As part of Dr Pillai (Baba)’s Million Meals of HoPE Project, we visited Willing Hearts (a registered charity in Singapore) on 25 August 2013 for our1st everDr Pillai (Baba) community get together to feed the less fortunate in Singapore.
.
We had also earlier bought food supplies for Willing Hearts with generous donations from our community members.
.
I didn’t expect a simple act of cutting and preparing vegetables could have been such a emotionally uplifting yet a spiritually fulfilling one.
.
We came together to make a difference in some peoples’ lives but at the same time, the entire experience was a divine one for us- while we peeled potatoes and chopped vegetables, we all silently chantedARUT PERUM JYOTI, the sacred mantra for the LIGHT BODY.
.
Volunteers hard at work – chopping vegetables and doing some frying
.
Not only did this bless the food that we were preparing, but doing so allowed us to experience the grace of ARUL (the Light of the Divine) in our heart and soul.
.
Our youngest volunteers!
(They were sticking food labels on the food containers)
.
We had such a beautiful time on 25 Aug 2013 that I’ve decided to organise our 2nd community get together on 22 September 2013.
.
Once again, we will be going to Willing Hearts, a soup-kitchen that prepares and delivers around 5,000 meals a day to the poor, aged and handicapped.
.
Willing Hearts is staffed by volunteers who help cook the food, pack it and deliver it to the less fortunate. No cooking knowledge or experience is need – all you need is love and a desire to help the less privileged.
.
My goal remains that we will visit Willing Heartsas a community and help prepare the meals (ie. cutting vegetables, cooking the food, packing the food) for distribution.
