SHAISHAV (FOR INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHILD)

"SHAISHAV" , an educational shelter for the child was established on 16th September, 2013 to provide prevalent best education to such rural Adivasi children who were not getting right kind of facilities for proper studies. Year 2013 had the distinction of completing 50 years work of the spreading of All Giver Agnihotra practice, propounded and initiated by Shri Madhavji Potdar, known to all as “Sahab”. On this planet this era’s first Agnihotra was started on “Sahab’s” behest on 22nd Feb, 1963. Now it is being practiced all over the world as preached and instructed by “Sahab”. So, 2013 was its golden jubilee year. Inspired to do something worthy and unique in this eventful year Madhavashram conceived and launched this project of “Shaishav”. To begin with Shaishav has started with 23 childern. The age of the childrens admitted ranges from 6 to 12 years. We intend to take this figure up to 50 children . The programme has started in two rooms and a hall of a small building “Sankalp” in the Ashram’s complex. It is the responsibility of “Shaishav” to take good care of all the children admitted by providing them food, clothes, school uniforms, Tuition fees and bear all such day to day maintenance expenses. Along with school studies it is our effort to train them as best human beings. With a disciplined daily routine, nutritious pure diet and physical exercise they are also provided training to become proficient in various games, yoga, karate etc. It is observed that the IQ of the children has noticeably improved. Their health too has improved.

We intend to do even more for these under-privileged children, like providing them training in useful crafts and cottage industry etc. but this is difficult without monetary help. We have undertaken to educate the children up to 12th standard. After this it will depend upon the children to decide about their future course of action. If they show promise and competence and desire to take up higher studies then “Shaishav” will make possible efforts for them. Your cooperation is solicited for this noble cause. You can join forces with us by undertaking to adopt ONE child (or even more if you so desire)

PANCHRATNA GAUSHALA

Mother-cow is the basic supporting factor of Agnihotra. Without cow Yagnya’s cannot be performed. Knowing this , Mahanubhav Shri Madhavswami had established ‘Pancharatna Goushala’ on 29th September , 1972. The Gaushala started with 10 cows and all of them were of the regional Malwi breed. Resultantly sufficient quantities of cow’s pure-ghee and cow-dung cakes could be made available for performing Agnihotra. “Sahab” named the first cow as ‘Kamdhenu’ The Gaushala functioned very well for the first two years. Thereafter , when difficulties started cropping up suggestions were made to ‘Sahab’ to keep Jersey breed cows but he flatly refused to accept this advice . However, as time passed by Jersey breed cow’s were brought in and the Gaushala functioned with both Desi (local) breed cows and the Jersey ones.

Now it has been decided to work on running the project of rearing only Desi (local) breed cows with complete dedication. Efforts in this direction have already started but still lot of work remains to be done for providing better service to the cow. A cow-pen shed is built and ready. Some arrangements have already been made and few more are yet to be taken care of.

If you are interested in the work of rearing of the cow and have feeling of love and devotion towards them then you can participate in this project by contributing to provide feed for the cows. At present there are 21 cows in this Gaushala.

One cow’s monthly maintenance expenses : 1500/-
One cow’s annual maintenance expenses 10,000/-
Gaushala’s one day expense for grass feed 20,000/-
One cow’s lifetime feeding expenses 20,000/-
If you desire to give one cow as Daan 35,000/-
A modern systematically built cow-pen shed for 20 cow’s 20,000,000/-

Apart from the above you can contribute whatever you feel right. If you desire to send the donation amount by Cheque or Demand Draft you may send to "Yugpravartak Shri Madhavswami Goseva Samiti"

Thanking You...
