Dear All Members,
It is my honour and privilege that today we are all here assembling on this platform.
This is an honour to our creed, honour to our race and testimonial to something which has always has been and forever will be within each one of us----love. Love for our heritage, love for our families & friends; the beautiful land upon which we feed and live & above all our unwavering love for each other. Yes, human is flawed. At times man can be spiteful and harmful. But is it not beautiful that even under all this pain and duress, we somehow continue to find it within us to be connected to our true essence? Our
essence of basic goodness lies within us, which is not something we own, or have, but something which we intrinsically are.
1. Ask someone why their heart is now filled with spite for one who they once loved. And if he were to dig deep into his emotions, he will astonishingly realize that it was because he could not help that person and as a result, he then started to dislike that person.
Is that not interesting.
I have been pondering on what is the common purpose of this group.
This group has formed because one day I wanted to celebrate my father's wish to help his fellow humans in every endeavor of their life; through financial support, giving sound advice, offering a warm meal or starting a bank to support the local community. Whatever his hopes were, they were to help humanity.
And thus, it is not only my duty, honour and in respect of his legacy that I would like to announce the common goals of this group.
1) To bring about a better understanding of each other by encouraging more constructive communication, thus raising awareness of who we really are. I would like to welcome each one of you to post daily, weekly, monthly, yearly; whichever; a good deed that you or someone you know has done. This is not from a viewpoint of self-importance. But in a world where there is much negativity about how bad mankind is, is it not imperative that we shed light on how good we really are? An axiom comes into being here: Whatever we validate we get. If you say it is bad, then it is bad. If you say it is good, then it is good. So, let us set the stage for waking up to the goodness within us.
2) To complement each other where we can and to find it in our heart to show our greatness which we all have, to be kind to each other despite our flaws.
3) To maintain a sane environment for the future by introducing and recommending proven and workable practices which can help remove the current issues of mental health
4) To respect each other's religious beliefs.
5) To help India's basic essence of a land of rich art, culture, heritage, peace and patience for each other.
6) To inspect and handle matters which will help the needy. That may that be communes for the elders, funds for credible charities, job creation for the poor, and so on.
