January 2018

From the Editor's Desk

Hari Om Friend,

Time flies and how. Year 2018 has already arrived and many of us find so many things which we had resolved to complete, still in the pipeline.

Nevertheless, it is always better to be late than never. Our Shraddhavan volunteers are doing a fine job of balancing their profession alongside the devotional services (seva) offered by them from time to time.

Blood Donation is one such noble cause which the volunteers are ever eager to lend their helping hand to. In this issue we shall have an overview of the Blood Donation Camps vis-à-vis statistics of units of blood collected during the year ending December 2017.

I also take this opportunity to wish all my Shraddhavan friends a very Happy New Year enveloped in goodness, wellbeing, positivity and peace.
