INTRODUCTION: Shakti program is introduced by Anandmurti Gurumaa to empower girl child for healthy society.

NEED OF SHAKTI: In our society, which is called educated society is still doing foolish work. Parents are murdering their girl child before their birth at the stage of fetus. They are still on that lowest foolish level where boys are assets and girls are liabilities. To over come this type of difference Shakti program is established.

AIM OF SHAKTI: Aim of Shakti is to remove the foolishness of society about urge of boy than girl. Shakti says baby is just baby. Baby does not know whether he is a boy or she is a girl. Shakti program wants to tell the truth that girls are similar to boys even one step advanced.

WHAT SHAKTI DO: Shakti program have very wide concept. They are empowering the girl child by providing them free education named CEAP. In this activity main focus is on girls to develop more confidence, make them earning hand in the family like boys. Shakti providing the education aid up to 12^th to the girls of poor widow, handicapped one means who is really needy.

Today we were shown video of Shakti project by Gurumaa and disciples. as far I think, this project if implemented properly will have much beneficial effect on the development and standard of the country.

As today my new friend who met me in Ashram told that girl must be educated. she is the most responsible person for the development of children.

India is facing lot of major problems because of illiteracy. First of all, female foeticide which as today I have seen during class is prevented because of the wrong thinking of the people, which can be changed with education usually see mothers like our maid servant unnecessarily beating their children, not bother to send them to school. She doesn’t provide them proper hygienic things neither she advise them also. I feel pity on them.

It is because she herself is not educated. shakti project with god’s grace may become successful and remove such problems. Many children indulge in wrong activities ,it has major reason because their parents have never stopped them.

Education provides then opportunity to do jobs. In India, girls are given inferior status and they are only prepared to household work. Even they are educated by preparing this in mind that they will get better home.

I think cultural values are right. Girls as a daughter, wife and mother should obey her duty properly but this doesn’t mean she should not be educated rather through education; she can obey these duties well. I pray to god that this project would succeed.

SAURABH MALHOTRA

Today in Ashram I have seen a cd about shakti program started by Anandmurti Gurumaa. This is a women empowerment programme which provide financial help to girls of poor widow and handicapped parents .One has just to register the name and her fee upto twelth class would be given by trust.

As sex ratio is decreasing day by day in India ,this programme would be a boom in empowering female child.People prefer male child to female because of various superstitious myths.They think that female is a weight on them. Hence they are not provided with good education and other facilities.

This programme aims at providing support to the girls. This is a programme which has made many people aware about the importance of girls and bringing them equal to boys in the society.This programme has uplifted many women in Punjab and Haryana by giving them information about computers and internet.

In India sex ratio is decreasing alarmingly. It was 967/1000 in 1951 and 927/1000 in 2001.Punjab, Haryana and Gujarat have less than 900 females/1000 males. The result is that there is increase in crime against females in the present days. If the situation continues, than there can be great increase in crime in future. If we have to make balance in the nature then we should not kill our girls instead we should give respect,love and affection.

Females can make a better world conditions apply: if they are provided with education.

People should remember that “ Females are not e- mails one should not delete them”.

Today the world is getting so much disgusting human beings themselves given the place of Goddess and in the 20^th century, these girls have been ruined under the feet of human beings. Most of the people don’t want girls because of the old myth, the boys can take care of the parents in the future, generally the people think that the girls are the liabilities because when they have to marry they have to give dowry. But the people does not understand that today girls have reached the heights and can stand equally with boys.Without girls the world wouldn’t be the peaceful place. Due to decreases in population of girls, there would be crime. The most prospecting states like Punjab,Haryana,Gujrat have less number of population of girls. These are the states known for developing states in the country. To increase the population of girls, there should be proper education among the people. Shakti is one which has been going against the people to don’t ruined the girls. Due to shakti 4000 girls in Punjab and Haryana are getting education. Shakti is also providing computer knowledge to the girls while going in different schools.

