Sriman Raja Reddy, founder of Raja Foundation invited Sri ChinnaJeeyar Swami to provide insight, guidance and blessings to serve the orphans under his umbrella better.
Swami said, ‘When someone is strongly committed to achieve a goal, all other external sources of support will begin to aid in the efforts. Raja ji’s commitment towards supporting orphans grow in a nurtured and holistic environment is greatly appreciable.’
Swami added, ‘Cut down on some additional expenditure. Ex: Buy one chocolate instead of three in a week! Spend on one new set of clothes instead of three in a month! Direct that expenditure towards causes such as these!’
Today, being Vasantha Panchami – Saraswati Devi’s day of appearance, Raja ji created an opportunity to all children for aksharabhyasam, to begin writing their first letter with the blessings of Sri ChinnaJeeyar Swami! It is believed that children who are blessed today to begin their writing will have the ability to become scholars.
Swami addressed, ‘అచార్యస్తు హరి సాక్షాత్ చర రూపి న సంశయహ!, God is an invisible form and Acharya is the visible form of the same thatvam! Learn to respect and seek guidance from that Acharya who can be seen. When you begin to walk in the path laid by the Acharya, God’s form can then be completely actualised. So, let us write ‘ఓం అస్మద్ గురుభ్యో నమహ’ to begin your path of knowledge!’
Swami donated 1 lakh rupees towards this cause. His Holiness very courteously added that He gets some money from people who want to serve through his guidance on needy areas in society and is happy to utilise it for such good causes!
