this diwali be the reason of someone else celebration

“No Matter How Many Lamps You Illuminate, The Light Enters The Heart Only When A Man Serves The Mankind.”

Diwali is auspicious in so many different ways and the celebrations fulfill humanity’s need for money, knowledge, and health. But Diwali is not just about self-fulfillment and self-enjoyment rather, it’s also about sharing joy with complete strangers and making them happy. Now since the whole of humanity is facing an unprecedented situation in the form of covid-19, many people are struggling on a day-to-day basis. Can we do something for them? Let’s celebrate this Diwali differently and make them happy.
This Diwali, take a few small steps and become the reason for someone else’s celebration. This is what you can do.

Support Small-Time Traders

During the festival time, support small-time traders, vendors, artists, and artisans who open shops around our vicinity. They sell earthen lamps, ethnic ornaments, candles, and other decorative items. Buy from them and be the reason for their ‘happy Diwali moments’.

Distribute Sweets Among Underprivileged Children

On Diwali, you’ll receive many gifts including sweets and dry fruit boxes from your loved ones. Instead of wasting them away, put them to noble use, and gift them to the underprivileged children. You cannot imagine the bliss that you would feel by doing this.

Charity Begins at Home, Truly

Sometimes we don’t need to go very far from home for doing something divine. Surprise your domestic helpers with a day off and some extra cash so that they can celebrate the festival with their family.

Don’t Forget the People Who Are on Road

Be appreciative of people who make your festivals and life safe and enjoyable. Be it a food delivery guy, a newspaper vendor or grocery wallah – you can gift them a box of sweets or a small tip as a token of deep gratitude.

Spend Time at an Old Age Home

Old age is really lonely for many elderly people during festivals as they miss their youth and also their loved ones during the time badly. You are well capable of elevating their mood by meeting them with a small box of sweets and some sweet talks. Hear out their experience and get immense love in return.

Be Concerned for Environment

This is the duty of everyone to feel a little bit accountable for the environment. Fortunately, now only green crackers are available in the market to fight air and noise pollution. Use only these crackers while celebrating Diwali and you can gift them to an orphaned child as well to make them enjoy their day.

Be Compassionate to Street Dogs & Birds

This is also crucial as any firecracker can affect street dogs, birds, and other animals to a great extent. Careless use of even green firecrackers can seriously injure and, sometimes, kill these animals. This is truly heartbreaking. Play with crackers in a responsible manner so that animals don’t get scared.
Whatever you do on Diwali, just keep this in your mind that no one shall feel any kind of pain because of you and you can become a reason for someone else’s celebration.

A Very Happy Diwali to all!
Blessings!

Gift a Dream Adopt a Child | Balkalyan Yojana

Posted on by Vishwa Jagriti Mission

India accounts for the highest number of deaths of children under five years of age. Around 50% of such deaths caused mainly due to malnutrition and poor living conditions. According to the Unicef report, India accounts for 22% of the total under-five children death globally.

A child is a gift of God, born into certain circumstances, cultures, places, wealthy or poverty, with specific genetics, talents and drawbacks. No one has any control over these circumstances Life for a newborn baby is like a river with multiple tributaries branching out in different directions. And really, it’s a bit like that for all of us.

Joy of giving

Teaching a child ‘how to live’ is greater than just giving birth. Of course, nothing can replace the joy of giving birth, but still, some people throw away this blessing specially if it’s a girl child. Among the most unconventional reasons to adopt a child is the joy of giving love to those who are not so fortunate to get parents’ love. Adoption is not just good for the society, but for your well-being, as you feel deeply connected with your child and get to experience the blessing in disguise.

Joy of supporting a child

If it’s not always possible for a couple or for that matter for an individual to adopt a child due to any reason, you can always sponsor a child through NGOs or charitable societies. Thousands of children are living in poverty, and they are praying for their survival. Children growing up in poverty have to face many challenges: hunger, no education, limited access to medical services and social discrimination. But people like you can help these children get the basic necessities of life. It can be by sponsoring them for education or food. It will create lasting change in their lives and in communities.

