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.
