Dipali Learns to Walk with Corrective Shoes Provided by LDLM

Eight-year-old Dipali’s Mother thought her sweet and loving child would never be able to walk properly again. Dipali Das was born with a deformity: her feet pointed outwards contrary to the way normal feet are supposed to be. She could neither walk or stand properly and fell down before she could walk even two steps forward. Born into an extremely poor family in Gosaba, in a remote village in the Sunderbans, her father, a fisherman, was badly wounded when attacked by a tiger and could no longer support his family.

Baba’s compassionate heart opened when he heard of this beautiful child’s suffering and after her surgery to correct her deformity, Baba decided that LDLM would bear the cost of her corrective shoes till she is able to get back on her own feet. The girl was brought to Kolkata and fitted for proper shoes which, along with her Mother’s loving massage, and coupled with exercises, she can now dream of walking normally one day. Within the last one month of treatment from the Doctor the mission consulted, her new shoes and mother’s massage she has miraculously improved and can walk much, much better than ever before, as you can see in her photo.

Dipali also suffers from the nerves in her eyes drying up. Again, Baba’s loving Mission has taken up the responsibility for her eye treatment as well. Her eyes are now much better after consulting the Mission’s hospital for children's eye care and being under the direct care of the best doctors. Dipali, which means light, has certainly brought light into the lives of all who have treated her, with her sweet spirit to try again and again.

Seeing the Divine in the Smiles and Eyes of the Street Kids

Rashbehari-Tollygunj junction, the pavement is the home for many refugee families, they live on the streets, children are born there, they grow up there, but they have the same dreams that kids in rich families dream. I asked this wonder-kid, can you tell me a rhyme? Yes, and here he goes, with full confidence and joy of his heart. My heart was flooded with bliss eternal. I see God here, in these kids, they embody the Divine to me!!

I go to inaugurate a new street children's school in one of the pavements of Calcutta, she is one of the kids who came to join the school, i said to her " you are so beautiful, and look at her divine smile!!

She was looking at me from the moment i walked to pavement to start the street school, i could not take my eyes off her, for she is a perfect angel, so wanted to capture her divine presence, and here is my yet another gift, and let me tell you all these pictures are taken by me, for that is the greatest joy and i know they will give their best to me!!

LDLM Starts Pension Program for 72 Destitute, Physically Incapacitated Men and Women

4 February 2012

I am on my way to our oldest project in Sunderbans, the islands where we have been working since 1989, Bijoynagar Gosaba,My heart is filled with joy as we are going to distribute monthly financial support to 72 old and destitute women and men who have none in this world to help them when they are physically incapacitated. This is the Sunderbans ahead as seen from the boat.

The Old Mother breaks into tears expressing her gratitude while receiving the pension, Do we feel the same gratitude to God?

Old men and women listen to baba as he speaks to them before handing over the Cash support every month, a new Project of Mission for supporting the old and destitute in Sunderbands, Gosaba Project. — at Sunderbans, WB, Gosaba.

This old man brings this garland, and says "I am so happy to day, you have brought faith back into our hearts, into our life, we are ever grateful to you"!

This old man is paralytic, can't lift his head any more, i was in tears to see the pains and sufferance, can we not do something each day to remove the pain of another soul?

This blind boy while receiving the financial support tells me "i am blind", i ask all present, you all have eyes, but do you see? We have eyes, but we don't see the Truth, the reality, The Divine. I told the boy "try to see with your inner eyes, the Presence of God that is true seeing"

Let us pledge to breathe faith in another soul during the course of each day as our reciprocation to God's infinite Love.

Baba Visits Bageshwar, UK Spreading Blessings

Baba speaks at Mahalaxmi Temple: The Mahalaxmi Temple at Honor Oak Park, London, presided over by Sri Bankim Gossai, recipient of the honor of "Order of British Empire" welcomed with love Baba Shuddhaanandaa and devotees from Trinidad who built the temple, listened with rapt attention his nectarine words of wisdom. This is Baba's second visit to this Holy Shrine dedicated to Laxmi Narayana and other Deities of Hindu Faith. Baba said, It's all in the mind, happiness or unhappiness these are nothing but states of mind, and it is very much up to us as to what kind of mindset we create, for we only reap the consequences of our actions and thoughts in our life. The simple art of spirituality is, to grow in consciousness, so that you are conscious of your thoughts and actions and you take complete responsibility to set right your attitude to life and always be positive and faithful to the divine. He exhorted the devotees to be cautious about their thoughts and actions for they can create either bondage for them, or can lead them toward ultimate freedom. He said, there is no greater help than Self Help. it's only when we resolve to improve our life, by following the path of truth and love, forgiveness and tolerance, patience and perseverance, that we see the flowering of the seed of divinity that we all carry in our hearts. The audience was virtually mesmerized during the course of one and a half hours of Baba's lecture. Paying rich tributes to Baba's tireless work with the poor and underprivileged on the streets of Calcutta and in the remote villages of Sunderbans, Gossai ji, said, Baba Shuddhaanandaa personifies the teachings that so effortlessly flow from his mouth, which brings to life the holiest of the Hindu Scriptures in the language of the the modern times of rationality and practicality. He only wished, with all the other the devotees present at the Temple, that Baba should return to this Temple very soon for a series of lectures on practical spirituality for not less than seven days.

Gossai ji honors baba: Bankim Gossaiji, on behalf of all the devotees of Mahalaxmi Temple, honors Baba Shuddhaanandaa with a beautiful scarf as a sign of respect. Baba accepts it bowing with reverence.

Bageshwar Himalayas: standing on the terrace of Baba Lokenath Temple at Bageshwar, overlooking the picturesque snow capped mountains of Himalayas, Baba Shuddhaanandaa is inviting one and all to visit this wonderful heaven on earth.

Baba at Greenwich : Sri Shuddhaanandaa addressed the gathering at the Greenwich Temple in London on 2nd July 2011, where he spoke to devotees belonging to one of the oldest Hindu Temples of UK, on the Simple Path of finding peace and happiness in life. He led the group in to a silent meditation and also discussed at length about the simple things that every individual needs to keep in mind in order to first manage his/her own mind before one steps out to manage the minds of others. He said, happiness is not something that you can get by demanding it from others, but by sharing your inner sense of contentment in life with others first. Give before you ask, is the motto one should follow in life to see the beauty and beatitude that life offers, he said. The President of the Temple, Dr. Madhu Baksh, introduced Baba to the audience with the words, that with due respect to all the Swamis and Mahatmas, this simple saintly person brings to us a message which is fresh and new, practical and scientific. He indeed is a Saint with a difference. She promised to all the devotees, that next year when Baba comes back to London, she with the help of all others, organize a very big gathering at the most prestigious auditorium in London so that many youth and true seekers can listen to his practical approach to religion that transcends all dogmas, and sectarianism.
