Inspired by the work and as a tribute to the dedication that His Holiness Shri Sudhanshuji Maharaj has undertaken for the sake of humanity, VJMNA, a very young and tender branch of this gigantic tree of Vishwa Jagriti Mission (Universal Awakening) has also become engaged in such missionary work for the citizens of our community here in the Chicago area. “Service to Mankind is Service to God” is the underlying principle of every religious faith. God dwells within the hearts of one and all but his image is clearly visible in those who are deprived of the basic needs of life. Such people give us the opportunity to ward off all our sins by serving them. The VJMNA has been moving forward spreading the love and light along with the golden principles of His Holiness Acharya Sudhanshuji Maharaj. · Humanitarian Services - The organization is sincerely committed to the shelter project locally by feeding the homeless and less privileged, contributing in the food pantry, toys and other gift items for the children during holidays. This all is made possible by the help of Volunteers who so generously render their time and money. Organization also makes an effort to contribute in some small way towards the victims of natural calamity, like Tsunami and Hurricane Katrina and Rita.· Monthly Satsang and Meditation – Spiritual discourses through Satsang and joint prayers are also a regular activity of VJMNA and something all the members look forward to · Cultural activities to promote awareness and instill patriotism towards our homeland (India) among youth · Youth involvement in Indian festivals like Holi and Diwali – Youth participate and show their talent by singing and dancing during Diwali celebration · Gratitude Campaign – Maharaj ji believes that to serve your parents is the most pious duty – keeping that in mind VJMNA recognizes the importance of seniors and parents by respecting and showing gratitude and appreciation. Some members also visit the senior citizen homes locally. · Involvement in community – VJMNA makes a sincere effort to be a part of the community events and help in any way possible. The organization was one of the many participants that had taken an active part in the first religious conference on Sanatan Dharma Practices and Beliefs. |
