| How did this Orphanage
Indian connection happen?
In January of 2006, I took a spiritual journey to
India and
had a very enlightening time. One day I handed a man
50 rupees (about $1) and he put his hand over his heart,
looked me in the eyes and the tears started to flow. It was
then that I realized this unknown person was giving me more
love, gratitude and a feeling of sacredness than I had felt
from anyone in years.
I traveled through the town of Tiruvannamalai
where my spiritual teacher Ramana sat in a cave for 17 years in the famous mountain
of Arunachala. The most wonderful surprise came when we
met a man who had just started a facility to house, clothe and
feed the orphaned Indian children there. We could feel how
HUGE his heart was, and how deeply
he cared for these orphans who were either physically disabled
or abandoned by their parents.
S. Nadanakumar
(or Babu as he likes to be called) has provided a small
shelter
where these orphaned children can sleep, eat and be cared for by adults who
donate their time. He provides clothing, medical care,
and enabling activities that help them to acquire an education.
Here's a picture of the kids after receiving a few toys from
someone with a loving donation!
