Sri Swami Vishwananda - SEVA SOCIETY KENYA

INTRODUCTION!
We are a group of volunteers based in Nairobi who have formed a Seva society.

‘Our vision is to serve the needy children, aged people and animals. We are here to serve the less fortunate and creating a better environment from them.’
JUST LOVE

We believe that through love and selfless deed we can make a difference and create a life changing moment for the less fortunate.

OUR FOCUS AND COMMITMENTS!
We are committed to serve the less fortunate children by visiting homes in Nairobi and offering them with what we can such as Food, Wheelchairs, and etc. We will endeavor to visit one home every two months.

OUR RECENT SEVA WAS ON 17TH APRIL2011
Swami Vishwananda Seva Society did a seva yesterday at Mama Fauzia’s Childrens home. The home was originally started in 1989 at Majengo Estate opposite Pumwani District Officer’s Office and it re-located to Kasarani/Mwiki village in early 2006.

The founder member Mrs Muthoni Hasan Fauzia Who comes from Vihiga district started the home with 2 children after acquiring some basic training as a social worker at Crescent Medical Aid. She attributes her motivation to start the home to her humble family background where she grew with 16 siblings.
The first child that she started with was 4 months old and today she provides a home to over 32We arrived at the Home at 12 noon and started assisting in cutting of vegetables and preparing the lunch for the children. This was the first time our seva group had visited this children’s home. The home takes care of children from all backgrounds of culture mostly abandon children, children whose parents are suffering from disabilities. Mama Fauzia has ensured to assist the children in the best possible way and in some cases she has managed to arrange for the children to study in States, Turkey etc.

Recently, Mama Fauzia had undergone surgeries and has not been feeling well. Our sincere prayers for her to get well soon.

OUR MOMENTS...

We received donations from Reema Shah. She donated sweets, bread, rice, tomatoes, potatoes, carrots for the entire seva in the name of her daughter Eesha who also came to assist in this seva. On behalf of the seva group, we thank her and her friends to have joined us in this seva and supporting us where possible. GOD BLESS!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO ALL THE SEVA GROUP MEMBERS IN MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN SOMEONE’S LIFE.

OTHER SEVA GROUP UPDATES

OM HEALING STARTS IN KENYA- NAIROBI.

OM Healing is an ancient group healing technique that uses the cosmic vibration of OM for healing humanity and Mother Earth.
We are all needed to make a change, to help turn around the imbalances whether they are in ourselves, our families, our society or our environment. As more and more people join the OM Healing circles around the earth, the healing and sacred energy of OM will naturally embrace, transform and expand our lives and existence as we know it. We heal ourselves and at the same time we perform a great service for our world!
OM Healing helps to heal people and the surrounding on all levels: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.
For thousands of years this sacred method of healing was not accessible to mankind. Now, as we are entering a new period of time, in which more and more people are reawakening to the hidden potentials inside of themselves, OM healing is being brought back to help facilitate this change in humanity.
For more information about OM Healing: www.om-healing.org
Om healing is scheduled every Saturday from 4:00pm to 5 pm. Please contact /email for additional details.

You Raise Me Up

HAPPY EASTER

"Actually, Christ was Love and this form of Christ we don’t picture in Christianity anymore. When you look at an icon or look at a statue of Christ, they look so miserable, but Christ was joy. That’s how people follow His message of Love. Once I asked Him [Christ] whether He was dancing, also. He said “Of course, I was dancing.”

-Sri Swami Vishwananda

When Jesus Christ arose that first "Easter," he forever provided “The Way” for all mankind to be “raised up.” View this inspiring, Shakti-Giving-Video of Josh Groban singing about Jesus in "You Raise Me Up" -- accompanied by a Children’s Choir from Africa:

I am the Good Shepherd; I give up my life for my sheep."

-Master Christ Jesus

YOU RAISE ME UP

"Christ Has Resurrected, Oh, Yes, Let's Praise Him" -Swami Vishwananda

And they were offended by him. But Jesus told them, "A prophet is without honor only in his hometown and in his own home."

You see very well that He came [Christ Jesus], but people were against Him. He came to His own people, who did not recognize Him. It is like it is said: “No one is a prophet in his own land.” It is only afterward that one sees. It is the same with a Master. When you have a Teacher with you, you don’t appreciate it. Nobody appreciates it, then after the Master has passed on, people say: “Oh, how wonderful it would have been if we were there.” But know that whatever is written about a Teacher in his time, it is always good afterward.

Of course everyone wants to be around in that time, but when the Teacher is there, nobody wants to be around, and it is always like that. Afterward, 10 or 20 years after people say, “Oh, how wonderful it would have been if we were there. “ So, this is how the mind of man functions. If you have the chance to be with the Master, take it!

He [Jesus] is calling everyone to resurrect with him and letting the old one, who is inside of you, die and letting the new one resurrect with Him. This is the Resurrection of Christ. Oh, yes, let’s praise Him. He resurrected 2,000 years ago, and even if he had not resurrected, He would still be Christ Himself. But to show the resurrection is possible, to show that God-Realization is possible or your own Realization, He has shown it. He has shown the Way. That is why He said, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Light.

The Passion of Master Christ Jesus - Good Friday

"I am the Good Shepherd; I lay down my life for my sheep."

"Look at the life of Jesus; it is so beautiful. He taught mankind how to transcend the ego into the Divine Self. When you go deeper into the mystery of it, you will see that Krishna has taught the same. He has shown it to mankind. We also have to continuously remind ourselves that we are the children of God. Whenever we have a problem we identify ourselves with the problem and say: "Oh, God has turned his back on us." We don't realize that we have turned our back on ourselves. If we look deeper within by turning our gaze inwardly, we would find the solution for every problem. Everything that you want to know, it's just there."

"Actually, Christ was Love and this form of Christ we don’t picture in Christianity anymore. When you look at an icon or look at a statue of Christ, they look so miserable, but Christ was joy. That’s how people follow His message of Love. Once I asked Him [Christ] whether He was dancing, also. He said “Of course, I was dancing.”

-Sri Swami Vishwananda

“This is my body which is given for you. Every time you eat bread, think of me. This wine is my blood that will be shed to remove the sins of all who come to believe in me and it is the start of a new agreement between God and mankind. Then He took the twelve aside and said to them, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things which are written through the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished. For He will be handed over to the Gentiles, and will be mocked, and mistreated and spit upon, and after they have scourged Him, they will kill Him; and the third day He will rise again.” -Christian Bible
