Date: Nirjala Ekadashi | 📍Location: Vani Vihar & Nearby Areas
As temperatures soared, Yash Sewa Samiti stood by its mission of Seva Parmo Dharma by organizing a cooling refreshment drive and welfare distribution on the sacred occasion of Nirjala Ekadashi. The initiative aimed to provide relief from the intense summer heat to those who labor hard under the sun – rickshaw pullers, daily wagers, and street vendors.
Rooh Afza Water & Milk Shabeel
A community shabeel (refreshment stall) was set up, where cold Rooh Afza water and milk were distributed to passersby, laborers, children, and senior citizens. The refreshing drinks quenched thirst and brought smiles, reminding everyone that compassion is the purest offering.
Towels & Chappals Gifted
To provide much-needed relief to those working barefoot or without shade, 50 rickshaw pullers and daily wage earners were gifted:
- Soft cotton towels to wipe off sweat and stay refreshed
- Comfortable chappals (slippers) to protect their feet from the scorching roads
Each kit was handed over with warmth, respect, and gratitude for their hard work.
Impact of the Nirjala Ekadashi Seva:
- 💧 Hundreds of people were served cool, refreshing drinks through the day.
- 👣 50 daily wagers and rickshaw pullers received essentials for heat protection.
- ❤️ Promoted the value of daan (giving) with dignity on a sacred day.
- 🤝 Strengthened community bonds and inspired onlookers to serve in their own way.
- 🌞 Made a real difference in the lives of those often overlooked during the harsh summer.
💬 Message from Yash Sewa Samiti:
“Sewa is not about how much we give, but the love and intention behind it. Even a glass of water, when given with compassion, becomes divine.”
On this Nirjala Ekadashi, let us remember — one act of kindness can cool down many hearts.
