Donate Freely to SASTA- A noble cause!
It is with great pride, pleasure and hope that we are seeking funds for SASTA. Your support and help thus far have immensely contributed to the recognition of SASTA amidst many Ayyappa devotees. Our monthly pooja is always well attended and through the pooja, frequent articles, Ayyappa Vision, our annual souvenir, our book publications the community is beginning to understand the sacred message of Sri Dharma Sastha Ayyappa Swami.
Whatever the circumstances may be, we request you all to preserve and foster the eternal values of Sathya (Truth), Ahimsa (Non-violence), Dharma ( Right conduct) and Loka-Kalyana (universal happiness). We can be proud that the Hindu practice of tithe, the game of Chess, and Yoga and Meditation, are being adopted almost universally now.
Every religious group fervently promotes their cause. So it behooves us to propagate the principles of Hinduism, the most tolerant of all religions. One way to do that is to continue to attend the monthly Sastha Pooja with your family and friends. After awhile, the initial enthusiasm tends to wane off resulting in slackening of efforts, so we must be cautious. SASTA needs a continuous infusion of energy, encouragement and support.
Our children are the most treasured investments we have. They should be given proper education and guidance in a timely manner and they should be groomed in the Hindu ways. This will help them to establish their identity and give them the much needed self confidence and feeling of security.
In short, we Hindus have the responsibility of taking care of ourselves, our children, and our community. This is where SASTA can help us in a big way. By fostering the principles of SASTA and by supporting its projects, we can impart the spiritual guidance and moral values to our youngsters while reaffirming the same among the rest of us. This is of paramount importance in these days of global conflicts and economic turbulence. SASTA can help individuals, families or the community at large in their spiritual journey.
We request every one of you to:
- Become a SASTA member.
- Buy SASTA books in bulk and gift to your friends and relatives (A two way noble act)!!!
- Donate liberally to the cause of construction of Lord Ayyappa Shrine.
- Spread the SASTA consciousness among your friends and relatives.

Jana seva is Janardhana seva, Jeeva seva is Siva seva, Sarva seva is Sastha seva.
Just like the message of SASTA is Tat Tvam Asi, SASTA is an emergence of all of us !
Lord Krishna says in Gita, ?Whatever a devotee gives with sincere devotion and dedication, be it a leaf, flower, fruit or a few drops of water, the blessed Lord accepts those offerings?. |
