Why Meera Desikan is fundraising for clean water

This has been a very challenging year. Challenging times have always been a good thing for us. It has helped us revisit ourselves in so many newer, more significant ways. (Always thankful for every single blessing !)

Our dearest Vineet is turning 35 on the 10th of December 2020 ! :) Vineet, he has never been a 'material' enthusiast. He believes in experiences, in truly living ! He works for a firm that enables wholistic wellbeing & meaningful living. His life's mission has always been this - Simpler, meaningful living. A life filled with love & blessings, all of your blessings. He finds so much joy in giving, and why wouldn't he? Aren't we all born to give? For nothing, is really ours & yet we're blessed to have an opportunity to give ?

Can you bless this beautiful soul with a special act? Can you make a donation? (big, small, its okay!) The cause - Water. Water, that we're all made up of, fluid that we all are, everything is... We'd be very grateful.

Want to know more about the cause? Please read on :) And god bless you. Hare Krishna.

______________________________________

Many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty. We have plenty of water to drink -- even the water in our toilets is clean!

But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. Every day, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world.

I started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water build these types of projects around the world, and I'm looking for my dearest friends who can help me.

Please donate to this campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help.

100% of the money will be used to build clean water projects, and when they’re complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.

    Wishing you a very Happy Birthday and my best wishes coming your way.. always..
    Keep smiling & stay blessed.

    Hey Munmun
    So this is 35th....There are times when you have loads to speak but words fail, hearts are overwhelmed but expressions betray...One such occasion is this. I have a very vivid memory of the day when you were born, Mumma ran to Baba's clinic to announce that its a baby boy in the family and it was her birthday as well....And today it's the 35th...You are indeed the finest and purest one amongst us, one who knows his priority, one who knows how to be responsible, one who has always been so sensible, one who is always patient to listen, observe and absorb. You have always made judicious choices because your spectrum of the family is very extensive. Well personally I owe you a lot dear...You have been the only one with whom I could have entrusted my little one and I did it. That was not my right and your duty, but it was the bond of unshakable faith and trust that both of us did it unthinkably. And on a lighter note I am only Maa but you are Maa-Maa, so double of it. And I am so proud of you that you chose Meera who further strengthened our understanding and love. I will not say thank you but you know what it means to me.
    And yes I have always been too old to fight with you, so it's only love n affection that bind us.
    On this day I only pray that Almighty may grant you an enormous heart, a satisfied soul and a peaceful life which is brimming with love, prosperity , luck and good health. Keep spreading contagious smiles and infinite happiness...
