The Village lacks in both health and education facilities. Education perforce has to be undergone in the nearest town of Vikarabad. This is a tough proposition for the farming families with no access to regular transportation and means to support education related expenses.

Although initially hesitant and circumspect about the Sai Organisation and our intent of visiting them, the villagers were very willing to take the risk by joining hands with us to improve the farming conditions.

Preparation : Swami's divine blessings and permission for the auspicious event were sought by sending a letter mentioning the cause and the intent of taking up this activity.

This Grama Seva that we were gearing to take up was going to be unique in many ways. The usual practice was to visit the village and take up work that would fetch results the very same day; examples being construction of water tank, temple, laying of road etc. But Swami's Divine directions in Ugadi's discourse talked about interaction at the family level; also the Agriculture related problem required that we interact with experts in that area and follow-up with the villagers over extended periods of time to see the result.

It was important to mentally prepare the members of the youth group to take up this long-term activity. Many brainstorming sessions were organized to go through the intricacies of this exercise and better understand the requirement of resources and mindset.

One of the more experienced brothers interfaced with the scientists of Acharya Ranga Agricultural University, Hyderabad. The problem on hand was put in front of them and they in true spirit of patriotism and professionalism volunteered to visit the village and understand the situation better, to suggest solutions later.

Several visits were made to the village to better understand the need and also to pulse if the villagers were all united to fight the battle against the pests. Stressing the importance of Unity, Swami had once mentioned in an interview to the Hyderabad Youth Group that he would be more pleased if 100 people together cleaned 1 street than 100 people cleaning 100 streets on their own.

Grama Seva on 4 Aug 2007 : A few Sai brothers started a day early to make basic arrangements for the Grama Seva and also explain to the villagers the intent of the activity and encourage them to participate. Staying in the village overnight also built a bond with the villagers and increased trust to some extent. A devotional film was shown to the villagers, which served the dual purpose of entertainment and giving an opportunity to address the gathering.

Close to 100 brothers congregated in Sivam the previous night to start for the village with all the paraphernalia. The mood was upbeat and Bhagawan's presence was very much felt everywhere. The cool, wet morning was reverberating with cries of Jai Bolo Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Babaji ki Jai as all the eager boarded the bus. Foremost on the agenda was Nagar Sankirtan. That set the tone for all the activities that were to follow.

As per the agenda of the day youth were organized in to various groups to complete the tasks of setting up the stage for Rythu Sadassu, Health Check up stations, Cooking of Prasadam etc. Some got busy engaging children of the village in Balavikas classes, mimicry and other entertainment thoughtfully enacted. Others were allotted the task of doing door-to-door survey of the villagers seeking particulars of family and any special needs. Some of the team members made a good neat survey of the village surroundings and noted their observations.

The highlight of the Grama Seva apart from Medical Camp, Narayana Seva and Pallaki Seva was, "Rythu Sadassu" -Workshop for farmers. Our earlier rapport with Padmasri Dr. M.V. Rao garu who runs a research foundation along with his team of very reputed and knowledgeable scientists at the Acharya Ranga Agricultural University, Rajendra Nagar, Hyderabad, came in very handy. To the wonder of wonders Padmasri Dr.M.V. Rao garu himself agreed to come down to the Seva camp to disseminate useful information to the farmers. The workshop was organized to enable the scientists get first hand information of the health of the crops so that proper inputs to the farmers could be given for preventive and corrective pest management methods.

Farmers from the surrounding villages were also invited to participate in the workshop to make the most of it. Groups of 10 farmers were formed; one scientist was attached to them to visit some of the farms surrounding the village and experience the situation first hand. Sai Brothers also joined the teams to take notes and also to be of any other assistance to the group. Later in the day these notes were collated and the common problems addressed.

For more than 2 hours the 6 groups toured the fields taking samples of the infected crops and also pests, which were to be further examined to prescribe the most effective medicine to control the pest. This was followed by lectures from all the scientists to the

assembled farmers. Each of the scientists held in hand a sample of a crop they had salvaged from the field and explained the method of managing the crop better. There was even a Question and Answer session. Really the farmers never had it so good in years.

