5. Family get together
Of late, families are failing to fulfill their duty as cultural training centres. Narendran could not have become Swami Vivekananda but for his motherââ¬â¢s contribution in his upbringing. There are so many such examples in our country. But, today that atmosphere is almost missing in families and we are simply copying western pattern in all walks of life. Relationship exists for the name sake. Keeping these aspects in mind, we organise families get together once in two months.
6. Nara Sewa Narayana Sewa
We request our friends and neighbors to donate one handful of rice each day before they start cooking, for the benefit of the poor and needy. This has to be done with a sense of gratitude to GOD for having given us all what we have today. We have a separate bag for the purpose. This rice is collected on every Purnima day and used for the Orphanages and other Anna Dhanam. So far, we have around 50 households in the scheme.
7. Other Activities include Conducting Special Yoga Classes for Diabetes Patients in association with SVYASA University, conducting yoga classes, Lectures on Bhagavath Gita etc.
