthham) at the same time. I have come across in the past that people joined as one group did good things but are separated due differences of opinion. I need not mention the names, but there are many such groups exist that we all know. I do not know if this is for Money, Name of fame? (Our Poonthanam wisely said about this in his Gnanapaana). I would like to quote a slokam from neethisaaram

arthaanaam aarjane dukkham, aarjithaananthu rakshane

aaye dukkham vyaye dukkham artha: kim dukkha baajanam

(meaning with my little limited knowledge) earning money is hard, after earning protecting (safe keeping) it is difficult, income as well as expense is difficult and thus Money itself is a vessel of difficulties and misfortune.

If money is collected by our group, Who will be the custodian of such a fund ? What if the custodian does something that few do not like and thus creating a friction and differences of opinion in our group which is having only one aim now that of "Bhakthi" alone?

My humble suggestion is anyone can do what ever he/she wants to do individually and do that without expecting anything in return.

Hari=Om

Giving to charity is a noble act. If one can aford to do it,

do it by all means but my humble opinion is that it should be an

individual's personal choice entirely.No charitable institution is

foolproof,whatever their claims.Find some desirable case and extend

assistance directly to the deserving person.. This is a Bhakti

related forum and therefore should we as a group get involved in money

matters. It may later lead to misunderstandings.

jai shree krishna !

I welcome the idea of Donations to the needy but do we, our group, need to collect money from members to distribute? Can that not be done by individually? I am of the humble opinion that money (Arthham) brings fortune and peril (Anarthham) at the same time. I have come across in the past that people joined as one group did good things but are separated due differences of opinion. I need not mention the names, but there are many such groups exist that we all know. I do not know if this is for Money, Name of fame? (Our Poonthanam wisely said about this in his Gnanapaana). I would like to quote a slokam from neethisaaram

arthaanaam aarjane dukkham, aarjithaananthu rakshane

aaye dukkham vyaye dukkham artha: kim dukkha baajanam

(meaning with my little limited knowledge) earning money is hard, after earning protecting (safe keeping) it is difficult, income as well as expense is difficult and thus Money itself is a vessel of difficulties and misfortune.

If money is collected by our group, Who will be the custodian of such a fund ? What if the custodian does something that few do not like and thus creating a friction and differences of opinion in our group which is having only one aim now that of "Bhakthi" alone?

My humble suggestion is anyone can do what ever he/she wants to do individually and do that without expecting anything in return.

When you think of donating to a worthy cause, everybody have their own preferences. An orphanage, or a Veda patasala, or a charitable organisation which gives donations to the deserving young boys and girls to pursue their studies, or to a annadana trust which gives food to anybody who comes etc. Most of the orphanages are unregistered in Kerala and the organisers make money out of it abandoning the children. Unless one has very trust worthy background information about the organisers, it is useless to send money to them. Hence when recommending an orphanage please get the correct picture and then recommend.

Hariji,

Thanks for your reply. In fact yours is the only mail I received for this proposal. I had talked about this to Sunilji some time back and he only asked me to put this idea in the group. But unfortunately, nobody seems to be interested.The idea is very simple. We have more than 1000 members in this group. If all the members can contribute Rs. 100/- in a year (less than Rs. 10/- per month - I hope I am not asking for too much), just imagine, we can have Rs. 100,000/- - a decent sum that we can donate to any orphanage or any other such good cause, as decided by the group. It is as they say "Palla thulli peru vellam".

I request all the members to think about it and let me know what you think - whether favorable or unfavaourable.

Jai Sree Krishna

Dear Seemaji,

Thanks you very much for coming out with a very constructive idea to help those who are less fortunate than us, even though we are not sure when them same is going to be materialised. I request all the devotees, those who can afford, to come forward with some help for the social cause.

If any one can make available the bank details of the veda school, I would like to contribute some money for the noble purpose.

Respected members,In a short span of a few months, we came to know of an orphanage - ambadi orphanage and a veda teaching centre both of which require financial assistance. There may be many other institutions doing honourable charity works needing financial help. My suggestion is, why not we all, as Guruvayoor group, pool our resources and contribute to worthy causes. Members interested can contribute in whichever or whatever way they can. That way we can have a group contribution. In Bahrain, a group of malayalees collect money every year (each contribute accoring to their will subject to a minimum) which is contributed to Valsalya Bhavan - an orphanage run by a Chrishtian missionery in Cochin. The members can go to Valsalya Bhavan and see for themselves as to how the money is spent. Likewise, can we too as a group, collect money, either halfyearly or yearly and send it to some orphanages or such suitable causes as

OM NAMO NARAYANAYA

Dear All

It is very interesting to see Seemaji’s suggestion and respected Shri.Chandraji’s reply. In fact I’m totally support the idea to help needy people. My belief is many people in our group probably doing it individually. Definitely Seemaji’s suggestion would bring others also in this procession.

As our group it is very difficult to collect money and distribute. As Chandraji well explained it leads to many conflicts and hope everybody takes in good aspects.

At the same time to work out Seemajis suggestion many hurdles are there including proper registration, comities, audits etc. Let bring up more ideas from this group.

With Prayers

Dear Seemaji,

You have come forward with a great idea. Don't feel that no one is

interested in it simply because no one responded to the mail. I think

all of us are doing such charity works individually. But as a group,

if we want to raise a fund, a lot of things are there. First of all we need

the consent of our Sunilji. Since it is money matter one should carefully

handle the subject. We have to find somebody to take the responsibilty

to open an account, handling and distribution, someone should monitor the

movements, such many things we have to decide. It is not simple as we think.

Ofcourse your idea of forming a fund is great. Instead of doing individual donations,

as a group if we can make something it will encourage many people to come

forward and donate as they can. Please go ahead with your plan and see

what we can do.

Regards and Prayers