Finally it was time for Padmasri Dr. M.V.Rao garu to speak and he had the farmers spell bound. He prodded them to think differently and become more aggressive. He advised them to plant crops having premium market, as this would ensure high returns for the same investment. Then he gave a list of crops, which would be beneficial for them to grow based on the soil conditions there. He displayed a book known as "Rythu Panchamgam" which contained all the details required by the farmer for managing crops. He said that he would make it available for the village so that all would benefit.

To our pleasant surprise Dr. John Peter, another scientist, brought some samples of Organic Pesticides/Bio Agents for distribution among the farmers. This gesture was welcomed with thunderous applause and excitement about a better future

Primary Health Care for the Villagers : The Health care team arrived little later. The School building was to be used for the health checkups and the adjoining room in the school building for distributing the medicines for the patients. The whole school was transformed into a beehive of activity consisting of general, dental and eye departments, veritably a mini hospital serving the needs of the hopeful. Medicines were also distributed to the Villagers free of cost. All of them were advised on plenty of dos and don'ts about health. Hopefully by following the advice the ailments would come down. By afternoon list had grown to 232 patients checked.

After Prasadam distribution the doctors and other guests were escorted to the waiting cars and profusely thanked for their valuable time and for being so thoughtful to come to the remote village and serve the villagers.

Engaging the Children: Balavikas class of a different kind was conducted for the children of the village. A loud speaker and a mike did the trick of attracting their attention. Slowly children shed all their inhibitions and came forward to receive their gifts and also become part of the stage. A magician and a mimic two-in-one person took the initiative to bring laughter to the faces of the children amidst nature. Many of the eager children were asked to recite poems and songs, which they did most wonderfully. Some were asked to come forward and exhibit their talents. Several of them were given gifts with lot of utility value such as sewing kit, pens etc. They were also coached on how to use such gifts.

In a very easy to understand way lessons on health and hygiene, importance of education, right conduct etc were taught to the children.

Pallaki Seva : The Pallaki Seva was a fitting finale to the Grama Seva. Swami's portrait was lovingly seated in a Pallaki or a palanquin and was carried around the village to every nook and corner for all to have His Darshan and blessings. Even the Gods participated towards the end in the singing melee that accompanied the Pallaki procession by opening up their emotions in the form of a deluge of grace soaking up everyone in the process. The rains only doubled up the enthusiasm and the energy. There was not a single person who did not dance to the tune of Bhajans during the Pallaki Seva. The villagers and the kids were all one with us dancing and singing the Name of God quite naturally. The procession ended in the School Building where Aarti was offered to Bhagavan and we bid good-bye to our beloved Nagasanipally brothers. The rain did not stop even then and chased us right into Hyderabad and further drenched us with its love. Everyone went home drenched that night as a reminder of special grace of Bhagavan.

In line with Swami's directions, the actual and the more important long sustaining result oriented activity was yet to begin in the village. The one day Grama Seva was just a start to what was to follow the coming weekends. Visits have been made to the village almost every Sunday after the initial Grama Seva; focus being on two activities Agricare and Family Level interactions.

Agric are: As a follow up action from the "Rythu Sadassu" on Aug 5, small portions of land have been identified as a pilot to test the pesticides and encourage the farmers to use them.

At first the farmers were very hesitant to try out something different. In the past they had used pesticides with out any significant difference in the yield. We also realized that the pesticides they were buying were probably not the best quality and also bought at highly inflated prices. Their usual practice was to go to the store and ask the storekeeper for advice on what needs to be used to control pests. They were also not very sure on how to apply the medicines. Ex: Some of the pesticides, which were supposed to be used by drenching the soil near the plat, were sprayed in the air, reducing the effectiveness.

They were also not very sure of our intent of doing this activity in their village. It was only after multiple visits over the next couple of weeks that they developed the confidence and faith that what we were trying to do in the village was for their benefit and in their interest alone.

Farmers later volunteered to provide small portion of their land for experimental purposes. With the help of scientists different kinds of pesticides, both Organic and inorganic, have been applied on the farms. The results have been very encouraging so far with much greater control on the pest problem. Farmers are now looking up to the next season with more confidence of a better yield. They are consulting with the scientist community through the Sai Organisation for all their Agri related problems.

At a high level

• More than 50 farmers have been selected for phase 1 of the activity
• More than 300 Acres is expected to transform at the end of the activity
• Efforts are on to tie-up with retails giants to pick up the vegetables from the farmers straight
• More than 10 scientists from prestigious Universities and Research Institutes are involved and focused on the village
• Following Organic/Inorganic/Biological agents have been tried in ¼ acre plots for each crop. Organic and Bio agents have proved to be very effective in controlling the pest and also cost less.

