US University students Visit VatsalyaGram

As part of the Indo-US Educational & Cultural Immersion Study Abroad Program organized by IUM-Ohio, faculty & students of `Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio (USA)’ visited VatsalyaGram, Vrindavan. The key agenda of this visit was to gain first-hand understanding of the different sustainable grass-root interventions being successfully carried out in India.

VatsalyaGram – in all probability the only of its kind welfare program in the world – has found appreciation for its impactful works not only in India but many other countries incl. the US of A. In fact, it has been formally appreciated by the Office of the Mayor, Pearland; Sugar Land; Houston & County of Los Angeles.

The guests arrived on the 30^th of May after having visited the TajMahal - India’s contribution to the new 7 wonders of the world, and were warmly received by the VatsalyaGram team. Post introductions the guests were then taken to our on-campus Guest-house. After some much-required rest started the quest to discover India’s spiritual heritage & history with a visit to the popular Temples at Vrindavan.

The following day, braving the heat, the visitors toured the entire 50+ acre campus on foot, visiting every single facility, every element that completes VatsalyaGram. The highlight of the tour of course and which the students had been looking forward to, was meeting with the Vatsalya families, particularly the children, at `Gokulam’ – the abode of Vatsalya families. The guests were first taken to the `Gokulam’ Nursery (Shishu Mangal), wherein all infants including the children with special needs are kept and taken care of. The students poured their love onto these children and the scene was emotionally overwhelming. They guests were then escorted to the homes of the Vatsalya families where they interacted with the mothers & children. Reciprocating the love showered to the children, the Guests were presented with paintings created by the children.

Awareness Movement for National Security

India is not only exposed to dangers from neighboring countries but also from the internal enemies in the form of corruption and such other evils. The present need is the elimination of evil that corrupts the system of the country. In order to protect the civilization of millions of Indians, Revered Didi Maa has been pushing a large scale public awareness movement bringing issues of immorality and injustice into the light. She is active through her lectures and discourses in spreading awareness towards eradicating social evils. 

Rashtra Raksha Sutra Yatra

In the sequence of national awareness programs, Rashtra Raksha Sutra Bandhan Yatra is organized every year. We are secured thanks to vigilant forces present on the borders of our country. Our festivals and movements are intact only by the their careful watch and protection. Revered Didi Maa feels that the entire nation should stand by them in their pleasures and pain. To put into practice her idea, Param Shakti Peeth organizes a celebration of Rakhi with the soldiers on the remote borders of the country in the presence of sisters from various parts of the nation. This program has also been acclaimed by the President of India. 

Personality Development Camps

For the all-round development of girls, residential personality development camps are organized at Vatsalya Gram. Through lessons of collective existence, sports and self-defense their lives are significantly enriched. Girls from various states of India participate in these camps.

  

Save the Girl Child Movement

In the wake of traditions based on gender bias and futile concepts, there has been constantly running a devilish show of female feticide in the country of Durga. That is why there has been a gender imbalance in the population. To check this, Param Shakti Peeth has initiated a public awareness movement around this issue. 

With the noble inspiration from Revered Didi Maa, many women have taken a vow to keep away from female feticide. In the cities and towns where there are serious figures of female feticide, such awareness programs are organized. Free educational institutes for girls is also an important step of Param Shakti Peeth towards raising the number of girls in the society. Revered Didi Maa always keeps this campaign running through her kathas and religious discourses.   

Save Motherhood  Movement

“Motherhood” is a state of a woman's life when she requires physical security along with mental health. Rich sections of our country fulfill their requirements but the masses whose economic strength is limited to availing only daily meals cannot even think of this factor. The most serious issue with the ladies of such masses is malnutrition. Therefore, sometimes they are found with a lack of blood and anemia. Param Shakti Peeth organizes free medical camps to address the issue of anemia under the expert guidance of qualified doctors. 

In the same way many women of poverty are unaware of crucial information related to the protection of vital parts of the body from bacteria during menstruation cycles. To correct this, Param Shakti Peeth has initiated important steps in this direction. Trained women approach such ladies to educate them on such aspects. Financially unequipped women are provided hygienic pads called Vatsalya Suraksha free of cost.    

Movement of Eradication of Social Discrepancies

In many remote regions of India, the light of education and knowledge has not shown even today. Didi Maa thinks that many tribes that have remained backward in the race of development should be brought into the light and has pledged to make efforts to do so. Large masses are migrating to urban areas in search of employment and population pressure is increasing on cities. Governments have been focusing only on the development of cities while development of villages is tardy. 

• Villages of India are the fulcrum of the economy of the nation and therefore Param Shakti Peeth has initiated the movement 'Vatsalya Ganga' with an objective to keep villagers engaged in agriculture. Volunteers of Vatsalya Ganga will move from village to village to awaken people so that our deteriorating environment and water resources can be preserved. Efforts to promote co-operative farming are high on the agenda of the Vatsalya Ganga movement. 

• Youth can participate in Vatsalya Ganga and contribute to our nations health. For this, they are required to undergo a nine month course at Vatsalya Gram. Thereafter with a vow of celibacy they would be deputed to different parts of India as per need. Through such devoted youth, educational and health centers would be established in tribal regions to spread ancient Indian values coupled with modern education.

Movement for Preservation of Cows of Indian Species

Cows are a gift from God to mankind who from birth to death are an asset to our species. All that comes out of their bodies are salubrious to human health.Scientific researches have proven that the best nutrition for a child is available in mother's milk and cow's milk is next to it.  Scientific research by many groups show that cows urine is very effective as a medicine for numerous ailments. Agriculture is also extremely benefitted by using cow dung as opposed to the chemical fertilizers that are well known to have numerous ill effects on the health of all species. The use of cows milk, urine and dung are not only good for the mankind but are essential for the preservation of our environment.

It's significance is also considerable even from the national economy point of view. National income can be enhanced by producing medicines and objects of daily use from Panchgavya (the five gifts from mother cow – milk, curd, ghee, urine and dung). It is a matter of sorrow that cows are slaughtered on large scale in our country. A nationwide movement is run by Param Shakti Peeth for the protection and enhancement of cow species. The plan is to establish well arranged Goshalas, like our present ones at Vatsalya Gram, Vrindavan and Omkareshwar, in every state of India.

Working Towards the Holistic Development of India - Part 2

Best Step - “Towards Self Respect Through Self Dependence"

Along with the importance of dharma is the importance of wealth in life. Without resources & wealth life is incomplete in that ones abilities are not fully utilized. India is still in the list of developing countries as many citizens are very poor due to lack of resources and skills. This is especially true for women who are typically limited within the threshold of the house. Didi Maa believes that Matrishakti, the power of women, should be financially self-dependent so their self-respect is maintained. 

“Udyamita” Cottage Industry and Vocational Training Center

“Udyamita” – a cottage industry and vocational training center of Vatsalya Gram, Vrindavan is a place where women are trained through professional courses so that they can attain self-entrepreneurship and contribute to the family income. The main objective of this center is to provide training for domestic industry, cottage industry and other production based technologies. 

Vatsalya Vocational Training Community College

Through the inspiration of Revered Didi Maa Sadhvi Ritambhara Ji, Param Shakti Peeth has established Vatsalya Vocational Community College in a backward area of East Delhi. The college has been successful in making opportunities of employment available to many students which has enabled them to stand on their own feet. This center, known as Swami Paramananda Vatsalaya Mandir, is active in the form of a cradle house and shelter for abandoned children as well as serving as a vocational training center for underprivileged women. Hundreds of students are enjoying self-dependence through self-employment after completion of various certificate courses. The vocational training college is accredited by the Indira Gandhi National Open University.
