Mrs. Padma Tamta seeks financial support for her chemotherapy

-


Dear Friends ,

Mrs. Padma Tamta, aged 45 years has been operated on   16/6/2014 (Bethany Hospital, Thane) as she was diagnosed with breast cancer for mastectomy along with removal of auxiliary nodes, has requested financial contribution from Corporates and individual donors/supports like yourself for her further treatment.

She was able to avail of the Rajiv Gandhi Health Insurance to have the surgery done. But now needs around Rs 1.5 lakhs more. We request you to contact us (9930372436) if you wish to contribute towards the treatment of this helpless lady. 

 You can directly transfer funds to her bank account given below....

 PADMA HARIBHAKTA TAMTA

UNION BANK OF INDIA

BRANCH; 3 PETROL PUMP, THANE WEST
ACCOUNT NUMBER ; 320002010028506

IFC CODE;  UBIN 0532002

Background Information....
The lump was large in size and the biopsy report says that it is 3rd grade cancer. She has now been advised 6 cycles of chemotherapy which will cost approximately Rs. 1,50,000/ and she would require another 50000 for post care and nutrition  amounting to a total of Rs 200000 ( two lakh only)  - She needs to get the first dose this week.

She is a widow as her husband, a truck driver, passed away 8 years ago. Their family hails from Pithorgarh in Uttaranchal and is presently residing in an authorised slum in Ganesh Nagar, in Shivai Nagar, Thane, Maharashtra. After her husband passed away, she started working as a domestic help and was supporting her family of 5 children. She has 3 daughters aged 23, 14 and 13 & 2 sons aged 16 and 9 years. The eldest daughter, Rekha gave up her studies when she didn’t clear her 10th standard exam and joined her mother as a domestic help, to shoulder the responsibility of being the bread earners. They went together and worked in 5 houses earning approximately Rs. 4,000/- per month. All other children are going to school in 3rd, 9th and 11th std. 

Two months ago when Padma felt the lump in her breast, she was terrified that it would be cancer and went into denial and didn’t tell anyone but Rekha. She was afraid that she would die and was worried for her children..... who would look after them?  She in fact though of committing suicide She was counselled by 3 breast cancer survivors that she will be able to get back to work, once she was treated. 

For over a month, both Padma and Rekha aren’t able to get any income home. Rekha had to run to the doctors and the hospital while accompanying her mother. Besides she also had to run the house and look after her siblings as they do not have any relatives in Mumbai/Thane to help and support them. At present they do not have any source of income as they have lost 2 of their jobs and Rekha is able to continue only one small job which brings in a measly income.

We appeal to you, on behalf of Mrs. Padma Tamta to help financially towards her chemotherapy expenses. She and her family will be eternally grateful to you for that. It is with such generous contributions that she will be going for her first chemotherapy dose this week.

Incase you wish to extend the financial support to her, kindly write the cheque in the name of “Padma Tamta”.

If you wish to contribute by fund transfer bia net banking, please contact us -9930372436

Thanking you.
Yours sincerely,

The Difference Between Dharma and Karma

-
Image
In the west, it's common to confuse the terms Dharma with Karma, but they have different meanings. Learning these concepts is the key to understand the eastern thinking. If the universe is intelligent and hierarchically organized, would it be possible for humans to unveil the cosmic rules that control the many facets of human existence? Almost three-thousand years ago (some would even say five-thousand years ago), the verses of The Mahabharata , the longest epic poem ever written, brought revelations about the universal laws, life, death, pain and enlightenment. There are many interpretations of the verses but many traditions and religions share the same terms The key to dig into the beauty of the teachings of ancient India, is to understand two main concepts: dharma and karma. What is Dharma? The dharma is the law that governs the universe and that affects everything in collective and individual levels in order to lead every living being to perfection. It can be understood as

Lord Shiva Unplugged

-
Image
Of all the Hindu Gods none appealed to the emotions of a Hindu mind as much as Lord Shiva, the dweller of the mountains and the bearer of the trident, who with His third eye symbolizes the all knowing awareness of the very Brahman. Although universally acknowledged as one of the trinity gods of Hinduism, to His followers, He is Maheswara, representing the Trinity all by Himself, His different aspects manifesting themselves as the creator, preserver and destroyer of the worlds He creates. Symbolically He is  worshiped  as Lingeswara, which name stands more for His creative prowess than sexual. Historians believe that He was a pre-Vedic god who was admitted into the Vedic Pantheon because of His immense popularity among many non-Aryan tribes. There is a theory that the seated yogi found on the seals of Indus Valley Civilization, was a prototype of Lord Shiva only. References to Him are found in the Rigveda. In the Mahabharata we come across several references to Him. Both
