Hello Friends,
Greetings.
World is so small. I know a senior couple, Sri Rajeswara Rao
Gumdavelli and Smt. Tulasi. They attended the free Sanskrit classes
run by Dr. Sundar Raj Perumal. He told me that he knows some
organizations in Kukatpally. Then he went to US to visit his son. He
will be coming back in this month or May. Once I asked him in chat
about the people in Kukatpally and he told that most of them might be
interested in publicity but not on real social service. But he can
with full confidence say about two persons that he know and I can
approach them. (He mentioned one other person as well but I do not
want to share here)
One is the President of Kanakadurga temple and the other is the couple
who runs an orphanage mostly with their own funds. The name is
Dwarakamai Seva Samithi.
This is what he mentioned.
-------------------------------------------------------
Sri Kumara swamy , the president vasavi kanyaka parameshwari temple
near KPHB (active member in BJP). He can do service of a dozen men
with his only single hand.
Opposite to Kanakadurga temple in KPHB a wonderful couple
serving to society by running an "orphan home" with mainly their own
funds and full time. He is a central govt employee running free
orphanage in his home and cotributing his salary 100 % to it. His wife
serving as equal to own mother to 22 (perhaps) and she has no money to
appoint workers. His name is Raghunath.
------------------------------------------------------
Yesterday Sriram garu, Vice President of Manavata (who also joined
BoSF yesterday), told me about the same orphanage. He told that a
couple are doing wonderful service to the orphan kids and he is a very
spiritual person and he went to so many slums and got these children.
Now he found nearly 128 children and wanted to help them.
Manavata is interested in running an orphanage and they wanted to
support the children identified by Sri Raghunath. He is a devotee of
Shirdi Baba.
P.S: After a recent discussion on religion and spiritual beliefs and
the best ways to run an orphanage I wish to state this as well. I
haven't met this couple but I want to visit them. Once I visit may be
I can write about my impression.
I personally am a believer and I adore Shirdi Sai Baba. I am glad that
HE doesn't belong to any religion and may be this is one of the
factors for my tolerance.
Thank you.
with regards,
Prasanthi.

Hello Friends,
Greetings.
These are the details:
Kukatpally: 90/2 LIG, Third Phase Bus Stop, Lane Opp. to Kanakadurga temple --- Shirdi Sai Baba Anathasramamam.
On Sunday evening, Sriram garu of Manavatha and I are going to this orphanage. Actually there is a meeting of Vijayanagar Manavata Club at 4 pm (exact details will be mailed by Sriram garu). Anybody near Vijayanagar colony can attend. After this meeting we will go directly to Kukatpally.
When I rang Sriram garu for the address he told that Sri Raghunath, founder of the orphanage, asked him not to give his number for the people who visit and give their number asking if required call to us. He doesn't want such people. He wants people who are truly interested and be in regular touch with the children.
I told to Sriram garu that members of BoSF are not so and they will be in touch with any orphanage that they visit and keen on doing good work.
Thank you.
with regards,
Prasanthi.

Hello Friends,
Greetings.
This evening I visited Shirdi Sai Orphanage in Kukatpally. Maruti of
Vitarana group joined later with two of his friends.
Direction:
Take the lane opposite Chandana Brothers and beside Remedy Hospitals
and it will go straight to Venkateswara Temple. If you go straight,
you will see Kanakadurga temple. Exactly opp. the temple there is a
small lane and on the right side, this is the second one and the first
one being a hair salon.There is a small std booth on the road.
Details:
When I rang to Sri Raghunath he told that he will be going out of
station by 8:30 pm bus and also he has to go to a Bhajan near
Malaysian Township. So when I went there around 5, 5:15 pm, Smt.
Raghunath was there. She was busy preparing for the trip.
The children were having their evening food: Pulihora. I too was given
it and ate with them.
I couldn't get any details of the orphanage as Smt. Raghunath told
that it would be good if we listen from Sri Raghunath only. She told
that she takes care of the children and if she needs anything for
them, she will ask him. Other than that she does not know anything.
They started it due to some incident/experience of Sri Raghunath and
he brought two children home. Later the count multiplied, 4, 8, 16 as
such. Now there are around 32 children.
I have to say this is also a religious orphanage, Hindu, rather Shirdi
Baba's follower's orphanage. Even their names are also appended by the
tag, Sai. They did sing bhajans. They greet us as Sai Ram Annayya, Sai
Ram Akkayya.
As usual, all the children are very active and they told English and
Telugu Rhymes. Maruti taught them 'Enugamma Enugu' and they readily
byhearted it and they kept on repeating it so as not to forget.
They were actually watching the TV when I went there and after few
minutes when I asked them to switch it off, they immediately turned it
off.
Nothing much to say about the orphanage as of now because we do not
know any details. We get to know when we meet Sri Raghunath.
This visit taught me few lessons. May be I will write in my blog as
this is not the medium to share personal feelings.
This is also a good 'religious' orphanage if not Christian, Hindu
rather secular for Shirdi Baba being a secular god who does not belong
to any religion in particular, a manifestation of god in the mere
sense of god.

Hello Venkat and others,
Greetings.
Rajeswara Rao garu, Naresh garu, Jayadev and I visited the Orphanage.
No Reporter did turn up as they are busy in the many activities being
held in the City. However Mr. Eswar assured that he will visit the
home tomorrow.
Coming to the visit, it was a good one. Raghunath garu is present this
time. The strength of the students is 11, 23, 36, 41 in the successive
years from 2005.
He has identified 87 children from the slums. The new children are
semi orphans and poor. Their parents are interested to educate them
but owing to the poverty, they couldn't send them to school.
Raghunath garu spoke with the Management of different schools and got
their consent that they do not charge much fee for those children.
Schools are making arrangment for their transport as well.
With respect to money, whatever donations came from friends he
deposited in the bank and it is Rs. 5 lakhs now. The interest is used
to run the home. It is a EWS House (G+2) and his wife and two senior
girls are taking care of the house. So not much expense in maintaining
it. Overall the monthly expenditure would be Rs. 20,000 max including
the school and tuition fee. He and his 6 friends take care of the
expenses. Some visitors bring them rice or whatever they feel like
giving. They never asked anyone funds except the one great giver :)
(Its Baba).
Coming to the support front, the organization has 80 G Exemption but
as they never approached anyone it was not of much use to them so
far.
It is good if we can spread his work and let other Organizations
support his endeavour. If at all the Reporter could make it to the
Orphanage, get the details and publish them in the Paper, you can read
more.
Coming to the visit, it was a good one. All of us engaged the children
well. We not only asked them to sing songs or rhymes, we encouraged
them to play their role of interest (on what they want to become in
future). All the children thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Naresh garu
taught them about common sense and explained them about how to think
and how to analyze situations.
Rajeswara Rao garu and Jayadev went back to their school days and
pretended as students and patients.
The photos of our trip are posted here:
