Spreading Positivity

|| Keep going, Keep growing, Keep glowing ||  There was one statement I learned from the actions of deaf kids at a recent event: "Believe that one day you will." Recently, we held a special screening of the film "Chak De! India" for over 200 kids from various special schools in Mumbai. Most of them were wearing hearing aids, and the majority were supported by the Josh Foundation. The screening was done with English subtitles, as most of the kids came from Hindi and Marathi medium backgrounds. When we were planning, many questions arose: Would these kids understand the film? Would they need an interpreter to explain it to them? Would they follow the language of the film? I have been working with them for the last 33 years and have come to understand that, although they may not have one sense organ functioning efficiently, their other senses are incredibly powerful. They possess unimaginable inner potential. Whatever comes their way, they appreciate, analyze, and work

  || You always Gain by Giving Love || Lord Krishna, the creator of our universe, in his eighth incarnation, depicted that the love in our hearts is the best medicine to heal the world. For our physical health, we run, walk, exercise, and eat nutritious food. For our mental health, we may express our emotions and feelings for our loved ones or the environment around us. However, if our souls do not release love into the universe for ourselves and for others, then our efforts toward physical and mental health will be in vain. I was reading a poetry book about Lord Krishna that narrates how one can become lost in Krishna's love. In it, I read that Radha, who was closest to Lord Krishna, channels her vibrant energy through her imagination to support him in all his endeavors, whether it be running the kingdom, feeling alone, or helping others. Such vibrant energy exists in this world, but we humans, in this scientific revolution, are losing it every day. Radha never loved Lord Krishna

  Disability Doesn’t Stop You.... The human spirit has the power to rise above physical or mental challenges, proving that determination, perseverance, and hard work can overcome almost any obstacle.  Disability is often viewed as a limitation, but countless individuals worldwide have shown that it is not a barrier to achieving greatness. Disabilities, whether congenital or acquired, do not define a person's abilities or potential. In fact, some of the most inspiring stories in history come from those who have turned their disabilities into opportunities for success. One of the greatest examples of overcoming disability is the Paralympic Games. It was established to offer athletes with disabilities a platform to compete at an elite level, the Paralympics demonstrate the incredible feats the human body and mind can accomplish. Paralympians compete in a wide variety of sports, from athletics to swimming, showcasing their strength and resilience. These athletes train just as hard as t

  Devotional Service is a Privilege.... I read somewhere that devotion is love with wings. So, to engage in devotional service means spreading love, and if we get such an opportunity in life, it is truly a privilege and brings immense satisfaction. In India, from August to September, there are many festivals like Janmashtami, Ganpati, Navratri, Diwali, and more, which people celebrate with great preparation. Some do it because it has been a tradition passed down by their ancestors, some because others are doing it, and some to have a reason to invite people to their homes. Some celebrate because their children or parents demand it, while others do it in groups to celebrate together. Everyone in the house, family, community, and country comes together for these devotional activities to pray to God and celebrate the spirit of divine connection. But I wonder, why is this connection only for these three months? Why not every month, every day, every minute, or every second? I believe we, as
