CORD: Celebrating 25 Years

Hari OM !!

Guided by Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayanandaji’s spiritual and philanthropic inspiration, Dr Kshama Metre – “Doctor Didi” has dedicated her past 25 years in service of CORD. Let us continue to support the CORD mission. Each and every “giving” done by CORD supporters has made a huge difference to the lives of rural villages in India. Please check the URL http://www.cordusa.com/CORD_Success_Stories/CORD_Success_Stories.aspx for inspirational changes, which has resulted in the empowerment of many. Please encourage everyone to register for CORD http://bit.ly/cordwalk and utilize this opportunity of responsibility towards the larger society, “Our” society.

Please reflect on the teachings below and share the message of “giving” in our Balavihars, to our family and friends and help make CORD walk-a-thon and the program a Grand Success!!

  • The Taittiriya Upanisad says: “Srddhaya deyam, Asraddhaya'deyam, Sriya deyam, Hriya deyam, Bhiya Deyam, Samvida deyam - “Give with faith. Do not give without faith. It should be given in plenty, with modesty, with sympathy, with sensitivity. Give with a feeling of abundance. Give with right understanding”

  • Lord Sri Krishna in Bhagavad Geeta taught us ”That gift which is given, knowing it to be a duty, in a fit time and place, to a worthy person (or cause), from whom we expect nothing in return, is held to be Sattwic”

  • Our great Saint Kabir sang “Mutti Bandhe Aye Jagat Me Haath Phasare Jaage Bhai” - “You came into this world with fists closed and you go away with open palms. So even while living stretch your hand open and give liberally.”
