Mangalya 2009 - Social Marriage in the Divine presence of Gurudev

Jai Gurudev


His Holiness Sri Sri Ravishankar will be a land mark in the history of the Art Of Living generation, a miracle which is going to happen in the city of Kollam, God's Own Country - Kerala, a little state in India, during February 2009 [more details], in connection with the celebration of Maha Shivrathri. Out of which, Social Marriage for eligible couples selected from weaker sections of the society will be the major event in the Divine presence of Poojya Sri Sri Ravishankar. The Art Of Living in Kollam is on a move for this major seva project and all the Art Of Living family  has warmly welcomed this programme with a lot of good wishes and moral support right from the beginning and at all times.

Opportunity for Seva who wishes to avail the participation in this major project of Social Marriage is in front of you and within your hands. The only thing you have to do is stretch your hand, open your palm and extend moral support by donating a contribution to the maximum number of couples within your financial limits either jointly or of your own. An estimated expenditure of USD 2500 per couple is required since they are gifted with the least possible of gold ornaments, cash assistance, wedding costumes and food.


We hope you will consider this as an intimate note who seeks the sincere blessings of His Holiness Sri Sri Ravisankar since all the time he used to spend most of his ideology in bringing up the attitude of Care and share which is the greatest seva of a human being. Your desired contribution may be remitted at the earliest to the following contact. 52 couples are already registered and hence this will be a huge financial commitment on the part of AOL Family, organisers and well wishers and hence this request.

 

All donations to be made to the following account

Account Name : Guruji @ Kollam 2009
Account No : 67016767236
