Gift a Dream Adopt a Child | Balkalyan Yojana
India accounts for the highest number of deaths of children under five years of age. Around 50% of such deaths caused mainly due to malnutrition and poor living conditions. According to the Unicef report, India accounts for 22% of the total under-five children death globally.
A child is a gift of God, born into certain circumstances, cultures, places, wealthy or poverty, with specific genetics, talents and drawbacks. No one has any control over these circumstances Life for a newborn baby is like a river with multiple tributaries branching out in different directions. And really, it’s a bit like that for all of us.
Joy of giving
Teaching a child ‘how to live’ is greater than just giving birth. Of course, nothing can replace the joy of giving birth, but still, some people throw away this blessing specially if it’s a girl child. Among the most unconventional reasons to adopt a child is the joy of giving love to those who are not so fortunate to get parents’ love. Adoption is not just good for the society, but for your well-being, as you feel deeply connected with your child and get to experience the blessing in disguise.
Joy of supporting a child
If it’s not always possible for a couple or for that matter for an individual to adopt a child due to any reason, you can always sponsor a child through NGOs or charitable societies. Thousands of children are living in poverty, and they are praying for their survival. Children growing up in poverty have to face many challenges: hunger, no education, limited access to medical services and social discrimination. But people like you can help these children get the basic necessities of life. It can be by sponsoring them for education or food. It will create lasting change in their lives and in communities.
No joy could be bigger than to see a child progressing because of your share of love and care that you extended. The kind of satisfaction is at par beautiful.
Joy of spreading happiness
We must come forward to help needy children not just for the welfare of these children, but also as a step towards ensuring our own betterment. Because our future depends on them! Adopt poor children and be their savior. Help them in whatever way you can as per your capacity, financially or even in kind. And if you can not help them financially, go and spend time with them. Making those children realize that they aren’t alone and that they have friends to be with, can make them joyful. Giving smiles and happiness serves the same way.
By adopting a ‘poor’ child and caring for him/her, you are filling up your ‘good karma‘. After all, children are a priceless gift from God that brings joy, pride and prosperity.
HH Maharajshri Says
Those children without parents are not alone, rather they are more fortunate because they are the children of God and so He named them ‘Devdoot‘.
Having the most kind and loving eye for these children, He introduced Devdoot Balkalyan Yojna, a special platform for the welfare of these children of God. Calling them orphans is strictly restricted in the Mission family. He has built several schools and balashrams specifically for these children and for those who are not able to fund their education and meals. He wants that each child must realize their capability at it’s best and shines bright.
Gift a Dream
You can ‘Gift a dream” to one or as many children you want. Gift them a dream of education, a dream of healthy food, a dream of progress and a dream of being successful in your capacity. Remember that Maharajshri says, ‘that each one of us should contribute 2% of our total income towards any social cause to bring fortune in our own life’.What better could be, than sponsoring a child’s education for a better future.
When each one of us will be determined to contribute towards the welfare of the society in whatever capacity we can, Satyug will return.

राष्ट्र के उपेक्षित बचपन को संवारने की अभिनव प्रयोग भरी मिशन की शिक्षा सेवा | vishwa Jagriti Mission
शिक्षा जीवन निर्माण की आधार शिला है
