Inauguration of New Centre opposite IIS, VT Road corner

Shri Sherpal Singh and Shri B.L.Gupta (with his wife) were very happy to inaugurate the new center for 'Jhuggi-Jhopri' children with a view to educate them on 20-12-2011. Mrs. Pooja Sharma, lady teacher and Shri K.N.Maheshwari delivered their lessons for three letters- 'Ga', 'Ma' and 'Na', with a new play-way style. 'Gam', 'Mag', 'Gaman', 'Magan', 'Naman', etc., were the words with their uses in sentences taught to the children along with some poems, of the likes of 'Bachche mann ke sachche' and 'haath hain mere chhote-chhote', etc.
Nearly 40 children could learn with letters 'Ga', 'Ma', 'Na' in their hands with a smile. The scene was worth-seeing. The visitors and the guardians of the children appreciated the style of teaching.Shri B.L.Gupta addressed the children and donated a carpet for the convenient-sitting of the children.
The Trust members thanked the visitors and distributed biscuits to the children.

Thanks for Support

The recent comments from my grand-daughter Parul and others are very encouraging to let me think to go ahead for educating the poor children at some place where it may be known that all the poor children form all over Jaipur may come to attend my class. Dr.KN Singh of New Delhi has promised me to donate a land for this purpose at Bhaskar Enclave, Tonk Road, Jaipur. At present, the poor children are being taught in their own vicinity for convenience and safety. Their parents do come there and appreciate the progress of their children. A homeopath Dr. Vinay Singh attends the children off and on for their well being. He treats the ailing children and their kith and kins whoever see the doctor at the center. Mr. Anup K Srivastava, a young businessman, and Shri Suresh Chand Sharma visit the centres as per their convenience and report me from time to time. The teachers teach the children with a smile and do it as worshipping God.The demand for used clothes and stationery articles still continues for the benevolent persons. The persons who appreciate and support my efforts are worthy of thanks. And I hope to get their support financially and verbally for greater improvement in my efforts.

Our Benevolent member

We thank Mr. H.R. Batra (Manager, Bank of Baroda, Mansarovar Branch) for being kind enough to become a member of our benevolent persons' list. 

'DRAWING COMPETITION'

A large number of children appeared at the 'DRAWING COMPETITION' with regard to 'COW' at our GYAN YAGYA center. The children showed great interest and spoke about the IMPORTANCE OF COW after drawing the pictures of a cow.
On 2nd November Shri H.R. Batra(Chief Manager, Bank of Baroda, Mansarovar, Jaipur) visited two GYAN YAGYA centers. Shri B.L. Gupta(senior citizen) along with us also accompanied him. The children were very happy to receive the dresses from the Bank Manager. Their guardians also enjoyed the scene. This was the SIXTH occasion of distributing clothes to the children.
The benevolent persons often encourage our poor children by distributing eatables also to them!! :)

Lead a balanced and Happy Life

A cyclist very well knows how to balance his bike. In the beginning, of course, he finds it difficult to balance it. But after a little practice he very well manages it. Similarly, a person in the modern busy life feels it difficult to manage and plan his activities. Therefore, he is often seen disgusted and too busy.
In my opinion, a little thinking to plan his daily activities, giving due importance in fixing the priorities and planning of his schedule can help him to balance his life so as to get happiness and desired success. The following points should be borne in mind while planning :-
1. Excess of every thing is bad. It is advisable to adopt the middle path of living.
2. First priority should be the well being of the person himself.
3. Due importance should b given for the development of home and cheerfulness of the family members.
4. Some time should be devoted for his self thinking so as to make necessary corrections in his way of living. Good literature of saintly persons should be read daily.
5. Social life should be maintained but not at the cost of home.
6. Help those persons who are really in need of it, without personal interest.

If the above points are borne in mind while living a simple life, God will shower His blessings.
'Work is Worship' should also be considered as TRUE WORSHIP!!