No joy could be bigger than to see a child progressing because of your share of love and care that you extended. The kind of satisfaction is at par beautiful.

Joy of spreading happiness

We must come forward to help needy children not just for the welfare of these children, but also as a step towards ensuring our own betterment. Because our future depends on them! Adopt poor children and be their savior. Help them in whatever way you can as per your capacity, financially or even in kind. And if you can not help them financially, go and spend time with them. Making those children realize that they aren’t alone and that they have friends to be with, can make them joyful. Giving smiles and happiness serves the same way.

By adopting a ‘poor’ child and caring for him/her, you are filling up your ‘good karma‘. After all, children are a priceless gift from God that brings joy, pride and prosperity.

HH Maharajshri Says

Those children without parents are not alone, rather they are more fortunate because they are the children of God and so He named them ‘Devdoot‘.

Having the most kind and loving eye for these children, He introduced Devdoot Balkalyan Yojna, a special platform for the welfare of these children of God. Calling them orphans is strictly restricted in the Mission family. He has built several schools and balashrams specifically for these children and for those who are not able to fund their education and meals. He wants that each child must realize their capability at it’s best and shines bright.

Gift a Dream

You can ‘Gift a dream” to one or as many children you want. Gift them a dream of education, a dream of healthy food, a dream of progress and a dream of being successful in your capacity. Remember that Maharajshri says, ‘that each one of us should contribute 2% of our total income towards any social cause to bring fortune in our own life’.What better could be, than sponsoring a child’s education for a better future.

When each one of us will be determined to contribute towards the welfare of the society in whatever capacity we can, Satyug will return.

Where there’s a WILL, there’s a WAY to HELP the NEEDY in winters

WAY to HELP the NEEDY in winters

 

WAY to HELP the NEEDY in winters

The winter season has kicked in. While many people have the comfort of cozying into that warm blanket or quilt, there are many homeless and poor people in the city, who struggle really hard to just survive in this cruel time of the year. Night shelters for the homeless come as a relief to many in big cities yet, they are hardly enough, considering a large number of the needy.

A large number of homeless spend their winter nights out on the streets without blankets or woolen clothes and sometimes without food. And the whole night is a battle of survival for such people that some win and some lose.

Can we help these people survive the chilly winds? Of course, we can! All we need is some will.

Here’s what can be done to support the poor & homeless who sleep under flyovers and footpaths.

1. Donating Blankets

Warm blankets are a much-needed essential for a whole lot of deprived people. You can arrange some blankets and donate them to shelter homes, temples, NGOs, and charities that are running blanket donation programs.

A few social service organizations have come forward for the noble cause.

For over a decade, Vishwa Jagriti Mission (VJM), under the gracious guidance of HH Sudhanshu ji Maharaj and Dr. Archika Didi Ji, is also carrying out a blanket distribution drive so that the needy can have their share of warmth during the winters.

This year also, blankets will be distributed to poor destitute people on New Year Day, 1st January.

Anyone can participate in the blanket distribution drive by gifting a meager amount to give the needy a well-needed touch of warmth amidst the cruel winters..

2. Offer ‘life-savers’ lying uselessly in your cupboards

We all have that sweaters and jackets we haven’t worn in many years. They are lying uselessly in a corner of the cupboard. Let’s give it to someone who’s in dire need of such clothes. These clothes are not less than life-savers for them.

3. Arrange a humble hot beverage/food camp

In the chilling weather, a small cup of hot beverage, like tea, works as a great relief. You can plan to organize a ‘tea camp’ in your vicinity where underprivileged people would be living. If you want you can also arrange a food camp or support any social service organization organizing such camps regularly.

Remember, even a modest gesture of warmth boosts the morale of the destitute. They don’t need more. If even 100 people in a city with a population of Crores will come forward, it will bring relief of warmth to the lives of thousands of deprived people.

Let’s be the ‘one’ among the 100.

4. Spread awareness about organizations helping the needy in winters

Many organizations and NGOs offer winter-care support, like warm clothes donation, to the needy for free. Inform the needy people around your locality about such organizations and help them in taking care of their wellbeing during the winter season.

