This is true religion true Indianess

The below mentioned article as reported in Hindu Newspaper stands testimony to the whole world that :


This is our Indian Spirituality at work. This is the real worship to GOD. Thank you Gayartri Parivar

I am reproducing this article from Hindu : 


RAMANATHAPURAM: It was indeed a model of selfless clean project, involving many octogenarians, septuagenarians, women and professionals who travelled several hundred kilometres from different parts of India to Rameswaram. A group of north Indian volunteers have spruced up the Southern shrine with sheer hardwork

Staying in two hotels, which offered rent free accommodation for a noble cause, the 500-plus volunteers from All World Gayatri Parivar, Haridwar, enjoy each and every moment from dawn to dusk in beautifying Rameswaram, which attracts thousands of tourists and devotees daily from different corners of the country.

Though the five-day programme has reached the half way mark on Friday, the town, agnitheertham shore and the premises of Sri Ramanathaswamy temple, which earlier looked unclean and muddy, suggest that their work is dedicated service.

Though the “Clean and Green Rameswaram” project, which is being taken by the AWGP as part of centenary celebration of its founder Sri Ram Sharma Acharya, was initially intended to clean the highly polluted Agnitheertham, the organisers extended the area of operation upto Bus Stand and in and outside the temple premises. Besides the logistic support to the ambitious drive, the Rotary Club of Rameswaram has coordinated the project. During the last 3 days, the volunteers cleared more than 75 trucks of garbage, abandoned cloths by pilgrims, polythene bags, food packets, human waste and others. Besides several tonnes of mud accumulated in and around corridors and holy theerthams, the volunteers also cleaned the layers of dust around the pillars of third corridor, one of the longest corridors in the world.

“Cleanliness is the need of the hour. We feel it is a great way of worshipping. The aim is not only to clean the holy town but also to create a positive mindset among the stakeholders,” says Dr. Brij Mohan Gaur, in-charge, South India, AWGP.

K.P. Dubey, in-charge, Youth Movement, said 25 engineers, 20 IT professionals and 8 doctors were among the volunteers involved. It had been planned to form a construct pathway, a toilet complex and install 100 dust bins in Rameswaram.

A permanent maintenance plan would be handed over to the Collector at the end of the project. R. Saravanan, President, Rotary Club, and A. Shanmuga Rajeswaran, former President, Rotary Club of Ramnad, said it was a model of service project and their relentless work would be remembered by the people of Rameswaram for long.

My only request to the residents and visitors to Rameshwaram, now that you have been shown HOW to keep your environment clean, make sure that is maintained.  Let there not be another such project to show that Cleanliness is Godliness
