In the presence of Pujya Acharya Shri Chandanaji Maharaj, the Chief Guest Dr. Prakash Sharan Mahat, the Foreign Minister of Nepal, inaugurated a non-profit NGO Veerayatan Nepal on 20 May
2017. Established with the three-fold objectives of seva, shiksha and sadhna, the NGO is affiliated with Veerayatan International.
The welcome address was given by Shri Bachraj Tated, the President of Veerayatan Nepal, followed by a speech by General Secretary Shri Vinod Sethia about Veerayatan’s much acclaimed philanthropic activities going on worldwide for the past 46 years. The earthquake-affected children presented the song ‘
Man Ka Manav’ while one student, Manoj, recited the shlokas of the
Tattvarth Sutra and Sabin, another student, delivered a moving speech which brought tears to everyone’s eyes. These children have been supported by Veerayatan INGO (International Non-Governmental Organisation) and a permanent structure has now been planned by Veerayatan Nepal to support hundreds of such children. The programme continued with the heart rending speech of Sadhvi Shri Shilapiji, under the guidance of whom the organisation is planning to transform the lives of deprived children with the highest standards of value-based education without discrimination as to caste, race, religion, gender or otherwise.
The Chief Guest Dr. Mahat praised the activities of Veerayatan International and was overwhelmed by the skills presented by the earthquake-affected children of Veerayatan Nepal. The programme concluded with the blessings of Acharya Shriji. The function was graced with the presence of Pujya Shri Manibhadraji Maharaj and Shramni Nideshika Charitra Pragyaji. Attended by prominent citizens, the programme was managed by Mr. K.N. Modi as patron and sponsored by Shri Radheshyam Saraf, Chairman of Hotel Yak & Yeti.
