Proposed service programs to Vedic learners and to Vridha Ashram

 

I and some our friends living in the USA from the last 35 years are

doing some pay back to the Universe whenever we visit India.

Due to passage of our parents our visits to India are becoming less

frequent.

 

Subramanya Bharathula is doing a great service. That is very helpful

for people like me.

 

When ever we visit. A deaf and dumb school or to a old age home we

find out there needs ,their and try to match them.

 

Some of us do Anna danam and Vastra danam on occasions such as

marriage anniversaries, birth days and on the days when our parents

passed away.

 

What was done before?

 

Giving beds sheets, saris, simple things like soaps, buckets, Mugs

and and some reading material.

Buying some Rice grains, toor dal Etc (kandi pappu etc).

 

Ceiling fans.

 

Plastic chairs, mats (chapa), pillows etc.We asked the people who

cook, found their needs and purchased necessary utensils.

 

We did tell local (India) people " this is what we are doing " .Some

local people came forward.

Even here in USA many people got interested.

 

Saying that it will appease the malefic planets, made many more

peoples came forward (it is also true).This is not nor for beating

our own drums, but bring it to other peoples attention.

 

Doing Anna danam with rice cooked with TIL (sesame seeds), cooked

wheat ,

will please Saturn and Surya planets. Fortunately subramanyam

Bharathula offers the privilege of getting this service done at

Markapur Sri Datta temple.

 

Some of these funds came from Dasamsa vratha, as some give a small %

of their income for charities.

A friend of mine said " we are blessed, we are not disabled, we have

a good career, we have enough money, and We are not starving. Let

us share it with some other people in need.

 

Some of the conditions in the old age homes, lack of funding for the

Vedic schools is really dis heartening.

 

Some of friends have specific Interests. That is not a problem.

Like my good friend when she visited India could not find a Toilet

when needed, built several toilets at public places for women.

 

Like my friend who visited the cremation place (smashan) where his

father was cremated found pigs and dogs roaming in that .Place (He

could not reach in time) got the place cleaned up and funded

platforms for cremation.

 

I think frequent postings of what is being done, will stimulate more

people to come forward.
