Hari Om Friend,

"In the month of May, Shraddhavans wholeheartedly embraced a golden opportunity to unite in the powerful collective chanting of the Shree Hanuman Chalisa, filling the atmosphere with divine vibrations. Beyond spiritual upliftment, many extended their hands in selfless service - crafting seed balls, planting greenery, and actively participating in the transformative Mokhada Medical and Healthcare Camp. Each moment became a step toward inner growth and meaningful contribution to society."
