We've been tirelessly fortifying our focus on children and their rights. If every child in this world gets education, nutrition and health, he/she will grow to become a great citizen/human being and can change the humanity for good. SNEH envisions the heaven on earth if we all work together for this mission leaving behind our personal priorities. To have empathy and love towards fellow human being is the key to make this world a better place to live on. So let’s join hands to work towards this goal. Join SNEH today to work for this common cause. Social service is the way to pay back to the society. I spend every weekend to rescue someone from illiteracy and poverty rather than sitting and cribbing about petty issues. If someone stronger breaks the chains and start looking beyond, we can end the world’s misery in a flash of a second. The best part of serving the humanity is it does not require any illustrative qualification, but only a loving heart. People from diverse back grounds can work together and be a part of the CHANGE. “Communication & Commitment are the keys of success”. This year we tried to work on the areas of development that are vital for living in the 21st century. Those are- Education, solid nutrition and Health. In the coming years, we plan to have services under all three areas, under one roof. As partners, you have been an integral part of what we have achieved today. Its because of supporters and contributors like you that we have come so far.

SNEH Foundation was a result of his Dr. Pankaj Bohra experiences while helping the underprivileged community in his SNEH–Solid Nutrition, Health and Education for All professional endeavors. Dear Reader, Thanks for looking at our annual report. Our Annual report talks about ‘what we do’, but here is ‘what we believe’. SNEH Foundation believes in sustainable solutions to issues pertaining to Education, Health and Nutrition among the most marginalized population. We do not want to be an organization that seldom empathizes with people’s problems and just works on temporary issues with mere interim results to show the world a pool of extravagant statistics of success stories. SNEH strives to dig out From CEO’s desk the deep rooted causes of people’s problems, and offer them long- lasting solutions. We believe that feeding people for free or distributing materialistic assets to needy people doesn’t encounter the basic quest. However, educating people to earn what they need, providing equal opportunities and knowledge to the so called ‘Underprivileged’ population, linking the Government facilities to the most needy beneficiaries, and making people aware about them is something that will surely be sustainable and a permanent solution As a part of SNEH Foundation, I truly believe that, the success of the to poverty, illiteracy, illnesses etc. Through our array of initiatives, organization and a true sense of being a difference to make the change we strive to educate people about Health, Education and Nutrition rests in cognizant and committed impulse and urge by honest group of with a touch of empathy and compassion so that they do not depend individuals; and having said that, we are lucky to have an extremely on anyone unless its an emergency or requirement of funds. dedicated team of employees, donors and volunteers who are making a difference instead of cribbing about the problems of our nation. Come, Join us and experience what is it to be a SNEHi !!

  • Place of Mahaparayan Maha-Recital of Shri-Sai Satcharita at Mumbai It Is Fascinating to Observe the Growth of Certain Places
    Place of Mahaparayan Maha-recital of Shri-Sai Satcharita at Mumbai It is fascinating to observe the growth of certain places that has an immense significance for the Sai-Devotees, today. The land on which Samadhi Mandirat Shirdi stands, was once upon a time a cactus jungle and was used as a dumping ground. Similarly the location in Mumbai where Maha Recital of Shri - Sai Satcharita was organized recently, was also created out of a dump yard. Thanks to numerous selfless and hard working Sai-Devotees. The triangular piece of land near Canara Bank at Bandra-Kurla Complex in Mumbai was nothing but a thick jungle with marshy land when Sai Sansthan Managing Committee had visited it some years ago. The unhygienic environment filled with a foul smell was an assault on one senses and sensibilities. However in due course of time under the expert guidance of Shri Nitin Desai, a renowned art-director from Indian Film industry, the dark dungeon was transformed into a divine den .Parayandarshan and refreshment pavilions were erected. A special tent was set up for reciter's residence. Huge idols of god- goddesses were installed on the wooden platforms . Finally on 15th December the 'Parayandham' was ready to welcome all .By observing this one can not but agree with the adage that something good originates from ashes and rough stones give birth to a beautiful sculpture. Thus this place like Lendibaug in Shirdi provided bread and butter to many. The main gate reminding one about the glory of ancient palaces of India. Two statues of elephants that almost looked real , welcomed the visitors.

  • Lord Krishna-The Jagat Guru
    [Draw your reader in with an engaging abstract. It is typically a short summary of the document. When you’re ready to add your content, just click here and start typing.] Lord Krishna- the Jagat Guru K Sriram Sri Ramana Bhaktha Samajam Chennai Lord Krishna– The Jagat Guru [Loka Maha Guru] Devaki Paramanandam Vasudeva sudam Devam Kamsa Chanoora MardanamI Devaki Paramanandam Sri krishnam vande Jagat GurumII The One who was born to Vasudeva, the One who annihilated Kamsa & Chanoora, the One whose very name plunges his mother Devaki into ecstacy, To Him, the Loka Maha Guru, Lord Krishna, I pay my humble obeisance. Page 1 of 9 Introduction It is surprising to note that Lord Krishna’s life represents the average person of today. Brought up in a lower middle class family, the small boy spends his entire time in his studies under very trying circumstances. Higher studies take him to the cities and even overseas. His circumstances change totally when he converts his Knowledge into Experience. Experience takes him to corridors of Power which, again, lands him in a completely different atmosphere. His later days don’t even remotely resemble his childhood days. He could hardly return to his native village which was his dwelling place as a child. Finally, he leaves the world as a loner in yet another totally different atmosphere. Lord Krishna’s life exactly corresponds to such a life of an average person today in spite of the fact that 5000 years have elapsed since his appearance on this planet. He was brought up in a cowherd’s family as a child.