शिक्षा जीवन निर्माण की आधार शिला है, करोड़ों बचपनों को बेहद दुःखी और व्यथित देखकर पूज्य महाराजश्री के मन में संकल्पभाव जगा कि ‘‘देश के अनाथ बच्चों के प्रति संवेदनशील होना हर सभ्य समाज का अत्यन्त महत्वपूर्ण दायित्व है। फुटपाथों, गलियों और जंगलों में भटकते इस बचपन को सम्हाला व संवारा न गया, तो ये अपनी ही भारत मां के सीने में घाव कर सकते हैं।’’ इसी संवेदनाओं से विश्व जागृति मिशन राष्ट्र के उपेक्षित बचपन को वात्सल्य संरक्षण, शिक्षण-प्रशिक्षण देकर उन्हें सुयोग्य बनाकर राष्ट्र की मुख्यधारा से जोड़ने का मिशन अभिनव प्रयास करता आ रहा है।
3000 से अधिक बच्चों का जीवन संवारा जा रहा है
इस प्रकार देश के बचपन को भारत के ऋषि प्रणीत प्राचीन ज्ञान एवं आधुनिकतम विज्ञान से जोड़ने के लिए मिशन की शिक्षा सेवा अहर्निश समर्पित है। आज मिशन लगभग 3000 बच्चों पर कार्य कर रहा है। इन बच्चों को उचित शिक्षण-प्रशिक्षण के साथ-साथ उनके ऊपर आने वाले समस्त व्यय का वहन करता है। आदिवासी रुक्का-खूंटी ग्राम में दो विद्यालय मिशन द्वारा संचालित हैं। इन बच्चों के लिए समस्त पाठ्य सामग्री, वस्त्र-भोजन आदि की व्यवस्था संस्था द्वारा की जाती है। 1200 अत्यंत निर्धन बच्चे हरियाणा फरीदाबाद मण्डल के ज्ञानदीप विद्यालय में शिक्षा-दीक्षा प्राप्त कर रहे हैं। ये वे बच्चे हैं जो कूड़ा-कचरा बीनने से लेकर भीख मांगने का कार्य करते थे।
महर्षि वेदव्यास गुरुकुल विद्यापीठ
इस क्रम में सर्व प्रथम आनन्दधाम आश्रम, नई दिल्ली में महर्षि वेदव्यास गुरुकुल विद्यापीठ, आनन्दधाम, नई दिल्ली की स्थापना हुई। इन विद्यार्थियों की शिक्षा, भोजन, आवास, वस्त्र, चिकित्सा सुविधा तथा अन्य सभी दैनिक आवश्यकताओं की पूर्ति मिशन निःशुल्क करता है। छात्रें के लिए यहां का सुंदर विशाल परिसर अपने आप में उदाहरण है। यही नहीं विद्यार्थियों के लिए बने शिक्षण कक्ष, सभागार से लेकर खेल का मैदान, प्रतियोगिताशाला, दिव्यतापूर्ण यज्ञशाला, उपासना कक्ष, भोजनालय देखकर किसी भी अभिभावक का भी मन अपने बालकों को इस गुरुकुल से जोड़ने हेतु मचल उठता है। प्रातः जलपान से लेकर भोजन तक की उत्तम सुरुचिपूर्ण व्यवस्था बच्चों के स्वास्थ्य संवर्धन एवं मानसिक विकास का यह अपना अलग श्रेष्ठ संदेश देता है।
उपदेशक महाविद्यालय
तत्पश्चात देश में पुनः धर्मोपदेशकों की आवश्यकता को महसूस करते हुए पूज्यवर ने धर्माचार्य प्रशिक्षार्थियों के निर्माण हेतु वर्ष 2019 में उपदेशक महाविद्यालय की स्थापना की। लोक पीड़ा को सेवा में परिवर्तित करने वाले युवाओं को गढ़ना गुरुसंकल्प की यह विशेष कड़ी है। लोक पीड़ा का अहसास करते हुए राष्ट्र सेवा में हाथ बंटा सकें। देश को ऐसे वानप्रस्थियों, उपदेशकों की जरूरत की पूर्ति कर रहा है यह महाविद्यालय।
बालाश्रम, सूरत (गुजरात)
बालाश्रम, सूरत (गुजरात) लगभग दो दशक पूर्व गुजरात भूकम्प त्रसदी में अनाथ बच्चों को संरक्षण देने की भावधारा में इस अनाथालय का निर्माण हुआ। तब से लेकर आज तक अनवरत चल रहे इस बालाश्रम में सैकड़ों अनाथ बच्चों के स्वर्णिम भविष्य का निर्माण हो रहा है। सैकड़ों विद्यार्थी विश्व जागृति मिशन के प्रयास से भारतीय सांस्कृतिक परिवेश में उच्च गुणवत्ता वाली अत्याधुनिक स्कूली शिक्षा प्राप्त कर स्वयं को समाज की मुख्य धारा के अनुकूल बना रहे हैं। इसी में से अनेक बच्चे प्रान्त स्तर पर विविध प्रतिस्पर्धाओं में स्वर्ण पदक भी प्राप्त कर चुके हैं।
महर्षि वेदव्यास अन्तर्राष्ट्रीय गुरुकुल विद्यापीठ
विश्व जागृति मिशन कानपुर मण्डल के बिठूर स्थित सिद्धिधाम आश्रम में प्रारम्भ हुए ‘‘महर्षि वेदव्यास अन्तर्राष्ट्रीय गुरुकुल विद्यापीठ’’ को संस्कार एवं विज्ञानयुक्त शिक्षण केन्द्र कह सकते हैं। प्राचीन ज्ञान एवं आधुनिक विज्ञान से युक्त यहां की अत्याधुनिक शिक्षा योग्य शिक्षकों द्वारा प्रदान की जाती है। वेदादि शास्त्रें से लेकर योग, नैतिक मूल्य, सुसंस्कार आदि के साथ कम्प्यूटर, योग, खेल आदि तकनीकों से भी इन बच्चों को जोड़ा जा रहा है। यहां इनके शिक्षण, आवास, भरणपोषण की उच्चस्तरीय व्यवस्था है। इस गुरुकुल की उत्कृष्ट मानव निर्माण की महाक्रान्ति को देखने देश-विदेश से अनेक गणमान्य आकर यहां से प्रेरित होते हैं। भविष्य में भी देश के विभिन्न नगरों में ऐसे गुणवत्ता वाले गुरुकुल खोलने की मिशन की योजना है।
आदिवासी पब्लिक स्कूल रुक्का एवं खूंटी (रांची-झारखण्ड)
इसी प्रकार रांची-झारखण्ड के रुक्का एवं खूंटी में विश्व जागृति मिशन द्वारा ‘आदिवासी पब्लिक स्कूल’ के इन स्कूलों में आदिवासी क्षेत्रें के 700 से अधिक बच्चों को पुस्तकें, यूनिफार्म एवं अल्पाहार के साथ निःशुल्क शिक्षा दी ही जाती है।
ज्ञानदीप विद्यालय फरीदाबाद (हरियाणा)
इसी तरह छोटी-छोटी गरीब बच्चियों को प्रातःकाल कूड़ा बीनते, भीख मांगते देखकर मन में एक भाव जागृत हुआ कि कि क्यों न वह इन बच्चियों के लिये शिक्षा की व्यवस्था करके इन्हें समाज की मुख्यधारा से जोड़कर इनके जीवन को संवारा जाये और ज्ञानदीप विद्यालय फरीदाबाद (हरियाणा) की स्थापना हुई। पूज्य सद्गुरुदेव के मार्गदर्शन में जून 2001 में 5 छोटी-छोटी कन्याओं से आश्रम में नर्सरी कक्षा प्रारम्भ की। वर्ष 2002 में 28 कन्याएं दाखिल हुईं।