5. Offering groceries

There are people out there who could barely manage basic meals in winters because of low mobility. This winter, donating groceries can be a noble idea. You can arrange oil, spices, Atta, rice, biscuits or anything that you want even in a small quantity for 50-100 needy people. It will give them relief in winters.

So, there are many ways to help the needy in winters. All you need is a little will.

This winter, be a little generous and give a touch of warmth to those who desperately need it in order to live on.

Happy giving!

They Need You! | Vishwa Jagriti Mission | Let’s Give Back to Society

They need you, lets give back to society

They Need You!

For a county that successfully managed to reduce poverty to some extent from 2011 to 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 came as a big shock. The pandemic hit India in 2020 when the country’s economy was working hard to gain some strength. The pandemic broke it so much that its impact is still visible in the form of job losses and a rise in poverty.

Pew Research Center, using World Bank data, has estimated that the number of poor in India has more than doubled in just a year due to the pandemic-induced recession. The study shows that the number of poor individuals — with earning less than $2 (Rs. 150) or less in a day — in India increased from 6 crores to 13.4 crores.

Due to this rise, India is back in a situation to be called a ‘country of mass poverty’.

This setback poses big challenges for our country in terms of malnutrition, mass unemployment and extreme poverty.

Now the question is, are we doing something to help these individuals. Are we thinking about these people or we are just involved in fulfilling our own needs?

Let’s Give Back to Society

You can help them by taking a pledge to give back to the society through your small efforts. Great philanthropists all over the world have spoken a great deal about giving back to society. They have also addressed the benefits of giving selflessly. It’s not very difficult to do that if you have intent.

Here’s how you can do it.

1. Support Them- society

You can help an Organization make a difference and provide aid to the needy in order to lead a dignified life.

There are many organizations in India that run regular food camps and shelters for those who cannot afford two square meals daily or basic health facilities. You can donate to these organizations and support various causes. Even the smallest of donations can make a big difference in the lives of many. These organizations run highly cost-efficient social programs, which are able to use the value of every rupee towards helping the poor.

Your small donation can make a huge difference, enabling the needy feel a sense of hope, fulfilment, and persistence.

2. Your Time is Also Money

Further, one of the best ways of giving back to society is donating your time at a non-governmental organization, school for the underprivileged, children shelter homes, old-age homes, etc. Your time is precious and gifting it without any expectation can make a world of difference in the lives of many needy individuals and organizations in these tough times.

3. Support Children in Need

Help children in need by volunteering with orphanages whose aim is to help improve the lives of poor children who have no one of their own. You can also arrange food and stationery for such children.

According to the reports, there are over 2 crore orphans in India; more than the total population of Sri Lanka. And it’s difficult at this time to come up with a realistic count of how many children are orphaned due to the COVID-19.

Our country is already making an effort to help these children yet struggling to help all of them. Let’s do our part by supporting orphanages who are taking care of such kids.

4. Show them Some Love

Volunteering at your local old-age home is also one of the noblest ways to give back to society. Your small gifts, during the festive season or just a visit can help prevent the feeling of isolation and depression among them. The seniors appreciate every gesture of compassion and love extended towards them.

5. Do not forget to motivate your family & friends

Your enthusiasm for helping the poor can definitely pass on to your children. You can take your children on regular trips to various organizations, to make them realize the impact of small donations. It will inspire them to take part in social work and help those in need. Let them understand that donating a small chunk of your earning is a major mood-booster that is hugely empowering the less privileged.

Thus, while you go on with your life fulfilling your responsibilities towards family, do not forget the society in which you live. It’s everybody’s duty to help those who are at the receiving end and for them do whatever you can.

Remember, they need you to survive, just be available for them.

The best things to donate

 

 

The best things to donate

Every season is a wonderful season of giving if you have a kind heart.  We should give not just to our loved ones, but to the needy as well who we don’t know, who we’ll never see. When you give something to the underprivileged and marginalized people, they keep you in their prayers that always benefits you.

Moreover, for donating you don’t need to be a rich philanthropist. Anyone can donate if he or she has a kind heart. It’s an amazing feeling that gives rise to a sense of satisfaction.

