Siddha Heartbeat: AVM/TS FAMILY GATHERING 2017

The AVM family and TS gathered for a day of workout and fun at a recreational park close to AVM.

AVM & TS FAMILY DAY

Venue: Taman Rekreasi Alam Damai

Date: 04/06/2017 - 7.00am

The day started with members engaging in energetic movements, drilled by Master Uva, a warrior and martial arts exponent and then moved on to a slower pace at the hands of Master Arunan, a Varma Yoga Master. The masters took us through Pranayamam, Surya Namaskaram, Vibrating Chi Kung, Varma Yoga, and finally a moment of Meditation.

We had a good workout. We intend to have regular sessions to help keep us fit.

Later in the day, members shared their views and they helped chart the course for AVM to move on and diversify its charitable activities. It was decided to:

1. Continue providing groceries to the Vivekananda Shelter in Petaling Jaya and an old folks home at Kampong Sireh Semenyih,

2. Continue to extend a monthly donation towards annadhanam at our parent ashram,

3. Continue to provide a small token to the student pursuing medical studies in Sibu, Sarawak,

4. Continue providing pastries and drinks during the 18 Siddha Jayanthi to the homeless,

5. Provide packed meals once a month to people on the streets,

6. Provide toiletries to street vagabonds,

7. Provide stationery to schools to be distributed to students by their teachers,

8. Provide 3 pairs of eyeglasses a month to school going children.

9. The monthly Varma and Chakra healing session will continue as usual and a regular exercise session similar to the day's event will be held too.

The Siddhas blessed the day with slight rain in the morning that stopped just before the start of the event and provided a canopy of shade and an air of coolness throughout the day.

Just before we packed up for the day, Balamurugan, came along with a wonderful message.
