in the name of a mother
Anouradha Bakshi - October 13, 2007
It is the time of the year when in India we remember the dears ones that have left us and gone to another world.
It is the time of the year when in India we remember the dears ones that have left us and gone to another world. Normally people feed the poor or give alms; some have elaborate pujas (religious ceremonies).
For a few years after the death of my parents I too made such offerings till the day I decided to break the mould and honour my parents in a different way. That is when project why began or rather the Trust in my father's name.
Somehow mama got forgotten: papa had always been the flamboyant one as mama perfected the art of being almost invisible.
But life has its own plans and for the past few months my world has been filled by a plethora of incredible women and their lives that led to the setting up of the why women centre. Somehow it seemed destined that I dedicate this centre to Kamala an incredible woman who today dares me to jump without a parachute and see whether I have the wings to fly.
The why women centre is my offering to a very special mother.

When I wake up this Sunday-morning I was thinking :
Behind every great man there is a strong woman, hidden, or invisible in the shadow.. (as you say so delicately about your own mum)
When a great woman appears on stage, she comes alone.. ('Elisabeth')
Isn't it time that men and women stand up and appear together as equals mutually sustaining each other? Isn't that the real meaning of marriage?
I think this will bring forth tremendous power of love in and from themselves and to all around without limitation.
Wouldn't this be a real spiritual revolution?
Congratulations to you and to all the efforts you put in loving people.

Indeed, humanity is discovering its wings through each of us. Men and women alike, we are learning to fly with both determination and gentle grace. Congratulations for this exciting new venture and for following the inner calling without hesitation, you are both strengthening to your own wings and showing others how to fly!

Dear Anouradha,
Thank you for sharing this tribute to your Mother. Is the dedication for the center today?
Your energy, care and commitment are an inspiration to me. Project Why is a reflection of these qualities - and I wish you well and all the ones you serve!
love and blessings,
~ Kate

Anou...you are a wonderful reflection of your mother! How lucky you are, to have been given so much love from your mother..that it created in you; the compassion necessary to make a difference in helping in this world..
Continued success to the womens centre..may it be just the beginning of a wonderful movement across the globe; where helping human beings is priority number one...
May all that "IS" reward your hard work and self-sacrifices with abundant financial aide from around the world...
with you in spirit,
North
