Mohandas Pai's speech at Akshaya Patra Billionth Meal Celebration

It is very interesting listening to Mohandas Pai.

He mentions how they started off feeding 1500 children per day 12 years ago. Then they went onto feed 3000 children a day. Due to the support, Akshaya Patra are now able to feed 1.3 million Children per day.

He went on to say how The Indian Government has a partnership with Akshaya Patra to feed children.

He also mentions how ISKCON have been involved in supporting Akshaya Patra. ISKCON believe in supporting the community, (people are god),  hence their involvement.

Today 31st May 2013, was II "Ravan" II Bike Ride.

Today 31st May 2013, was II "Ravan" II Bike Ride.

One of the Biggest Bike Rides today, and such a coincidental turning point , where we also have such a Holy Bike Ride Name.

It does not come as a surprise that we have II "Ravan" II as a Bike Ride name. II "Ravan" II is a very misunderstood player in the Ramayan. Need i say.more ... Morari Bapu has dedicated 10 whole Katha"s (1 katha consists of 9 days ) to the topic of II "Ravan" II. There are so many secrets in Ramayan which are spell bounding.

It was a lovely day, and we all got together and we pedalled to protest against Malnutrition.

We have new additions to the team:
Namratta Bedi joins II "Aranya Khand" II Group >>>Addition to Women Group
Neha B joins II "Kishkinda Khand" II Group
Simmi Prehar joins II " Sundar Khand" II Group >>>Addition to Women Group
Reva joins II "Aranya Khand" II Group (Sunita Choudhry)
Shastri Krishan Chandra joins II "Ayodhya Khand" II Group
Neha J joins II "Bal Khand" II Group
Om J Joins II "Uttara Khand" II Group
Dev J Joins II "Lanka Khand" II Group

The First Picture shows we are all ready with the Bikes in the back of the Van. Courtesy of Akaash Duggal, the handy man with the Van, we were able to conveniently get the Bikes to the Park. Many thanks Akaash ! Namratta , an addition to the Women's Team, show the team spirit, and showed courage to get on the Bike and ride some Miles.

All of us got together and we really worked hard.
I must say without the hard work of Radhika Jairath Kusam Duggal Sunita, Namratta, Simmi, Akaash, it would have been impossible to have get together. Everyone arrived on time and we did as many miles as we could.

We do hope to plan another day out and some more Bike Riding to Kick Hunger.

Let there be more children who finish the day with a nutritious meal.
Let there be more children that have a future.

Today 30th May 2013 was II "Maricha" II Bike Ride. 100/ 200 Miles

Today 30th May 2013 was II "Maricha" II Bike Ride. Myself and Akaash Duggal pedalled to Protest against Malnutrition.

We all have to congratulate AKaash for Completing his goal of 100 Miles. Today Akaash did 9.32 miles , which took him past the 100 mile mark , and he now stands at 100.49 miles. Akaash has mentioned that he will carry on adding miles until the end of July. The Sky is the limit.

Funnily enough, we both were able to pass the century mark. I completed 19.24 miles which put me pass the 200 mile mark. I have another 50 miles to go.

I am hoping to add more people to the II "SiyaRam" II Bike Riding Team.. Anyone who has been added to the Team will have officially taken part in doing some Bike Ride Miles. Every Mile is a Protest against Hunger.

We Possibly have an addition to the Women category, and Children Category.

I look forward to updating you all with regard the developments for A Smile for Millions of Children AkshayaPatra 250 Mile Bike Ride

Touch of Your Heart -- The Akshaya Patra Foundation

Have a look at the Big Huge Cauldron's that make Rice for the Children Meals.
It is pure dedication in the Kitchen to make fresh nutritious food. See the pack containers that carry the fresh food. See how the containers are placed in the Akshaya Patra Mobile Van.

How is it that this Akshaya Patra programme is able to time in, time out be able to feed 1.3 million children a day successfully ??

They apply the successful template to all the Kitchens throughout India.

1. There is a lot of money invested with high technology equipment to make quality food

- A big massive cauldron shown in the video can cook rice for 600 children in 15 minutes.


2. Clock Work Precision is important. Everything has to be done ontime.  Work at the Akshaya Patra Kitchen Starts Early.

3. All the Staff at the Akshaya Patra Kitchen are dedicated to provide quality meals to children

Once the food is made, they are put into packed containers. The containers are loaded into customised Akshaya Patra vehicles, each which can transport the hot food for 5,000 children to various schools up to 45 miles from the Kitchen.

Akshaya Patra Foundation - Automatic Chapati Making Machine

Please have a look at the way Akshaya Patra Kitchen's make Chapati. See the roaring gas , and look how the machinery cuts out the Chapati, and the final result - The process is fast, and economical. It is important for them to produce Chapati's in large volumes as there are many Children to feed. When the clock starts, those Chapati's need come out fast in a reliable way. They use high technology to produce quality Chapati's for the Children.

On 26th May 2013 , Akaash Duggal also did some Bike Miles. Well done Akaash ! Akaash is getting very near to his goal of 100 miles. Keep it up !

Today 24th May 2013 was II "NishaadRaj Guha" II Bike Ride. Part 3

On 22nd May 2013 II "Vashishta" II Bike Ride , i did 16 miles , and then today i clocked 9.43 miles. So within a week i have completed approx 25 miles.

The Biker Rider Aashish from II "Aranya Khand" II , and Janesh from II "Sundar Khand" II both managed to do 0.67 miles to voice out their protest against Malnutrition.

After Aashish had finished his II "NishaadRaj Guha" II Bike Ride, he decided to give some time to a Neighbour's Dog. A very cute dog indeed!

Overall the II "SiyaRam" II Bike Riding Team has Clocked upto 400 Power Miles. Amazing !! . There is still a projected 840 miles and possibly more as a whole. So we are nearly half way through, but still there is more potential , more opportunities to discover.
