Note From President Vineet Bhatnagar

Take heart

THERE IS CHAOS, MISERY AND INJUSTICE BECAUSE SO OFTEN WE LET IT BE SO … LET US STEP UP.

But how does one bring about change(s) that are of an order of magnitude that an individual cannot even fathom where to start ? It is this assessment of inadequacy that makes many of us let things be the way they are today or how they were in the past.

I have felt that one kills a bit of oneself every time one is faced with such a feeling of inadequacy. How does one
become worthy of being spared from such a feeling of helplessness and individual limitation?

Sewa – the Hindi word for service has always brought a great deal of reconciliation to many of us. It is a response
from an individual to overcome the feeling of helplessness. To find an answer to the misery that is unfathomable.

Serving others, as all of us have realised, leaves us with a feeling that compensates for the inadequacy of having no answers to the complexities that we see around us. In serving others, we step up and find relevance as a microcosm.