Continuing a Tradition of Trust since 2005

The service of humanity under the scheme of 'Gyan-Yagya' kendras and 'Shri Radhey Silai Kendras' is now of greater dimensions as the number of Centres to spread literacy to the poor slum children and the source of Income to the poor ladies by learning 'Tailoring Art' has been increased by slow steps and thereby the beneficiaries have also been increased day by day.
The number of children of slums has shown an increasing trend who have been admitted in the nearby schools. As many as 84 children have recently got admission in Nischaya Modi & BarDevri Schools, of Jaipur in addition to Govt.Primary Schools, under pursuation of the Teachers who have been teaching them with great zeal and enthusiasm.
Seventeen Centres for Gyan-Yagya and Shri Radhe Silaai Kendras are being run at present.

Unserviceable Articles for Poor Children Demanded

There are many generous people who supply the articles which are not used in their family eg. dresses, books, stationery articles, toys, pictures, unexpired medicines, old calendars, blank papers, pencils, small pencils, wax colors, crayons, etc. We thankfully receive those articles with letter of thanks from the Trust.
This service of the general public is rewarded by God since the poor children are very much benefitted by using them. They bestow their blessings to such kind persons.
It is our general invitation to the public who are in search of the proper place where unserviceable articles may be thankfully used.

Teachers' Meet

Help the street children...

There are many visitors who have offered their help to the street children while they visited the Centres. Used clothes which are lying in the house, used books which are upto the fifth standard are thankfully accepted for helping the street children.

Those visitors who were happy to see the large number of children at the Gyan Yagya centres offered to help financially also. In this way the Trust is getting the support of the visitors for service to humanity.

At present there are 16 centres running for educating the poor children who can't afford to go to school. Experienced lady teachers teach them by 'play-way method' in such a manner that appeals to the learners and appreciated by the visitors.

The persons who are interested to join hands with the Trust are requested to contact the Managing Trustee @ No. – 09314004081, 0141-2782244 and 2782189

A must read conversation

An atheist professor of Philosophy speaks to his class on the problem Science has with God. He asks one of his new students to stand and the conversation begins.

Prof: do you believe in God?

Stu: absolutely Sir!

Prof: is God good?

Stu: sure.

Prof: is God all powerful?

Stu: yes.

Prof: my brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill but God dint. How is this God good then?

Student is silent.

Prof: you can’t answer. Can you? Let’s start again young fellow. Is God good?

Stu: yes.

Prof: is Satan good?

Stu: no

Prof: where does Satan come from?

Stu: from God.

Prof: that’s right. Tell me son, if there is evil in this world?

Stu: yes.

Prof: evil is everywhere. Isn’t it? And God did make everything. Correct?

Stu: yes.

Prof: so who created evil?

Student doesn’t answer.

Prof: is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world. Don’t they?

Stu: yes Sir.

Prof: so who created them?

Student has no answer.

Prof: science says you have five senses. You use to identify and observe the word around you. Tell me son, have you ever seen God?

Stu: no Sir.

Prof: tell us if you have ever heard your God?

Stu: no Sir.

Prof: have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?

Stu: no sir.

Prof: yet you still believe in Him

Stu: yes.

Prof: according to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol science says your God doesn’t exist. What do you say to that son?

Stu: nothing, I only have my faith.

Prof: faith and yes, that is the only problem science has. 

Stu: can I ask you something sir? Is there such a thing as heat?

Prof: yes.

Stu: and is there such a thing as cold?

Prof: yes.

Stu: no sir, there isn’t.

The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.

Stu: sir you can have lots of heat, super heat, mega heat, a little heat or no heat but we don’t have anything called cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We can’t measure cold, heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, just the absence of heat.

There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.

Stu: what about darkness Prof? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Prof: yes, what is night if there isn’t any darkness?

Stu: you are wrong again sir. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light but if you have no light constantly it is called darkness. In reality, darkness isn’t, if it were you would be able to make darkness darker. Wouldn’t you?

Prof: so what is the point you are making young man?

Stu: sir my point is that your philosophical premise is flawed.

Prof: can you explain how?

Stu: sir you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir science can’t even explain a thought; it uses electricity and magnetism but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life, just the absence of it. Now tell me prof. do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes of course I do.

Stu: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

Prof shakes his head with a smile beginning to realize where the argument is going.

Stu: since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work, and can’t even prove that this process is an on-going endeavour..Are you not teaching your opinion sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?

The class is in uproar.

Stu: is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the professor’s brain.