And in case you are thinking about what all you can give to make the needy happy, there are many articles you can donate other than food, clothing, and money.

All you need to do is a little research in order to find the right social service organization that will accept what you want to give.

Medicines

You can donate medicines that are not of your use. They can heal someone and even give life.  For example, if you have recently recovered from COVID-19 and have surplus useful medicines at home, support initiatives that seek medicines.

Many volunteer-run organizations collect medicines in their city. Know about them and donate.

Shoes, Socks & Bags

Shoes and bags are also nice items to donate. This will benefit many people—especially school-going poor children. And instead of throwing your old socks in the garbage bin, just wash them and donate them to some orphanage. They are yet another crucial item that many people can use. And if you have school backpacks or old luggage, they can also be donated.

Kitchen Utensils

Another nice thing to give to the needy is various utensils including plates, bowls, teaspoons, tablespoons, pans, serving trays, and pots.

Many social service organizations runs free food donation drives and some even run kitchens for poor people, you can donate utensils to them to ease their work.

So, if you’re thinking about getting some new utensils, donate your old ones first!

Games & Toys

Toys and games are also great items to donate. For example, there are many poor children in our country who don’t even know about puzzle games.

If you have some at your home, donate them so that poor children also understand how to use imagination for passing time in a creative way.

You can donate your old toys to children’s hospitals, orphanages, and daycare centers.

Hygiene products

Never forget how important donating hygiene items are. They are incredibly important to different shelters, old-age homes, schools for poor children, and orphanages. If you have some such products that you don’t use but which are still fresh, donate them.

Shampoo, Deodorant, Toothpaste and toothbrush, sanitary pads, soaps, Band-Aids, and Diapers are some of the nice items worth donating.

Old Furniture, Yes, why not!

If you have small coffee tables, old beds, benches, dining tables, rocking chairs, and things like and they are in good condition, give them to some old age home, orphanages or schools.

Once you go through your home and figure out what exactly you can donate, turn to GreenDrop for your donation pick-up or drop-off services. We partner with charities such as the Red Cross, Purple Heart, the National Federation of the Blind, and the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. We will turn tour donations into monetary donations that will greatly aid these charities. Donate now!

 

 

Why People Donate Time & Money | Vishwa Jagriti Mission

Why People Donate Time & Money

Why People Donate Time & Money

Many of us might be living in a healthy family, but this is a sad truth, we cannot say that we are living in a healthy society. Why? Since our society is a mixture of ‘Haves and Have Nots’.

And it would be difficult to imagine a healthy society without those who at least intend to improve its condition through their generosity. And that’s why the power of giving and donation finds mention in the works of great people, leaders, and thinkers.

Further, many people give back to society due to personal reasons. Here are some of the reasons why people love their generosity and donate their time, money and also, sentiments.

A Sense of Overall Happiness

If you are involved in charitable causes believe that you are helping many social service organizations. They make a big difference to the lives of the poor, hungry, and the needy.

There are various studies showing people who donate to charity find themselves having an overall improved sense of happiness and satisfaction. Even a meager amount makes a big impact.

Vishwa Jagriti Mission runs various cost-efficient social programs for helping the marginalized. And many people enthusiastically take part in them to feel happy.

Further, this is a harsh truth that while our country is seeing rising incomes and a better lifestyle, that has been matched with growing income inequality and helplessness, especially amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. In such times, the generosity of kind-hearted souls enables deprived people to feel a sense of hope and security.

This is also one of the key reasons why millions of people donate a small amount from their income regularly to support causes they believe in.

A Sense of Moral duty

Giving to charity also boosts personal values. It is believed that a feeling of social conscience is also one of the top reasons to donate money, material or time to any charitable organization.

Every year, hundreds of volunteers join Vishwa Jagriti Mission with a feeling to serve the poor and sick individuals. When asked, why they want to volunteer, about 60% cite ‘moral duty’ as a reason. They feel it’s their duty to use what they have to help and support others.

