Services

Shree Sangama from the day it started has contributed to few charities. The following are the details.

1.SWAMI VIVEKANANDA TRUST (pavagada Branch):

This is run by 'Swami Japananda ji' who is a saintly figure. He has devoted his life to serve less blessed people on this earth. The main purpose of opening this centre was to help the rural people who could not afford to go to hospitals to cure the CATARACT.Many doctors Volunteered to conduct this operation .Thousands and thousands of people have been able to see the world again because of this great service. If not for Swamiji this would not have been possible. Under his leadership a centre for curing leprocy has also been opened.
Today the institution has grown to the extent that it can provide maternity services in addition to the above mentioned.To know more about SWAMI VIVEKANANDA TRUST Clickhere

Shree Sangama has contributed to the service and activities of the above trust. Shree Sangama is proud to mention Dr.Setty's name in this context. Dr. Setty has been there personally and has given proffessional services to the needy in the centre as well as outside the centre.He has also donated and raised for the cause. this is enough to inspire those who are interested in forming similar groups with similar aims.
2.ISCON CENTRE-BANGALORE:
Shree Sangama has donated to ISCON for giving packed lunch to school children who are not so fortunate to have a good meal. I am sure every body agrees that this is an excellent charitable work. Click here to Know more about iscon

Aims and Objects

Soon after the birth of 'Shree Sangama' we had to establish our aim of coming together.This was more difficult than forming the association. Every one was full of ideas and suggestions.Our enthusiasm was boundless. But still it took quite a long time to get a clear picture of what we were after.After series of talks we decided the following as our aims amd objectives.

Aims :
1. To support deserving and genuine charities and Trusts .

To achieve the above aim, it was decided that each family should contribute a regular amount of money per month. this money will be contributed in the meetings . One of us will take care of the money and give it when once we decide to which charity the money should go.
No matter whether any body for any reason could attend the meating or not but the contribution should be made.

2. To support and standby each other.
a.It was decided that the commintment of Shree Sangama members is to help and enjoy at any function held in co-member's house. And most of all to be with each other in need whatever it may be.
b.It was discussed and agreed by all the members that they should be open hearted with each other. No formalities. No mis -understandings. any problem to be sorted there and then. This would help all the members to feel free and express their opinions about any matter in discussion, whether it is charity to be decided or it is place of visit etc.............

Obejctives:

To have bi-monthly meeting in a member's house regularly on a rota basis

This was arranged not only to keep in touch with each other but also to make sure the aims are being achieved. And of course a very good NOSH! It is also a good break for ladies especially house wives.


To arrange holidays , day trips and piligrimage.

One more objective of Shree Sangama is to arrange frequent holidays, Day trips and piligrimage.


To arrange evening outs & dinners.
the third important objective is to arrange evning outs and dinners .This would help the members to keep in touch with each others.

Birth

It is taking you back to around October 2003. I remember very well ,it was then when we had a pooja in our house. we had invited our close friends Mrs & Dr. Devkumar, Mrs & Dr. Setty, Mrs & Mr Shrinidhi. Pooja went very well , and it is time for lunch. And as all of you know it is at this time all the discussions come into place. From " katie's kitchen to king Edward "!. In the middle of these conversations Dr .Setty was explaining one of his experiences . He had been with a group to somewhere in Europe.He said that the trip was organised by a group of families who regularly come together and have a social gathering. The way he explained inspired others in the group including myself . Murthy my husband immediatly suggested that it would be nice to have our own group. The discussions now took a new turn. Each one of us had different suggestions, finally we decided that we should also form a group. with the same dream and thoughts they all went home . Myself and Murthy were really serious about this and so our friends.we were gearing towards the formation of a group.
with in two days we met again and decided that we should go ahead with our decision.We succeeded in bringing two more families that is Mrs & Mr Nagaraj and Dr(Mrs) & Dr Ayyangaar.
We all assembeled in Mr.Shrindi's house in December 2003. After quite a long discussion we decided to name our association . Thus came into existence our 'SHREE SANGAMA' .All of us raised our glasses to cheer the birth of our group.
