The devotees of Shri Nimishananda Ashram Malaysia organised the "CARE FOR THE HOMELESS" programe to reach out to all the less fortunate and homeless souls on 17th May 2009.
Here is what one the devotees said about the event
We all gathered at the ashram around 11am to pack the food and drinks which were individually packed in plastic bags. A total of about 100 packs were ready by 12.30 and we were ready to move -the first of WIPE A TEAR ,REMOVE A PAIN programme here.After a short prayer laying everything at the Lotus feet of Divine Mother and our beloved Pujya Guruji the convoy of 7 cars left the ashram around 12.45pm .We broke into several teams and went to several areas where the homeless were known to wander. Seeing them without proper clothing and lying at the five foot way moved many of us to tears.These unfortunate souls need care and love. As we moved along the streets handing out our love we could see them gazing at us with a sense of gratitude.How often they get some attention we wonder.
We moved on to several areas around Pudu Raya, Taman Sentosa Brickfields and Masjid Jamik areas. The weather was blistering but none of the devotees felf anything as we were all focused in serving a decent meal with lots of love.Prama Pujya Guruji's teaching of caring and sharing was put into practice and we all felt Pujya Guruji leading us in this programe of love.
When we had served all the food we re grouped and our team leader Devan ji thanked all for the wonderful effort put in saying this is the beginning for many many more to come .lt was a wonderful feeling for all of us and we all took a stand that this should go on on a regular basis.
As we headed home at 5.45pm l was in silent prayer thanking Divine Mother and our beloved Pujya Guruji for giving me a chance to serve a less fortunate soul. May Divine Mother's and our beloved Pujya Guruji's blessings be showered on all the poor souls . This experience has given me the determination to carry on this selfless service in whatever way l can. As Pujya Guruji says"The seva that you do is not as important as the intention behind it. When you do any activity with love in your heart and without any expectations, it becomes seva.
Wipe a Tear, Remove a Pain!