This sentiment is very much rooted in their personal values. It helps those who are marginalized, who cannot afford a simple meal for their family, and who are suffering due to lack of medical attention and medicines.

These volunteers act on a powerful feeling of responsibility and feel like they are living in a way that is true to their own beliefs which is beneficial for society as well.

A Sense of Good Parenting

Yes, this is also a great reason for many to donate. Through their humble efforts, many parents introduce their children to the importance of generosity for living a good life. Sharing the feeling of charity with kids shows innocent souls from a young age how they can make positive changes in their surroundings through small acts of kindness.

Also, it is in the nature of children to help others. Taking part in charitable causes nurtures their innate generosity and they grow up with a greater appreciation of what they have while having a better perspective of social realities.

That’s why many families have created a ‘Social Cause Box’ in their homes- like a Piggy Bank. In it all family members contribute including children. This is how these parents are inculcating the virtue of generosity in their children, which turns them into responsible adults eventually.

A Sense of Spreading Love

Right now, a large part of our society is becoming a victim of materialism. A majority of people are involved in fulfilling their own desires. They don’t care about others. They want to have good food, luxurious life, and personal well-being only. This is unfair. Man is a social animal and so it’s his duty to give it back to society.

A lot of people are craving love right now. It is an emotion that society severely lacks nowadays. And so many people take part in charitable causes to prove that love for mankind, love for others still exists. By taking care of others, they show that humanity is still present.

Every day, many good souls give a visit to Vishwa Jagriti Mission’s Old Age Homes. They donate their time and say they want to do it just for spreading love and make our older generations feel that they are not alone in their fight.

They also say, one day we will also grow old and we would expect our younger generations to give us a visit if we start living in an Old Age Home.

So, different people have different reasons to donate their time, money, and sentiments.

What’s yours?

Giving is Healthy! | Vishwa Jagriti Mission

Posted on by Vishwa Jagriti Mission

Giving is Healthy

Your instant urge of giving something to someone may seem ‘insignificant,’ yet its impact is way more beneficial and healthy than you think. When you give a life-saving mask, for example, to someone who cannot afford it, this simple activity could be the make or break for someone who lives and sleeps on the road. There could be incredible outcomes when you donate oxygen concentrator to a chosen hospital, or donate money to a social service organization or even when you donate your time by volunteering for noble pursuits.

Such small charitable acts foster a HEALTHIER you and that should be enough of a reason to GIVE!

In fact, nowadays there is a trend to be healthy through being virtuous and generous. People are donating to aid organizations and charities in order to gain a good health. The health benefits range from a surge in happiness hormones to improved self-worth to a significant cut in the risk of depression.

Let’s have a look at the healthy outcomes of ‘Giving’.

The Surge in Happiness Hormones

We take different efforts to cut the stress level. We get involved in creative activities, listen to music or take a nature walk. Such activities help in the release of happiness hormones and that reduce our stress.  Any act of giving also has a soothing effect on the mind which is the result of a surge in happiness hormones. When we donate, we feel satisfied leading to Dopamine release. It makes us happy and excited. When we build a bond with strangers who we meet while doing something for them, Oxytocin is released. These are happiness hormones making a human body feel rejuvenated brimming with good health and shine.

Now a lot of people are reducing stress by tackling the problems of strangers. Moreover, when you think of helping someone you focus your mind on something other than your own problems, for some time. This helps with renewed energy level leading to happiness. And therefore, those who volunteer are way happier than those who don’t.

Boost in Self-Esteem

One of the best health benefits of giving is ‘improved’ self-esteem. Everyone knows that donating is a selfless activity, as here we are focusing on helping others who are in need. It bestows a great sense of personal satisfaction. When you donate food to a social service organization or arrange life-saving machines to help COVID-19 patients, you’re offering much-needed resources for a noble cause.

Such offering of help to others often results in self-help with a boost in self-esteem. Everyone knows that cultivating self-esteem can be unexpectedly tough but offering help to someone is one of the smart ways to achieve that. And when our self-esteem is up, we not only feel better about ourselves, we are more powerful and healthy as well.