Class breaks out into laughter.

Stu: is there anyone here who has ever heard the prof’s brain, felt it, touched it or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir!! With all due respect sir, how do we then trust your lectures?

The room is silent. The prof. stares at the student, his face unfathomable.

Prof: I guess you will have to take them on faith son!

Stu: that is it sir. The link between man and God is faith…that is all that keeps things alive and going.

Want to know who that student was…this is a true story and the student was none other than

Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam!!

Visitor's Remarks(2)

On June 3rd, 2011, Mrs. Hemlata Gupta wrote......




Dear Mrs. Saroj Kumari Maheshwari,
It was immense pleasure for me to preside over the 'Gyan Yagya' Teachers' meet on your invitation.
I could know from the teachers that they get their remuneration on every first day of the month from the Trust. They were very happy to tell me that the Centres for teaching the street children of 'Kachchi-Bastis' and 'Jhuggi-Jhopdi' are often inspected by Shri K.N. Maheshwari and his Teaching Demonstration at the Centres is very useful for them.
I may safely remark that the Trust is doing very useful service for the development of the poor children with regard to their education and personality. May God bless you!


Yours truly,

Hemlata Gupta

Visitor's Remarks...

According to our motto, 'Seeing is Believing', we invite educationists and renowned persons to visit our GYAN YAGYA kendra, the Educational Centres for the poor chlidren.
Mrs. Prabha Mathur, an educationist, remarked on 26-5-2011 as follows:-
"It is a matter of pleasant experience of mine to visit recently some of the education centres of the poor children of 'Kachchi Basti' viz. Sumer Nagar and Uttam Nagar, Mansarovar, Jaipur run under the auspices of Sri RadheyGovind Charnarpit Sewa Trust.
Smt. Meena Sharma and Uma Arora, two of the lady teachers appointed by the Trust, were teaching a good number of children using a 'play-way method'. The students were happy and cheerful to answer my questions put to them.
Smt. and Sri. K.N. Maheshwari(retd. educationists) who supervise the Centres, of and on, deserve every support financially and morally for the benevolent work done by them in this old age as senior citizens.
I wish them every success in their efforts and can safely remark that others who can do so should copy them or help them, in some way or the other, so as to set an example for the younger generation who wish to serve India like Mr. and Mrs. Maheshwari."


NEW PLAN COMING SOON...
We are also going to start 'Educating the School Children' as our new plan with regard to English Grammar. Many of Shri K.N. Maheshwari's students appreciate his style of teaching Grammar since they learn it very easily then and there.

To ease the misery of the poor...

We appreciate the remark by Mr. Ratan Tata, "We are doing little to ease poor's misery." 
The Times of India dated May 23, '11.
The disparity between the poor and the rich is growing day by day. Each of us should express concern over this problem. The problem can be solved if the persons who can afford to solve it take it to their heart in real sense. If we wish to do it away but do little to solve the problem, it would remain as such.
Our Trust is of the opinion to form groups of persons who can contribute a bit of their wealth for the cause of educating the poor children. It would be a positive step to eradicate the gap.
The comments of the people are invited over this remark so as to awaken the general public at large.

No window-dressing; Real service to poor human beings

The trust has appointed such teachers who have real service-motto. They act as their mothers while teaching the poor children and love them by heart. They are regular in their teaching job. They are trained twice in a month by the Retired Deputy Director of Education, Sri K.N. Maheshwari, an eminent educationist and the Managing Trustee of the Trust.

Play-way method is adopted for teaching to create interest in the children for learning and their personality development. Their problems are also solved.

 

Nothing is good or bad but thinking makes it so...

It is an old saying...some people say, it is no use wasting time and energy to educate the poor or street children but my opinion is different. I think we can trace out talents in the poor children if we try....!!

This is why we have started several teaching centers at Mansarovar, Jaipur, where a lot of children are being taught for their physical and mental development. We meet the teachers from time-to-time and get their observations. They say that they have really found several talents in the poor children of 'Jhuggi-Jhopdi' and 'Kachchi Basti'.

WE INVITE THE OPINION OF OUR READERS ON THE TOPIC.....!!

