Dear Divine Souls,

It is so beautiful to see the continuous progress being made by India Heritage Research Foundation in all of its innumerable spiritual, charitable noble endeavors. From emergency relief for disaster victims to the building of orphanages to the publication of crucial, enlightening texts, IHRF embraces the whole of humanity and seeks to heal whatever ails God’s children.

I always say, “Giving is Living.” It is through the service of those less fortunate that we attain peace, satisfaction and liberation in life. Seva, Sadhana and Samarpan – these are the keys to a successful, meaningful, Divine Life. IHRF’s projects and activities seek to encompass all three of these essential components: Seva (selfless service) for those in need through our free schools, women’s vocational training programs, health care camps, gurukul/orphanage. Sadhana – through our spiritual and cultural activities such as hosting Bhagwat Kathas, interfaith harmony gatherings and Sadhana camps. Samarpan – through our ceaseless dedication to God and humanity.

However, none of it is possible without the help of our donors. It is only through the devotion and altruism of these divine souls that we can feed the hungry, heal the sick, educate the illiterate, train the unemployable and bring light to the darkness.

Every time I see the light sparkle in the eyes of a child who has learned to read, and every time I see the relieved smile on the face of a patient whose illness has been cured, every time I see someone touched, transformed and uplifted through the spiritual programs, I always remember our generous donors who have made these miracles possible.

May God bless you all with health, happiness, peace, prosperity and spiritual bliss.

In the service of God and humanity,

Swami Chidanand Saraswati
