Kerala – All for one!




Kerala – All for one!



India has united like never before for Kerala. It’s time like these that gives hope in the humanity. It speaks volumes about the way people relate with the pain and suffering of their unseen and unmet brothers of India. This goes to prove how we all are connected by one thread of love and brotherhood.

Pockets like Kerala, seven northern sisters and such places of India which are lungs of India what with their vast green cover.  We owe it to them for all these benefits we have been receiving from them for all these years. And not to speak of unforgettable trip to Kerala (by those who had been there at least once in their life-time!) and the peace that this place blessed us with! We owe it to them for those memories.

Social sites and media are working creatively to stand up with Kerala in this crisis time and I don’t need to talk about ‘what to give’ and ‘send’ again. The list is already known to all!

But, I would suggest instead of randomly sending items, pool the resources of your group and get in touch with ‘the Keralite’ (one in every group will certainly have one Keralite friend) and when I say Keralite it applies to every native of Kerala – not just a Malayali – remember that. This is reaching a human as a human act ONLY! Ask him/her to check the requirements from their people and send the needed items accordingly – especially through this known contact. This way the goods get surely to the persons who need it and in the required quantity. This way you can be sure of at least one colony/area’s needs being fulfilled and trust me that is a great feeling.

Next, help doesn’t end by sending these items now. The work has to be done for at least next 3-4 months. Whatever is the skill you have, you can use it to give free services to those people by going there and working as a volunteer. Or use your skill to raise money and put it to good use.

Try to find people who have lost their livelihood – especially the daily wage labourers and give them their tools so that they can stand on their feet as soon as possible. Construction workers, tailors (sewing machines), road side tea stalls or tiffin centres – their start up requirements is usually just couple of thousands. You can reach atleast to few of them (as a group) and that way you would’ve saved a family and fed a family. Just think about it!

Instead of feeding a man with fish daily, teach him to fish and you’ve made a man out of him!

Apart from material supplies and support as Reiki channels send reiki daily for next 6mths atleast for them to get strength to face this calamity! Pray for them. Ask group who are not reiki channels to sit and pray for them. Let them chant for their well being!

Your reiki can save them from the diseases that can sicken them thanks to flood waters and all! This will help them to heal their trauma easily. They will come out as stronger persons. The help that they require will reach in time and in required amount various are the benefits of healing Kerala. Don’t lost this wonderful opportunity to open your hearts and pockets to reach out to those who are more in need of them than you and me.

United we stand and let’s show ourselves and the world that we capable of facing and overcoming such unforeseen calamities. Let’s prove to ourselves how wonderful as Indians we are!

Proud to be an Indian!

Proud to be human!
