The members of Team SSM Mathura were delighted by the bonanza of love and affection they received at  the primary school of Kumaria village in Mathura where they had gone laden with gift hampers and with Sri M's message of the oneness of humanity to mark Deepavali and Sri M's birthday, celebrated as Founder's Day on November 6th at The Satsang Foundation .    "What a beautiful time we had today," the team remarked as they took in the exquisite clay idols of Lakshmi and Ganesha, flower rangolis , and colourful diyas   handmade by the children to welcome them. "The joy and happiness they generated was infectious," they said.       The program started with the children repeating the oath for spreading peace and harmony that Sri M had generated when he undertook the "Walk of Hope", a padayatra traversing 7,500 kms across the country from Kanya Kumari to Kashmir for 15 months over 2015-'16.  The team then spoke to the children saying they were ...

For the Juvenile Reform Home in Mathura, Deepavali and Sri M's birthday celebrations initiated by Team SSM this week revived beautiful memories. When Sri M had come to Vrindavan for his reading of the Bhagvat in November 2019, the only place that he had visited to bless children was this reform home.      The children had watched a short film on Sri M's 15-month-long padayatra of 7,500 kms across the country from Kanya Kumari to Kashmir for peace and harmony and then, in a touching gesture,  each child threaded a single bead of a tulsi garland with the last one being put in by Sri M. He had then put the garland around his neck and blessed the children before leaving.    The team initiated the celebrations by taking the Walk of Hope oath with the children to be messengers of peace and harmony before distributing diyas asking them to become guiding lights, forgetting all their differences. The celebrations ended with the distribution of gift hampers ...

Team SSM Mathura distributed 50 gift hampers comprising of smiley balls, juice, chocolate, wafers, and bhujia to speech and hearing impaired children at the Kalyanam Karoti special education institute on November 1 to mark the first day of Annadanam and Seva week in celebration of Deepavali and Sri M's birthday.    In sign language, the children also took an oath to ensure peace and communal harmony in the true spirit of the oneness of humanity demonstrated by Sri M during the Walk of Hope that traversed 7,500 kms across the country from Kanya Kumari to Kashmir in 2015-16. A copy of the oath in Hindi was gifted to the institution.    In a moving ceremony, the children then lit diyas made of cow dung that they had painted in school. B. Ed students training to be special educators participated with full enthusiasm, also partaking of some of the hampers. The SSM team in turn was gifted with the diyas made by the children.
