    While congratulating the organizing committee members of Devadiga Sangha Dubai U.A.E in particular, for their efforts and all the fellow community members in general,for their support, i also thank all the like minded people who have contributed their mite generously for this noble cause, without them we wouldn't have fulfilled our mission. charity, begins at home. Don't rely always on laurels/appreciations, those are temporary. That will follow automatically depending on your good deeds done. "Karmanye Waadhikaarasthe maa Phaleshu Kadaachana Maa Karmaphala hertubhu Maate Sangosthawa Karmani" In the 6th chapter of Bhagavath Githa, Krishna says, Anaasritah Karmaphalam = don't expect the fruits Karyam Karma Karotiyaha = but do the work This is what is called Nishkama Karma. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This is some achievement! They have done it without much publicity. Otherwise, we have some organisations here with big big talk and no achievements.
