We are heartily grateful to you all for sparing time from your very busy schedule and gracing the occasion of the "Inauguration of Jeevan Prabhat Complex". Your presence has given us new confidence because now we are sure that with people like you behind us we will be able to scale new heights and achieve the goals we have set. We thank you for coming in person and blessing the children. We are also thankful to those who could not attend the function but sent us their best wishes. The “Jeevan Prabhat Inauguration Mahotsav” was held from 14th to 20th December 2009. During the first four days i.e. from 14th to 17th we had Samveda Parayan Mahayajya which was performed by Achraya Nandita ji and her brahmcharinis from Panini Kanya Gurukul Varanasi. The atmosphere during these four days was full of vibrations of the chanting of the Veda mantras. Achraya Nandita ji explained the meanings of the mantras in such a beautiful but still simple language so that all the people could grasp the meaning in make it a part of their daily life. After four days of listing to Veda Mantras and bhajans from 18th the festivities of the Inaugural function began. The complex was decorated with beautiful lighting and it felt as if Diwali had come for the second time this year. We had more than 800 guests most of whom were accommodated in the Jeevan Prabhat Complex itself. The day used to begin with Havan and then a conference by learned scholars and saints. On the evening of 18th a grand procession was taken out from Jeevan Prabhat and it went round the town and culminated into a large gathering right in the centre of the town. This gathering was addressed by many scholars and saints. On the 19th we had two conferences and then in the evening it was the turn of the children of Jeevan Prabhat to show to the audience that they are in no way behind the other city children. They presented a very beautiful and enchanting three hour cultural program which left the audience spellbound. The applause was spontaneous and never ending. Then the historical day arrived. On the morning of the 20 the Complex of Jeevan Prabhat was formely dedicated to the children by Smt. Sarla Prakash wife of Dr. VInod Prakash (President IDRF USA) in presence of Shri Devinder Mahajan (President Arya Pratinidhi Sabha America) and Smt.

The program was conducted by Brig. Chitranjan Sawant ji. The President of Arya Samaj Gandhidham welcomed all the guests and then Hon.Gen.Secretary Shri Vachonidhi Arya gave a detailed account of the Jeevan Prabhat Complex. Also an announcement was made for the setting up of a VOCATIONAL TRAINING CENTRE at a cost of Rs. 50 Crores for these and other needy children. Two brilliant students of Jeevan Prabhat JIgna and Rajesh were felicited during this function for their academic acheivements. All the guests and dignitaries lauded Arya Samaj Gandhidham and promised their whole hearted support in all future activities and in the making of the lives of the children of Jeevan Prabhat. Some excerpts for the Dignitaries Speeches...
Smt. Sarla Prakash... We NRIs learn a lot from the natural calamities and these type of projects.
Dr. Vinod Prakash.... NRIs are the highest Annual Income Sector in USA. I Promise all possible help for the Vocational Training Centre. If you are in US and donate for Jeevan Prabhat or the Vocational Training Centre through IDRF then you will get US tax rebate and also we will double the amount and send it to Arya Samaj Gandhidham. Shri Dev Mahajan..... The VIbrations inside the Jeevan Prabhat premises are so powerful that they inspire us to contribute more and more. I think we should start an internship program for the younger generation of Indian in US who can come and get in touch with our culture in Jeevan Prabhat. Shri Murugappan..... IFFCO being a Co-operative unit we have our own restrictions but still we will continue to help the children.
Shri Girish Khosla.... The children are growing up and will bring tears in our eyes when the first child gives his first salary to Vachonidhi or when the first daughter gets married. |
