ARA----------------------------A special social service program was organized on Sunday at the premises of the Shri Hanuman Mandir, Badi Mathiya. During the event, free school uniforms, study materials, umbrellas, and other daily necessities were distributed among hundreds of Mahadalit children. The event was presided over by Mahant Ayodhya Nath Swami of Badi Mathiya, who is the chief disciple of Jeeyar Swami Ji Maharaj.

On this occasion, Padma Shri awardee and head of 'Nayi Asha', Bhim Singh 'Bhavesh', along with several prominent citizens of the town, encouraged the children. While explaining the importance of education and good values, Mahant Ayodhya Nath Swami narrated an inspiring story about a poor boy who lived in a remote village.

He had neither books to study nor proper clothes to wear, yet he possessed a deep passion for learning. Every day, he would sit outside the ashram, quietly listening to the Guru's teachings and practicing by tracing letters on the ground with his fingers. Impressed by his dedication and zeal, the Guru invited him into the ashram and educated him. That very boy later became respected throughout the state for his scholarship and spirit of service.

This story teaches us that regardless of our circumstances, if we have a genuine desire to learn and progress, no difficulty can stop us. Resources are merely a means; true power lies in your dedication and hard work. You children are the future of this country. Study diligently, respect your elders, and embrace good values. Only when you become educated and virtuous will the true welfare of society and the nation be realized.

It was said that the Math's initiative, stating that providing education and basic amenities to children from underprivileged sections is true humanitarian service. Many prominent social workers, citizens, and a large number of local residents attended the event and wholeheartedly praised this noble endeavor.