अब ज्ञानदीप विद्यालय में 700 कन्याएं और 300 बालक हैं। बालिकाएं प्रातः और बालक शाम की शिफ्रट में आते है। इस विद्यालय में नर्सरी से लेकर दसवीं तक शिक्षा दी जाती है।’’ सभी विद्यार्थियों को एक समय का खाना, पुस्तकें, वेशभूषा, जूते, स्वेटर निःशुल्क दिये जाते हैं। इन्हें पाठ्यक्रम के अनुसार शिक्षा देने के साथ-साथ संगीत, सिलाई, कम्प्यूटर का प्रशिक्षण भी दिया जाता है। इस विद्यालय में सभी पर्व, त्यौहार, मिशन के पर्व, राष्ट्रीय पर्व बड़े उत्साह से मनाये जाते हैं।
मिशन प्रयास कर रहा है कि इन बच्चों को सुयोग्य बनाकर राष्ट्र को अर्पित किया जाय। गुरुदेव के मिशन के इस शिक्षा सेवाकार्य में अपने पवित्रम आय में से कुछ अंश-हिस्सा देकर राष्ट्र निर्माण के इन प्रयासों में लोग सहभागी बन रहे हैं।

Why you need Knowledge and Inspiration?
You have to learn to fix your mind; You have to increase its strength; You have to use it properly.
Learn how to make your mind quiet About five days back a research study was published. It suggested that God should show his grace so that we forget the past things. Do not place so many things in the computer of your mind. Go on cleaning and vacating its back portion so that you may learn new things and find place to put them in. Do not allow the neurons of your mind to be damaged, which work for you. Do not put more pressure on them. But these are subtle and minute things which it will take up later.
Learn to Make Your Mind Quiet
Right now I am passing on to you some general directions. You have to understand them carefully. Need to learn to make your mind quiet because without quietness and peace of mind you cannot conceive of any happiness and without happiness you cannot make any progress in life.
Remember You have to be aware, conscious because without awareness you cannot have peace. You need knowledge and inspiration all the time so that you maintain awareness. It is very important that you are inspired.
You need a spark- The spark should continue igniting you. It should not extinguish because then it is of no use. You need constant awareness. Someone or something should continue to inspire you all the time. I have said this again and again that either you keep yourself inspired or the process of expiry will continue by itself. Either you keep yourself connected with God, with source of inspiration, make your life, make yourself aware or you will die. Do not live like the dead persons.
So, what is to be done?
What I am giving you here is the gist of our classics, our scriptures; it is all presented with a modern angle; it is our research of our past and rendered relevant for the present. I am presenting them so that you may understand them.
The knowledge is for living a life
The knowledge of India and the spirituality of India are in reality for living a life and for making life convenient and comfortable and are for realizing and achieving important things in life. They help us in realizing our highest potential. And meditation and devotion are not the processes for alienating you from life or for placing you in a secluded corner.
They are meant for success in life, for making you more happy, so that you may derive more and really worthwhile interest in life, for transporting you to a position where you may in the last part of your life say that you do not have any complaint against life, world or God, and that you are very, very and really happy.
Have seen this world thoroughly well?
I came to this world as a tourist, as a visitor. Have seen this world thoroughly well. I am contented, and, O God! I am coming to you, to your abode with so many sweet and sour memories. Really very, very satisfied and, O God! I am coming to your door to express my thankfulness to you. It should be a situation which we have lived with taste, interest and joy, and now we are taking a happy gracious bow and are leaving behind many sweet memories, and our own, peculiar smile.
Take Care of your Mind
So, go on understanding and following carefully. The first thing is: Reason with your mind and make it considerate. The second thing is: Make your man [mind] a su-man [good mind or flower]. Bring about a happy state of mind.
Your child is lettered and well-educated. He is strong and energetic. But try so that he continues to remain this way and make further forays into gentleness. For this it is necessary that your own mind is strong so that it is more useful and contributes to your family, to your society. Your mind has learnt many things. It is very necessary that you keep it cheerful and smiling like a flower.
