Our ability to help at this time is critical. The funds are directly transfered to India. (Paypal or Wire transfer are the 2 options)
Message from Swami Swaroopanada Ji
Right now, India is continuing to go through great turmoil with the Covid-19 positive rates soaring in the nation. The impact is being felt across the world, with many having family members who have passed on or who have become very unwell.
Tomorrow is Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda’s 105th Jayanti, marked as Seva Day in Chinmaya Mission. We must continue to engage ourselves in Seva and stay anchored in Him. As we come together with the vision of oneness and love, we will be sensitive to know the need of the hour wherever we are, and serve with a sense of responsibility.
Each and every person has the ability to make a difference. Below are some ways in which all can contribute:
- Give – those who can, please donate towards Chinmaya Mission’s India Covid Relief Fund: http://www.chinmayamission.com/donation/
- Share – let others know of the good work being done by sharing stories and updates of Covid-19 relief work, so they too can be inspired to serve and many more can benefit. All can post on https://www.facebook.com/ChinmayaMission/ with the hashtag #EachOneReachOne
- Pray – please join hands and pray for everyone’s well-being
- Connect – join Pujya Gurudev’s video Geeta Jnana Yajna on Chinmaya Channel (YouTube) from Saturday 8 May 2021 for 18 days and let’s keep our minds connected to Him, so that we can spread the message of hope, love and peace.
From 9 May onwards (the second day of the Yajna), before each talk of Pujya Gurudev’s, some inspiring thoughts and ideas will be shared on how we can all be part of the relief efforts. To introduce the #EachOneReachOne initiative, here is a short video:
“We are all ONE – all beings are strung in ME as a row of pearls on a thread.”
– Bhagavad Geeta 7.7
At His feet,
Swaroopananda
In addition, the Swamins and Brahmacharins of the Mission have shared messages on how to stay positive during these trying times here.