  Crop	External Agent Used
  Turmeric (Rhizome Rot)	Trichoderm + Dung (Bio) 3% Neem oil + Detergent Powder (Organic) Phorate Granules (Chemical) Blitox (Chemical) M45 (Chemical)
  Brinjal (Fruit Borer)	Pheromone Lures or Traps (Natural)
  Cotton (Boll Drop or Flower Drop)	5% Neem Decoction (Organic)
  Mari Gold(Pest)	Poison Bait (balls of Wheat chaff + Jaggery + Mono crotophos)
  Red Gram (Pest)	Poison Bait (balls of Wheat chaff + Jaggery + Mono crotophos) Confidor (Chemical)

July 21, 28 à During the first couple of visits the farmers had expressed their doubts about the activity that we were intending to take up. They had also mentioned that couple of NGO groups had visited in the past and left the village without making much progress.

Aug 5 à "Rythu Sadassu" - workshop for farmers, also began on a cold note with not so many farmers willing to come forward to participate. About 50-60 of them gathered when the visits to the farms were made. Looking at the arrangements the Sai Organisation had made and the love and care with which we were carrying forward the activity some elderly people of the village came to apologize for the cold start early in the morning. They had said that they did not expect anything to happen to that effect. About 30 farmers were beginning to gain confidence at this point in time.

Aug 12 à Tandur Mandal scientist Dr. Sudhakar Reddy was kind enough to spare his valuable time on the Sunday and came forward to demonstrate the usage of some pesticides on the field. Issues with Red Gram and Cotton crops were studied in detail. Names of the all the farmers who volunteered part of their fields for experimental purposes were noted down, along with the crop they were growing. They were close to 30 farmers in all who were part of the pilot phase.

Aug 15 à This time the village looked more colorful than on the previous visits. Colorful banners, to signify the importance of the day, hung around the school building and on the flag post. A garlanded picture of Mahatma Gandhi lay on the pedestal below the flag, which had been just unfurled by the Sarpanch. There were several children inside the school building waiting for puffed rice to be distributed.

The handouts containing the details of the pest and the pesticide to be used were distributed among the assembled villagers. A list of farmers with farm locations on various sides of the village was made quickly; some farms in proximity were identified for demonstrations.

The turmeric crop which had Rhizome Rot (a condition where the worm gets into the stem of the plant and eats it internally) was treated by wetting the ground near the plant with the required antidote. The scientist accompanying the team demonstrated this.

Another farmer Ram Reddy was distressed to find his brinjal crop withering away without any yield. The scientist concluded that the crop was suffering from a deadly viral called "little leaf of brinjal". He instructed the farmers to isolate such plants and dispose off far away so the virus does not spread to the other healthier crops. "Pheromone Traps" - a natural way to trap insects were kept in the field, which proved to be cost effective, quality effective and environmentally friendly.

Dr. Y.V Prasad of Central Research Institute for Dry Land Agriculture - CRIDA helped with the Pheromone Traps and also a Biological agent - Trichoderma, which when mixed with dung and allowed to rest for a week covered in plastic then sprinkled in the fields would address the fungal problem of rhizome rot of turmeric. This technique was also tried in some fields.

In another case a pesticide used in Mari Gold fields was not effective. Another solution was to make balls of wheat chaff mixed with jaggery and pesticide. Once sprinkled all over the filed the pest would ingest the same during night. This solution proved very effective.

Sample pesticides were distributed to the farmers for use later. It was discovered based on one of the farmer's disclosure that a pesticide of one particular brand was being sold at a very high price. The same was purchased by the Seva Team at 1/3rd the price sold to farmers. This prompted us to offer to arrange to supply the product at the cheaper rate from Hyderabad based on the collective requirement, to be advised later after discussing the bulk needs.

2 Sep à This follow up visit was undertaken to ascertain the efficacy of our earlier advice and demonstrations on the Independence Day to the farmers of the Nagasanpally village. Prof. Dr. Krishna Kumar led the visit. Based on his observations:

Farmers queuing up for the Neem Decoction

Neem Decoction became popular as it worked

The insect lures erected in the fields of two farmers Mr. Ram Reddy & Bitchi Reddy having Brinjal Crop performed well and the farmers have expressed complete satisfaction on the effectiveness of lures.