Makes you Optimistic

The wonderful cloud of great results you receive from giving also leads to a profound feeling of OPTIMISM. With great self-esteem comes a more optimistic mind. Giving has a positive impact on both the mind and the body.  When you do hard work, it stimulates the brain to release hormones causing happiness and joy, making you optimistic.

Likewise, when you give something to someone with the help of your hard-earned money, it makes you even happier and you develop an optimistic approach to life and work.

Improved Mental Health

Studies show that any act of giving is linked to positive mental effects that also include the end of depression. Giving is good for mental health as it doesn’t require much effort from you. With one simple act of giving, you’re bound to lessen those bouts of low self-esteem, insomnia, and high BP. Since here you are actively involved in something that is solving problems of strangers and reducing challenges in their lives. So, just because of your efforts, they have clothes, they are having good food, they are getting medicines, or they are getting life-saving medical machines.

Directly or indirectly you are behind many healthy and happy faces. Such a feeling automatically boosts your worth and you stay away from feeling depressed leading to improved mental health.

Therefore, try not to miss any opportunity of showing your kindness by helping someone in a way you want. This simple gesture has remarkable health benefits and there is no better wealth than health.

They Need our Love, Care & Support

They Need our Love, Care & Support 

The notion of family and the presence of love in it are wonderful gifts from God. Love brings hope with it and it gives the courage to deal with challenges in life. And a family plays a powerful role in the overall growth of a child. But what about those children who have to live without any family? 

These children are at risk since they have lost one or both parents to violence, sickness, age, or some other tragic incidence. Their future depends only on their willpower and survival instinct. In a few cases, orphaned kids find support from shelter homes, but a majority of them end up living on the streets and facing unimaginable tragedies. These children need our love, care, and support. Can we do something for them? Is adoption the only way?

In fact, there could be many ways to provide these kids with support (other than adoption).

You May Sponsor, Volunteer and Donate Your Time

Adoption is certainly not the only way to help vulnerable children; sponsorship is also one of the ways. Families can sponsor orphans making it possible for them to receive clothing, food, medical care, education, and other essential amenities.  

Moreover, many social service organizations are working in India for this purpose. Search for volunteer opportunities with them. You can help them by giving professional advice regarding outreach activities, donation events, or by donating your time for some administrative work in their offices. Many child care institutions do not have a sufficient number of caregivers. You may work for them with VJM Balkalyan Yojana.

Protect Kids From Harm or Teach Them

Children are meant to be at school and not on the streets. Ensure that their rights are respected in your area and they don’t get involved in child labor. You can empower the marginalized kids through workshops so that they can raise their voice against harassment and abuse.

You can also help children acquire understanding about their learning skills because it is true that even the most marginalized girls and boys can learn if provided with the opportunity. You may help them reach organizations that provide early and basic education for street children.

Offer Monetary Help, If You Can

Social service organizations are often in need of money to carry out different welfare programs for such children. You can donate one-time money or offer donations on a yearly basis. You may also direct your money to a particular area of need, such as food, medical care or education. Look out for charities helping orphans in India, you will get many, but be cautious.

When donating directly to institutions stay alert and verify astutely how your donation will be used. Trustworthy organizations take good care of children and hold their orphanages accountable. Donate to one of such institutions for the real impact.

Ask Your Friends and Relatives to Involve in Caring Activities

There is no problem if you are unable to save money for donations. There are still other ways you can bring a difference to the life of needy children. Talk to your family, friends, and colleagues, and tell them that you want to help orphans. You may motivate them to take part in initiatives for helping them. Any meager help through you can change the life of a helpless child.

Vishwa Jagriti Mission and Care for Kids

Vishwa Jagriti Mission (VJM), under the guidance of HH Sudhanshuji Maharaj and Dr. Archika Didi, has adopted many vulnerable kids as they are the ‘Children of God’ (Devdoot). 

It is our supreme duty to share whatever we have in the form of food, education, and clothing and let them live a simple yet good life.

VJM is running a public school in Jharkhand’s violence-prone region, Khunti to teach tribal children whose lives have been devastated due to conflicts. Many children are getting prepared here to lead a decent life through a good education.

