Yet another fabulous evening... a one worth remembering the for a long long time. Sadguru Mangeshda Kriya Yoga Foundation had organised a Special program for the aid of visually challenged viz. ILLUMINATIONS under its ongoing Eye Donation Awareness campaign EYE PLEDGE WE PLEDGE on Saturday the 22th March 2014, at Rangsharada Auditorium, Bandra. Legendary singer Padmashree Shubha Mudgal presented a melodious musical evening of devotional songs in her inimitable style of Singing. We all know the importance of Eye Donation. In India, still there are millions of cases of corneal blindness which are curable. However, the number of people who actually donate their eyes after death is very low. Therefore, to create awareness about Eye Donation, Param Pujya Sadguru Yogiraj Sri Sri Mangeshda has undertaken this special mission since the last 3 years. The response to this campaign has been stupendous & in this span of three years, the Foundation has been able to register nearly 23 Lakh Eye Pledges. Speaking on this occasion, Sadguruji said, We started this campaign with a target of registering 1 lakh Eye Pledges. And the target was achieved immediately, due to the overwhelming response of the people. And we decided to keep moving ahead. This campaign was run by our Foundation Members at various places across Mumbai, Maharashtra & other parts of India. People supported us wholeheartedly. And in the span of three years, I can proudly tell that we have been able to register nearly 23 Lakh Eye Pledges. If we continue to get such response, I am sure corneal blindness will be eradicated from India one day. There is a lot of mis-conception & superstitions about Eye Donation in India and through this campaign, we are trying to overcome the same and reach out to maximum people. I am thankful to each and every person who has joined us in this noble cause. Sadguruji also talked about His recent illness and the way He fought back the same. Dr. V N Shrikhande, Eminent Surgeon was the CHIEF GUEST on this occasion. In his speech, he lauded the efforts taken by Sadguruji towards this noble cause and stressed that India needs people like him who work relentlessly for the betterment of the country. He described Sadguruji as energy spreader, positivity spreader. Smt Hansaben Mehta, Shri Subhash Mayekar(Chairman, Shri Siddhivinayak Mandir Trust) and Sujata Mehta(Eminent Actress) also graced the occasion. Many dignitaries from various fields also attended the function in support of the cause. A special souvenir for the Foundations Eye Pledge campaign was also released on this occasion. The Students of Kamala Mehta Girl School For the Blind, Dadar displayed their wonderful ROPE MALLAKHAMB Skills and won the hearts of all present. Truly it was an outstanding show and one wondered how all of them were so divine & perfect in their performance. Lots and lots to learn from them. Later, the evening belonged to Padmashree Smt. Shubha Mudgal who presented an outstanding concert and enthralled the audience. It was a great evening in support of a noble cause.
