As Sevaks and Sevikas, our Mission motto that has been instilled into us through Vedantic teachings, devotional gatherings and the Seva we put our hands up to render, – “maximum happiness to maximum people for the maximum time”… which we then pass on to our students, through the countless classes we run right through the year, year after year, YET AGAIN – found the most BEAUTIFUL expression IN KIND today!
Our entire strength of Shishu Vihaar, Balavihar, JChyk and Chyk students from age 5 all the way through to age 35 came together, like never before, with an overwhelming show of generosity on ALL LEVELS to provide gift hampers of toiletries, fruits and delicious Indian sweets, to close to 700 TRANSIENT WORKERS who, having left their families behind in their home countries, come in search of bare minimum wages here to Singapore and tirelessly build the fancy condos we live in, construct the air conditioned public transports we roam around in, keep Singapore squeaky clean for us to enjoy our life in – for who, these bare essentials, which we, the privileged lot take so for granted, are but coveted luxuries – and what an exchange it turned out to be!
An avalanche of Gratitude from our side to give and give and give and tearful appreciation from them to receive in quite frankly a stupefied awe and simmering reverence.
Honouring our beloved Pujya Gurudev Chinmayanandaji’s Vision in life – to learn, to spiritually grow, to love and to endlessly serve – TODAY, we the Balavihar Team of Chinmaya Seva Centre – Singapore, along with our students and their wonderful parents, commemorated Gurudev’s 102nd BirthDay – just how He would have liked it best!
A heartfelt Thank You to ALL involved and we eagerly look forward to having you all join us.