In Surat (Gujarat) and Kanpur (Uttar Pradesh), VJM runs ‘Devdoot Bal Ashram’ to ensure comfort and care for vulnerable kids. Here, they get free food, housing, and education. Now children from this Ashram are excelling in the fields of education and sports. This proves the importance of ‘support’ in the life of marginalized children.

Furthermore, in Faridabad, VJM’s Gyandeep School is teaching underprivileged children, many of whom were collecting garbage earlier. They get education, food, and housing for free here.

Final Thoughts

Remember, children living without any family are actually hanging by a thin thread and need small support to become a good citizen.  If you can, offer your love, care, and support for such children. Support organizations that are working for them, teach such children, or motivate fellow men to offer help to them. They are ‘Children of God’ and they deserve a civilized life.

Top 5 Reasons to Give What You Have | Vishwa Jagriti Mission

Posted on by Vishwa Jagriti Mission

Top 5 Reasons to Give What You Have

‘ When you learn, teach. When you get, give.’ 

Maya Angelou

For the majority of mankind, winters mean putting on beautiful woolen clothes, lying in warm rooms, and having hot beverages. But for people on the streets, it’s a constant fight with the ruthless weather and a brutal question of survival.

Unsurprisingly, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD)’s recent data reflects a nerve-wracking trend. It shows that cold waves killed more Indians than heatwaves since 1980. Moreover, according to IMD, many North Indian cities, including Delhi, are continually witnessing ‘severe cold’ days as the minimum temperature sometimes drops to 4 degrees Celsius. Certainly, the coming few days (Dec-Jan) would be really struggling for a large number of street dwellers.

Can we do something about it? 

We usually say that hundreds and thousands of people die of cold every year, but we don’t understand that they die because they don’t have blankets and woolen clothes. 

Needless to say that we can bring a difference in their life effortlessly.

We can offer blankets directly to the needy by visiting their area or shelter homes (night shelters) or we can consult the organizations that are involved in social work. Giving in itself is a divine virtue and it ultimately leads to many nice outcomes.

Top Five Reasons to Give

  1. The Small Gesture of ‘Giving’ Has a Big Impact

While discussing the sufferings of the underprivileged, many people feel profound sorrow and think that there is nothing we can do about the situation as we are not rich. 

But here, you don’t need to be a millionaire to make a significant difference in someone’s life. 

Search and you will find many opportunities wherein you can offer a meager amount and offer help to someone who is struggling to survive during the winter season.

  1. 1.Giving Can Save Lives

Winter mortality is a problem that can be easily solved through warm blankets. Timely interventions can break the cycle of winter deaths. 

You can buy blankets yourself and distribute them among the needy or you may share your warmth through the organizations that run drives to help the people on the streets.

Your small offering can really save someone’s life.

  1. Giving Brings Happiness

Giving to others is directly linked with an increased sense of contentment and happiness. Many kinds of research have proved that. 

Experience the pleasure of giving by seeing your money being utilized for a noble cause.

  1. Let’s Make a Healthy World for All 

There is no better gift than offering blankets to the needy during the harsh winter season. Millions of street dwellers experience the bitterness of winter and fall sick. This year, a pandemic has made their situation even more challenging.

A simple blanket can keep them healthy all through the season and this is the right time to serve humanity by donating blankets. 

There cannot be a bigger satisfaction than ensuring good health for those who really need care.

  1. Realize That You Care

Life can get really busy sometimes and we forget to show our gratitude for everything given to us by the Almighty. 

Moreover, due to various indulgences, we hardly get a chance to experience our own caring spirit.

So, whenever you get a chance, just give and see how rewarding it is for you. 

Blanket Donation Drive by Vishwa Jagriti Mission

Every winter, Vishwa Jagriti Mission (VJM), under the guidance of HH Sudhanshuji Maharaj and Dr. Archika Didi organizes blanket donation drives across India. 

The idea is to provide good quality blankets to underprivileged people living on the streets. 

Anyone who wants to be a part of the noble drive can get in touch with VJM and experience the pleasure of giving.

Come, be a part of the drive!