Earlier we did mention the problem of stem or rhizome rot affecting the turmeric crop. In fact it was this problem that the farmers of the village pleaded desperately to be addressed. The Independence Day proved to be a beneficial day as apt demonstrations were given on how to prevent and stop the disease from spreading by one senior scientist of the Acharya Ranga Agricultural University. The farmers who have tested two combinations of Chemicals have unanimously felt that the agro chemicals worked well in controlling the Rhizome rot in Turmeric There were approximately 40 farmers involved in cultivating this crop and also witnessed the demonstrations and the benefits. The two combinations are a) Blitox + Phorate and b) M45 + Phorate respectively. The rest of farmers also could now adopt this process for quality yields in turmeric crop.

There was a lecture cum demonstration of application of Neem oil (1645 ppm Aza) for soil drenching in turmeric crop. About forty farmers attended this demonstration.

Nearly 65 farmers participated in the demonstration for applying 5% Neem decoction to the BT Cotton crop. In addition to this, samples each consisting of Neem oil of 250 ml & 3 Kilograms of whole fruit (Neem) powder were supplied to all the farmers present.

The farmers then made fervent requests to our team to rope in few scientists to address the pest attack in Green gram (Kandulu) present in 300 acres and Mari gold in 60 acres (Chamanti). Work is in progress to address this issue as well.

What started with 10 farmers 2 months ago has spread like a wild fire in the village. They have gained confidence on our commitment levels and also see a bright future for them and their crops. The current state of affairs is to get ready for the next season where work will begin under Scientist's supervision from the Seed treatment stage.

Family level interaction : It was time to move on to the second phase of the project - Interaction with the families in their homes. The concept was a little difficult to sell/explain to the villagers and the group was also not sure about how to interact with the families on a weekly basis. With Swami as the leader and the pathfinder the Sai Youth began the journey and have successfully finished 4 weekend interactions with close to 90 families.

Some families, based on the experience and success of the Agricare program volunteered to be a part of this. Expectations were setup during the initial phase itself that the intent of family level interactions was not to support them financially or take care of their other materialistic needs but to know them better at a family level. And the under current was to make Community level changes through family level influence. The group was very skeptical about how the families would take it.

Sep 9, 16 à Time was spent to make a list of the families that volunteered. It was ensured that there was a good mix of people belonging to all casts, sub casts and financial status. Close to 50% of the village is covered as of today. The format, which was included in the "Village Integration Program" booklet, was used to collect the data. Although care was taken to ensure that the data entry did not happen in front of the villagers. The interaction was basic level questions about the family and household.

2 group leaders were formed for a set of 10-12 families with 5-6 people in each group. This ensured that the people are not overwhelmed with the amount of work and also that they pay closer attention to the finer details when interacting with the families. It was very important to have familiar faces visiting a family every week. So, people who were committed to dedicate time on a weekly basis for this activity were made group leaders.

Sep 23 à The mood was jubilant in the village with 3 Lord Ganesha's idols erected on the occasion of Vinayaki Chavithi or Ganesh Chathurthy. The norm every year was to immerse one idol on the 5th, 7th and 9th day respectively. Each idol belonged to different section of the community. This year the number of idols did not decrease but the villagers got together and told Sai Youth that the immersion of all Ganeshas would be done on the same day if they were present. This was a symbol of the building unity in the village and the Youth did not wait to cash on it. Promptly after the regular family level interactions the youth congregated to sing bhajans at all the three Ganesha's and prayed Swami that the Unity movement pick-up speed in the village. It was a sight to see when people from all sections of the community participated in the Bhajan singing, TOGETHER.

Rains bring along with them many mosquitoes and hence Malaria. This was the occasion to educate villagers about how Malaria spreads, how to prevent it and cure it with common things available in the house; like with Tulasi leaves, Datura leaves etc. During the interaction one of the teams identified that some of the villagers were still using Rock salt (non-iodized) for cooking purposes. It is common knowledge that lack of iodine in salt leads to swelling of the Thyroid glands. This was to be the topic of the next weekend. So slides were to be prepared on this topic, just as they were prepared to explain the prevention and cure for Malaria.

