Ayudh - Awaken Youth; Unite for Dharma

This Diwali, AYUDH Ahmedabad celebrated the festival of lights with children who are battling cancer. The AYUDHians sang Amma’s Bhajan "Ek Deep Jalaye Ham Pyar Ka..." with the children, praying sincerely for them and for the world. The atmosphere was filled with love and hope as the AYUDHians distributed gifts and School kits packed with stationery and school supplies, collected as part of ‘Amritam’ project of Amrita Vidyalayam, Ahmedabad. The event was organized at the Believe Foundation, Ahmedabad who focus on supporting children affected by cancer.

AYUDH members spent time playing games with the kids and listening to their stories, sharing moments of laughter and tears. Some AYUDHians were deeply moved, witnessing the strength and innocence of the small children in the hall. It was a powerful opportunity to practice compassion and reflect on the suffering in the world. As Amma says, "Diwali is the light of the soul, where darkness is dispelled by the light of love and kindness."

AYUDHians wished the children a speedy recovery. This experience reminded everyone of the power of prayer, and the they chanted "Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu together"—“May all beings in this world be happy and peaceful.”
