Satsang Seva Journal

Team SSM Bengaluru ushered in Christmas cheer with the weekly annadaanam seva offered to the less privileged on Sunday, 24 December 2023.  Prayers of gratitude and well-being preceded the offering of a special, sumptuous breakfast of shavige bhath, poori, sagu, upma, chutney , and sweet kesari to the senior citizens and youngsters sheltered at Vallabh Niketan Ashram. The volunteers then offered a simple, nutritious lunch to 100 people from the community of daily wagers and pavement dwellers at the premises of Adamya Chetana in Lakshmipura, Gavipuram. Join our teams of volunteers to support the hungry and the less privileged in other parts of Namma Bengaluru !

Team SSM Nagpur has been associated with Nutan Bharat Vidyalaya, a school for less privileged children since the past four months, offering monthly annadaanam seva to the children. With the onset of the bitter winter cold, the volunteers offered blankets to 120 children sheltered at this institution on 23 December 2023. They were filled with much gratitude as the children's faces lit up with joy when they received these gifts of warmth. Join our volunteers to spread the joy of giving and sharing across the city!

When Cyclone Michaung made its landfall in Chennai on 4th December 2023, torrential rains of more than 500 mm pounded the city over three days, throwing daily life out of gear. Unable to cope with these heavy rains, the Adayar and Cooum Rivers were in spate and most areas of the city were waterlogged. Roads were unmotorable and electricity was shut, leading to severe shortage of food and essential items.  On 8th December, Team SSM Chennai of The Satsang Foundation (TSF) joined hands with ExNoRa International and local agencies to set up a kitchen in a dharmashala and served cooked meals to 1200 residents of less privileged neighborhoods in Perumbakkam, one of the worst-affected localities.  Join our Satsang Seva Mission teams to help with relief work and support the rehabilitation of the affected.
