Eyecamp
We have recently again organized an eye camp in
our Chiliyanoula Ashram. Several enthusiastic messages came to me like Ganga was
explaining me on the phone the of people who did not see anything for years and
their happiness when the bandages were taken of and got their eye sight back
made all the others cry. In the environment around Chiliyanoula with out proper
eye sight you cannot do nothing and are just a burden to the rest of the family.
Also Alok Banerjee told me this : “I was in Ranikhet from 16th to 19th of this month
and Uday also joined me . We were witness to our annual free eye camp where
approx. 500 patients got registered out of which 170 patients were operated for
cataract. It is indeed a sight to see how these people show their gratefulness
once they recover their eyesight. All praise to our Babaji”.
This is your gift of your devotion, the help and donations you have given to
Babaji's charitable hospital. We have experienced some difficult period some
years back with the hospital but would like to make it clear to you that we are
well on track and that many people are highly benefited in Babaji's name.
Imagine well over a thousand people have got their eye sight back since we
started all this.
We are very fortunate with the team of Dr's we have now there. Dr Vijay Upadya
Seel is the Ayurvedic Dr but now also over looking our Charitable hospital with
two strong doctors by his side. Dr Askh Dubey and Dr Lalit Mohan. The unique
thing about these Doctors is that they have not come to live in this remote area
to live out of their love for Babaji as they were hired as physicians to do a
job. Both of them are motivated to relieve the suffering of the common people in
the poor mountain area where our Ashrams are located. From their own interest
they are also spending several days in the Herakhan hospital as in that area it
is more difficult to find medical help there. A great blessing for all concerned.
On my last visit we discussed what we can do to help. Our well functioning eye
clinic needs glasses for instance. Hundreds of them. Here in the west we throw
them away after a person is deceased just to change model. Let us all ask around
at places concerned if we can collect glasses. A second life for an old and
useless thing and people there are not so concerned with the model but cannot
afford much at all. This is just a little effort on our behalf but such great
effect on the other hand.
Also Medicines. Years ago some doctors and pharmacists from the west brought
medicines which were given free by medical companies, for publicity, over
production, over stock and when they get close to the date of expiry. This has
become very seldom and we would like to inspire you to do the same again.
Particularly Multivitamins, painkillers, antibiotics, eye medicine, anaesthetic
sprays. For a more detailed list I have in the attachment for you. Many people
have it in their heart to help and there for I am asking you to ask others in
your life to help with this. Mind you I am not proposing to buy medicines! At
that point we better buy them in India. Just what we can collect as gifts in the
world around us.
And then last but not least that we need to ask you for financial help. Not just
for your money which of course if you have to spare is very welcome but also for
sustainable ideas which will last in time and come in on a regular bases.
We have a great team of Doctors, I have not even mentioned them all to you, we
have Munnaji overlooking all activities in Chiliyanoula, and a larger group who
are very determined to make the hospital work well. With your help we can do
more and better and make this beautiful but difficult area a better place to
life in, in Babaji's name.
Make some publicity around in your own work, family and surroundings, print it
in your newsletters, forward this message put it on web sites and where ever you
may think it work well so we can continue and enlarge to truly make a difference
in the life of poor people who live in the hillside in India.