Sep 30à Every holiday is slowly becoming a holy day for the Hyd Sai Youth. Sundays are when Sai brothers start reaching Sivam at around 5 am in the morning, offer salutations to Bhagawan and then start for the village. This time around also despite the heavy rain all of them came to congregate in Sivam early in the morning to start for the village. Two general physicians, two gynec doctors (lady docs) and 1 homeopathy doctor were also taken along to the village. The district president of Hyderabad district also accompanied to witness the activity.

A lot of groundwork was done for this Sunday's activity. Medicines were bought on Saturday to cater to any medical cases in the village since doctors were coming along. Material was collated and slides prepared for the groups, which would visit houses in the village. This time slides on dental care and usage of Iodized Salt were prepared in addition to the existing ones used last week. Goodies for the kids in the village and some preparation on educating the children was done.

As day started with Nagara Sankirtanam and then the teams, which had, houses allotted to them moved to their respective houses and began interacting with the families. Doctors were stationed at the village school and any medical cases found were brought to the school. Many villagers were happy with the agricultural assistance provided and were willing to use more of the pesticides we had given them. Many others who had not come forward earlier were eager to talk and take advice.

Another beautiful thing that was discovered during the family interaction was that the villagers wanted help to get out of the wrong habits troubling them. They said that whenever the Youth visit the village they feel they should not give in to habits like smoking/ drinking. It seemed as though the village slowly wanted more positive vibration to reverberate through it.

Balavikas classes are also being taken for the children of the villages. Solkas and Bhajans are taught; Heath and Hygiene related issues are discussed in an easy to understand way. Also stories about what can be learned from nature are also discussed. Ex: What is that we learn from Trees, Ants etc. Lot of the parents seems to see a change in their kids and hence they make sure to drop off the kids at the local school promptly after the Youth arrives. English classes have also been started for Class 6 and above students. Ensuring that all round education is imparted.

Pray Swami to give us direction and strength in carrying forward this activity.

As per His divine directions, in the process of offering long-term solutions to issues, the SAI youth of Hyderabad reprogrammed lives of unemployed youth who are coming from economically backward families by conducting Free Computer Training Course. This program was conducted in the months of May and June 2007 in Sivam, the abode of Swami. This is the third run of its kind.

Having successfully completed a similar course last year, we had taken up the planning for this year's activity with increased enthusiasm and improved ideas. We started the campaign for this life-changing program in the month of April through advertisements in all major Newspapers, TV, Pamphlets and Radio. We also pasted the program posters at all major city centers to draw the attention of most deserving brothers to enroll for the course.

With His grace we received almost 1000 calls from needy unemployed youth from various parts of the state and after initial scrutiny more than 200 deserving brothers aged between 18 and 25 were screened and engaged in a 3-day introductory course at Sivam. Subsequently, we conducted an Entrance Test for choosing the most appropriate candidates for our program, there by 65 eligible candidates were selected for the 60-day training program.

A computer lab, with about 21 computers was set-up using the computers provided by General Electric Company Company (GE) and Sai bothers alike and the furniture provided by Nokia and others.

Our own Sai brothers worked day and night to setup a beautiful lab facility. One brother said that he wanted to be part in whatever way he can in this mission of reprogramming lives. When we felt short of few more computers for the lab, many Sai brothers readily came forward and offered their own computers. The Said lab was used for theory and practical sessions.

The theory classes were conducted between 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm everyday and the practical classes were conducted from 8 am to 6 pm. It was again a heart-moving incident when we saw that the Sai Organisation sponsored degree students shifted their residence temporarily to Sivam to take care of the lab facility. They were responsible for cleaning, maintenance and were also of assistance to the students for almost 20 hours a day. When we wanted to prepare the course material, the same group came forward and procured a spiral binding machine thereby saving lot of cost in preparing the requisite course material.

The course content included Basics of computers, Ms-Word, Ms-Excel, Ms-PowerPoint, Adobe PageMaker, General Aptitude, Quantitative ability, Communication skills and Personality development. Apart from the lessons for living, we also gave them lessons for life. We shared with them the importance of good citizenry and behavior in society.

We could witness the following most touching incidents during the period of the course:

• Orderly manner of parking the cycles
• Keeping the their chappals and shoes in an orderly manner
• Treating the class room most reverentially
• Respecting the parents and assisting them in doing small domestic works
• Talking to the friends with love and affection
• Unknowingly habituated to enter the sanctum sanctorum of Sivam and offering their prayful salutations.
• Asking the faculty to tell them about who is Sai Baba and what he does is it real that whether Swami instructed Sai youth to take care of them etc.