Educating the Street Children

Under the auspices of Shri Radhey Govind Charnarpit Sewa Trust, Jaipur (Raj.) I made up my mind to give the lesson of cleanliness to the innocent, cheerful children of the Jhuggi Jhonpri and Kachchi Basti of Mansarovar, Jaipur whom I observed to be in the most dirty areas and filthy surroundings.

A survey was made with the help of some lady teachers of the Angel's Academy, Saryu Marg, Mansarovar under the guidance of their Principal, Mrs. Beena Shukla. It was found that more than 70 families who came from Gujarat, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan etc.lived along the VT Road, Mansarovar in very unhygienic conditions. The number of children of the age between 4 to 12 years was also great who were leading a miserable life along with their parents.

So, it aws decided to improve the lot of those children by means of 'literacy campaign'. With the help of the proprietors of 'Krishna Furnitures' and 'Vinayak Marbles', VT Road, Mansarovar 2 "Gyan Yagya" (Education) Centres were started in their premises.

Four lady teachers, experienced and able to serve with devotion, were appointed to train the children of the locality to live in better conditions, with clean habits and to let them learn basic alphabets and 3 Rs, i.e. Reading, Writing and Arithmetic. Nearly 70 children were looked after daily at the 2 centres. A number of people who appreciated the project offered to join hands with the Trust.

It was on the 26th day of January, 2008 that an Inaugural Function was held to celebrate the Gyan Yagya Function. A good number of Jhuggi Jhonpri children and their parents attended the function. A number of persons of great social importance graced the function. The trustees and the executive members of the Trust welcomed them. The report about the efforts taken so far to improve the condition of the Jhuggi Jhonpri children by providing them clothes, medicines, soap, towels, and hair oil, reading and writing material for their all round development and over all the efforts to make them good citizens was appreciated by the audience.

In this social and national work, many more persons took interest to encourage the Trustees for carrying on the nice 'project'. So, new Gyan Yagya Centres were started at different places in the vicinity of Kachchi Bastis and Jhuggi Jhonpris. The number of beneficiaries increased thereby.

An annual function was held on the 26th Jan. 2009, presided by Shri Panna Lal Ji Maheshwari, 'Swatantra Sainani' who had been honoured by the President of India, Hon'ble Smt. Pratibha Patil, Shri Manik Chand Ji Bohra, 'Sarvodayee Neta', Jaipur and the reputed jeweller, Shri Vipin Ji Khinduka were the guests of honor along with Shri Girdhari Lal Ji Bhargava, M.P. Jaipur, the Patron of the Trust. The great and respected Sant Shri Albeli Madhuri Sharan JI lighted the lamp along with other distinguished persons and the Chief Guest to open the Function at 3pm. Mrs. Manan Chaturvedi, Surman Sansthan, Jaipur and Mrs. Daksha Sharma, 'Apna Ghar', Jaipur participated along with their little artists who impressed the audience very much.

The little artists of Jhuggi Jhopris and students of Gyan Yagya showed their talents in the function by participating in the cultural activities. All the guests and persons who witnessed the function were spell bound and appreciated the activities of the little artists who were trained by Gyan Yagya teachers.

Besides educating the illiterate poor children of Jhuggi Jhopris  and Kachchi Bastis, our aim is to provide them opportunities for their personality development so as to make them good citizens. For this object in view several days are celebrated such as Bal Diwas on 14 Nov., Independence Day and Annual Day on 26 Jan.

Shri Vinay Singh is our associate as a Homeopathy Doctor who periodically visits the Gyan Yagya (Education) Centres to examine the children with regard to their health problems. He treats not only the students but their guardians, parents, brothers and sisters also. 

Our aim is also to maintain, preserve, protect and improve the ecological balance and environment, flora and fauna by way of plantation. The students are trained to water the plants and to see that they grow smoothly under their care and supervision.

The poor ladies and girls of Kachchi Bastis are given training for sewing and cutting their dresses. Three sewing centres are being run under the auspices of the trust to make them self reliant. Many of them are able to stand on their own legs since they earn their own livelihood by the use of sewing machines.

The Trust, Radhey Govind Charnarpit Sewa Trust, Jaipur was established in 2005. Since then the trust has been serving well for the cause 'Service to Humanity'.
