Udayan Care in Nainital

Wandering into an unknown land, eager to grasp the surroundings through all five senses, is conducive to a deeper realisation of the self. Nature has its own way to educate us; with competing mountain peaks, patient trees, humble flowers and restless rivers.

Just like last year when the opportunity was given to our boys, this year, girls from eight of our Udayan Ghars were taken to Nainital to experience its magnificent beauty. A total of 75 people went on the trip, including 59 children, 6 care staff and 5 social workers.

The girls stayed in Van Niwas, which is at a height of 7,648 ft, and is set in a picturesque backdrop. Beginning on 21 June, this 8-day trip dealt with topics like healthy living, character building, national problems and role of youth, and the joy of meditating in the mountains.

Heartfelt thanks to Ms. Lali, Ms. Soni, Mr. Jayunto, Mr. Sachin and Mr. Manoj (instructors) for their support and care. All this wouldn't have been possible without the support of Team Aurobindo Ashram, Delhi, who helped make the trip a reality.

We will forever be grateful to Tara di for introducing our children to such profound experiences every year.