All the above were really reflecting the true love of Swami which has been poured into them to understand the selfless love of Sai.

In the process of reprogramming their lives, we used several anecdotes personally bestowed by Swami and several inspiring talks by elders to pass the message of values in the life. The students also experienced the divine nectar of Swami's message by participating in Narayana Seva at Sivam along with other Sai brothers.

During the course, one day when elders of the organisation visited the class and personally came to know about student's backgrounds they were touched. In response to this the Convener, Sri Sathya Sai Trust, AP offered them appropriate jobs in his Educational Institutions. Not only that, when he enquired and came to know that some of the students came from very far distances to attend the course, he instructed snacks to be served to those students every day. It was really very inspiring for all Sai Youth to see the love and concern showed by the elders of the organization.

Our focus was always on winning the hearts of the students. We started discussing about this and came out with an idea of celebrating their birthdays in the class amongst their mates. It was really heart touching for the students. We could see this when they cried out saying that they have not celebrated their birthday since their birth. They were so moved with love of Sai Youth and started promising that henceforth would be good citizens in the society.

By His divine grace we could handle 720 man-hours in educating 65 most deserving unemployed youth for 60 days. It was all along a joyful journey for all the Sai Youth. All the Sai youth of Hyderabad took this opportunity, celebrated, enjoyed and learnt Swami's teachings practically out of this program. We have learnt valuable lessons on commitment, brotherliness, sharing and caring and determination. The very fact that the whole program ran successfully in spite of faculty members not having any previous experience in teaching is a true sign of His unseen hand behind every Sai Youth.

We could see Swami working through the lives of these students and bringing about transformation in them. The serene atmosphere at Sivam charged with divine vibrations, the Seva spirit of the Sevadal and Swami's blessings made an everlasting impression and impact on the young hearts and now they are committed to lead their lives as per Swami's expectations. During the course of the program, we could also witness number of Swami's miracles in improving the physical and mental health of the students.

In our endeavor to increase employability of these students, a focused program was carried out towards creating employment. On one hand many corporate and placement agencies approached us while on the other hand we groomed the students by conducting sessions in English language and Mock interviews. With Swamis divine blessings few corporates like APITCO, APEX, Ramsys, Subhiksha and Care Hospital have interviewed the candidates for employment opportunities.

During the interviews when corporates suggested that the students need to improve their typing speed to have better chances of the employment, students personally took it as a challenge and improved their speed in short span of time. Some of them sat more than 6 hours everyday and improved their typing speed showing very high degree of commitment to reprogram their lives.

As an icing on cake, we had a fabulous graduation ceremony on 1st July 2007 in Sivam premises. The Mahaboobnagar youth added color to the whole program by decorating the stage. All the elders of the organization who have guided us through out this program participated in the closing ceremony. The dignitaries also attended the closing ceremony from All India Radio, Satyam and Wipro. The employers also attended the program and gave offer letters to the selected candidates. One of the major attractions of the program was a Mime show enacted by the students to depict Swamis message of Unity of Faith. This is a true reflection of the transformation brought in their lives by Swami. The students also enthralled the audience with PowerPoint presentations and concluded the program with a beautiful song 'Bharata Mata Biddalam'.

It was a touching moment when parents and relatives shared their experiences about the transformation that they had observed in their wards during the course of this program. They came on to the stage and publicly shared their heart felt gratitude for Swami.

Finally the students were awarded the diploma certificates from Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organization and the group photograph was gifted as a token of love along with a pocket dictionary wrapped with Swami's photograph and sacred vibhoothi. We have also captured the student's contact information as per their wish to involve them in our future activities of the organization.

It was a sight to see hundreds of students, parents, well wishers, volunteers, Sai Youth and office bearers of Sai organization taking lunch together in the premises of Sivam sharing their love and concern, caring each other, enquiring about their stories and realizing Swami's unseen hand in every life.

Swami, you are the beacon of our lives and we are indeed very grateful that you have provided us such a beautiful opportunity. We pray to you that you keep us inspired and grant us with many more such opportunities to become deserving and humble instruments in your mission.

With His divine blessings similar activity is in progress in two other Samithis in the City of Hyderabad. Pray Swami to continue to shower His grace on them.
