Dear Brothers and sisters,sairam and good day
In our visits to Villages on GRMASABHA-and nomination of champion teams in each village.There are very interesting stories and episodes.They are very happy alright with our visits and interactions-also expectations and dependency as well-There is hope-despair-jubilant-fear of loosing us-trying to be closer etc.
The men and women folks are enrolling in the village committes now!-They never had such meetings for such a purpose-all new for them.
Some times we wonder as to what next? What can we do to them-we can not be giving goodies all the time-we can not be doing medical camps-supply medicines.we can not be travelling to villages every week after week!
I am not suggesting that we have done enough and that is all-it is true that we have not yet touched on what swami wants us to do?
Door to door visits in right spirit and earnest is still to occur in total.
Not many would know that our teams go to villages every week covering 150 kilometers up and down.
All the 11 teams make around 1700 kilometers a month-you can visualize the cost of fuel and other things that go by.
This is why we need to build up the champion teams in village that take care of their village hence forth-Again this is not as easy as said and done-we need to train them -make them learn the purpose and it is a long and continuous on going journey.
We are surprised so far that not many villagers know where and who is spending money?-they think Bhagawan is sending the resources and we are spending.(Although this is the truth in the Divine plane).It took a lot of time and pain to explain the facts to the village folk that all our members are digging in to their pockets.I am aware that our people have told them many a time the purpose and the goal-but seems to have not reached them as yet!
The Gramasabhas attendance is below expectations in spite of the herculean efforts of our brothers and sisters in motivating them in so many ways known to them-Our people have done a great deal of work in visiting them and even going to each home-but still they do not come out as expected
There are age old traditions as old as 500 years where the men folks have dominated-even now!-They do not come out of the homes in the nights-They can not voice their problems-lest the men folks take them to task when they return home.
They have been living with given situations and got used to that kind of living granted.
How ever we should never loose hope-we should never give it up-the reason is Swami is with us!-HE knows the goal-destination and the purpose.
It appears that drinking water plant (five of them)provision by our organisation has been the greatest boon for them-all of them exceptionally happy to reveal that their health standards have improved-specially the back aches and body pains disappeared?
Some times and many times I wonder whether it is water or grace of GOD that works?
We need to leave such marks behind when we leave them on a day that may not be far?
Like wise-I have a dream-and that is to establish a small micro level type industry in each village we have taken up-at least 100 people in each village must be employed and stay put in their village.This we must do in 2009 and HE will guide us and we need to put our efforts.This will make the village self reliant and supportive.
There are a number opportunities as we are talking to the government agencies now.
What is required is at least 6 members from our city who can lead,committed and and follow it up with me-Are you a game?
We have resources,men,materials,places-but what we need is commitment and meet challenges provided by the Lord Himself.
Another thing we recognised and bothering us is the youth of the villages especially the students who are weak and poor need a back up in terms of tuition's in their weak subjects.Where ever we go they meet us and ask for such provisions-you know that exams are round the corner and they need such help?.If they do not get such support-they loose interest and may drop out or take another negative and attractive rout-which are plenty in waiting!
I appeal to you dear Brothers and Sisters please find out whether we have in our circles able and committed teachers who can go over and impart tuition's to these boys-I am aware it is difficult to go there voluntarily-we can pay them and engage them either from the same village or nearby.We need at least two per village-we have done this in Bahadurpet in fact and is going well appreciated.
Mere going to villages in numbers is not the need of the hour-what we need to do is soild work that helps them to rise their level of living standard in terms of health,hygiene and education and self employment
You know we go to a village and unknowingly or inadvertently promise that we take care of them-but in reality we are missing the connectivity-this can do some damage to our institutions if we can not maintain our credibility.
Thanks for for your patient reading!
Love,regards and thanks
