Thursday Email – Seeking Love And Light Throughout The Way

Namaste!

A little more than a week ago, Team KYS was at the Spastics Society of Karnataka for a very special reason – to celebrate our dearest young friend and inspiration – Pranav Varma.

As part of our #ContentWithACause initiative, we managed to raise some money by selling more than 20 of Pranav’s intricate paintings! To present this little gift to Pranav, we requested Vilas Nayak—our dear friend, guide, mentor and Asia’s fastest speed painter—to join us at SSK, which he kindly readily agreed to! We like to think that we have done our little bit to enable Pranav’s journey to make a career out of art, and now we wait for the emergence to plan the next steps. Do let us know if you can put us in touch with anyone who can help Pranav.

To add cherry on the cake, we were blessed to watch the Jugalbandi performance of Pranav and his friend, Anubhav. While Anubhav sang a Ram Bhajan from his heart, Pranav drew Ram. It was like watching the divine unfold in front of our eyes! The purity and sincerity that oozed out of this performance touched all of us present! 🙂

As we embark upon our journey of service, these little success stories bring us so much joy and motivation. Thank you for being the lanterns on our way. Without the light and love that you shower upon us, we wouldn’t have been able to do what we do. We are forever grateful!
