- Shirdi Saibaba
This Guru Mantra truly reminds me about one of my friends,
Mrs.Dimple -- who is workingalong with 50+ women to make
a difference in some one's life. 'They are a group of womenfrom a small
town in the State of Andhra Pradesh, South India whose goal is todo something
for the development of women and children in the areas where our help is
muchneeded and appreciated.Hence they have started a small team to reach out
and help the poor and needy..
Indira Mahila Mandali
)I salute to all those 50 plus women who not only beleive
in the teachings of Baba but are alsotrying their level best to follow them and
live by those morals to the best of their ability ..In near by villages and surrounding areas where
women do not have any economicindependence, since neither did they attend
any school and nor are they able to send their children to
school because of their limited income. Infact they use them as child
labourers or baby sitters.. And some families who are indeed
fortunate enough to be able to send their kids toschool ,would rather send
their male child to school and prefer leaving the female child illiterate.And
on top of that to add to the already ongoing problem, child marriages
still do exist eventhough it is illegal , giving rise to teen pregnacy's
and rise in death rate of young women. Thehealth awarness for such
women are rarely given any importance.And this is where the Indira Mahila
Mandali which consists of a little over 50 women have joined
hands together to follow the teachings of Shri Sadguru Sainath and are
actively followingthe Guru Mantra : Service to Humanity is Service to God.All
of us reading this mail are sitting in the comfort of our homes with a
hope and wish that perhaps ,one day they will be able to do some Sai
seva- some humble and noble deed which willmake their life worth living. Well,
I guess now is the time..If we can not go to these villages toreach out to
these helpless women and the needy children --We can surely help Indira
MahilaMandali financially, so that we can help them to help others. Our
financial assistance will helpthem
acquire land and building which will provide housing and the
school for girls, itwill have a Handi Crafts training center which will
help women to earn their livingand be confident, it will have Home for
Aged ,It will have an overhead projector andother equipment to promote health
and aids awareness in the slums and villages ,medical supplies and medical
van to reach out to people who can’t afford to go to adoctor and much
more.Don’t you think we all Sai devotees should help Indira Mahila Mandali
in this humbleand noble deed.I
dont know about you, but I am surely going to be a part of this great deed by
helpingthem financially to help others who are in need.I am sharing their bank
