SAHIT service program

[Guest guest]

During the celebration of his thirunakshatram and Deepavali, HH Sri Tridandi

SrimanNarayana Ramanuja Jeear Swamy inaugurated an aggressive campaign to

encourage kainkaryam activities that all bhAgavathas should engage in

throughout India and the US. The campaign is dubbed SAHIT, Serve All

Humanity in the Twenty-first century.

 

Central to this campaign is the ideal of bhAgavatha kainkaryam, and how it

can be expressed in several ways. Some may choose a more traditional path,

such as participation in and support of traditional SriVaishnava gatherings

and temple functions. Others may choose to propogate the wonder of His

anantakalyAnaguNas and the riches of our satsampradAyam. And, yet others

can express their servitude to Him and His devotees by fostering and

promoting humanitarian and moral ideals, which can be best expressed in

taking care of those in need and providing financial assistance to temples

and educational institutions. It is this last approach to service that HH

stresses in the SAHIT Campaign.

 

HH urged bhAgavathas to gather together, taking inspiration from the youth

wing of his ashram, Vikasa Tarangini, and make efforts to find ways to serve

Perumal through service to their respective temple and community.

 

HH is also encouraging bhAgavathas to ensure the continuation of the noble

efforts of Vikasa Tarangini in India by contributing a donation of just $25

year to support this organization's activities. Here are a list of specific

areas that can be supported:

 

1. Medical Services Camps.

2. Nursing Homes for the Elderly.

3. Education for the underprivileged children.

4. Environmental Services.

5. Badari Annadanam (Free Food) Project.

6. Reviving Old Temples.

7. Vedic Schooling.

8. Tribal upliftment schemes.

9. Publication of Spiritual Literature.

10. Publication of Moral Literature.

11. General.

 

The full amount of this tax-deductible contribution will go towards the

specific cause that one chooses. Those interested in supporting any of

these causes should send a check (payable to JETUSA) to:
