SUCCESSES OF SHATAN ASHRAM IN THE PERIOD OF NATIONAL DISASTER.

OVERVIEW OF EVENTS HELD IN SHATAN ASHRAM DURING THE TIGHT MONTHS OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.

At the busiest time, RGS Gurukulam provided distance and online education for the school’s students. A Sanskrit course has begun, organized by the chairman of the Sri Devrita Foundation of Delhi, Acharya Vikash. Also, other experienced teachers from different countries conduct online classes with children. Local television noted the effectiveness of the actions of the school administration and made a report from the scene.

Also guru Swami Atmananda Puri, with the help of a team of children and ashram workers, began distributing food packages to the disciples’ families. But since the country is in a difficult situation and people have lost their jobs, in the end this undertaking has grown into a large humanitarian project. Up to 500 families a day receive a full package with the necessary provisions for the week. Moreover, the products are packed in bags with the ashram’s corporate logo.

The guru himself said it this way: “The Shatan Ashram team, those who worked during the 2 months of the COVID-19 blocking period, were engaged in marketing, food packaging, registering people in need, supplying food from the store, disinfecting, helping the elderly to put on masks etc. We are so proud to have these warriors with us. I am pleased with this team, because if after a while I leave this life, then our work to help people will continue.

It is worth repeating that the volunteer team consisted of children living at the ashram and several workers. This selfless service to ordinary people during the period of national disaster, once again attracted the attention of the press and the public. There were several publications in newspapers and a television report.

Jharkhand State awarded Gurukula and Shatan Ashram with the Covid Warriors Certificate of Honor. The main teacher of the school also received an award for online learning. This is a great success for the gurukulam.

”JVNL Jarkhand” – an electric power company, for these merits presented the Ashram with its own transformer, the installation of which has already been completed.

Mr. Arun Sharma and Ishaan Sharma sponsored the installation of solar panels. Now the Ashram has its own electricity, its own Wi-Fi, a computer lab, laptops and a TV screen for online classes .

Finishing of the new high school building is also coming to an end. Now Gurukula will educate twice more students – the building will accommodate another 200 children. Modern washrooms and showers have been installed.

One of the best students of Gurukula Gunri, who dreams of becoming a journalist, conducted her own research on Covid-19 and recorded a video message in English and Hindi.

During the same period, the Red Cross Society jointly distributed a homeopathic medicine to prevent the corona virus. The RGS Gurukulam platform was used as a platform to distribute this medicinal product in this region.

Many friends of the ashram from different countries rendered their all possible help.

All this time, daily pooja and havana continued to be performed at the Ashram temple. The Guru Purnima festival was held in the new school building, and the chariot festival was held on the territory of the Ashram.