Shakti is based on girls.In India almost all parents wants boys in comparison to girls because of old mindedness. They know that boy is the right hand of them.They give good knowledge and higher studies to their son. But to their daughter they teach how to live in the house of her husband. But this is wrong. In the present age of India girls are more interested in their studies in comparison to boys. If we give them higher qualification they make a better world. Shakti is a programme sponsored by Gurumaa that all girls are like as boys and they can do that work which boy never did. The present ratio of girls in India in comparison to 1000 boys is 922 and this is the fault of their parents that they want boy. Some states which are more responsible are :-

Punjab - 822 girls - 1000 boys

Haryana – 810 girls - 1000 boys

Delhi - 789 girls - 1000 boys

So please help the girls to teach them as better as you can because girls are like as the Goddess of the Earth. So give them higher and higher education for our better world.

Not only pray for boys but also pray for girls. This is my request to all the parents.

Shakti means Power. Gurumaa had created shakti for the improvement of girls education. The girls have talent . Gurumaa gave them opportunities to show their talent. In our presetn there are places where girls growth is very less as compared to boys. In Shakti she told that girls are not less from anyone. They also have power to do something,they also have the power to make their position in the world. Many people think that girls should do kitchen work not else but no they also have the power to become something. Gurumaa helps them in their education so that they study more and can be self-independent.Gurumaa also told not to kill girls. People are killing girls just because that they think boys can only hold their business. Gurumaa helped the girls to make them self- independent. The Shakti says that we should inspire everyone to not to kill the girls and let them also fly. Let them be self – independent.

Shakti – empowernment of a girl child, a programme started by Anandmurti Gurumaa is to make a girl gain all her rights which she has not been provided with. We never thought there could be such a world without computers, But today we were shown in Gurunmaa Ashram that yes, there are parts of country where kids don’t know how to operate a computer. Even in todays times there are people who think that Girls are liabilities or Boys will take care of them for the whole of there life. But no its not true. Girls are proving that they are much better than boys in many fields. Even they can earn and even more than boys. The areas of Punjab, Delhi and Gujarat are having the top most falling ratio of girls as compared to boys and they are the famous states of India.

Some people even don’t think that girls have the right to take birth but they forget the country (India) they live in, is known as “Bharat Mataa”. Every human being takes birth from a women but still they think girls should not be given birth. They are killed before coming into this world. Even if they are given birth, they don’t get equal rights as compared to boys, they are not given freedom to study and if they let them study, they do not let them to be self dependent to earn.

Girl is the most precious gift of god. She is blessed with powers of emotions, feeling and she has the heart to bless even if she is bleeding. She takes care of everyone being a daughter, a wife, a daughter-in-law and the most important as a mother.Mother is called the first Guru of Everyone’s life but if there are no girls who will give birth and there will be no mother.

And it will be the Rejection of God’s gift. Anyone who denies the power of God or who comes in his ways of judging things will be destroyed. As they are nothing else but the sons of god. And anyone does a wrong deed. Mother/Father punishes them. So, the rule of the world will not change.

The result of decreasing ratio of girls will be increase in crime rate, girls would be unsafe, as the requirement will not be completed. Everything will be destroyed. Women is called – the creator of the world and if no women will be there it will lead to destruction. So, girl should be given the right to take birth and the right to be well educated. So that she can be self dependent.

Shakti means power, energy, strength which is being given to girls by God. But some people in our country do not respect girls. Places such as Haryana, Delhi and Gujarat do not respect girls at all. In these places so many girls are being raped, killed before birth due to which the sex ration is very less.

Some people let it be from poor families or rich families say that girls should not be born because they cannot handle our buiseness or they cannot do any work properly. But I donot agree with those people because they donot know that girls can do so much work that by girls only or we can say that Goad has given so much power to girls that they can handle all the work very well. Girls can become better business women, they are able to take care of their families and most important thing is if girls are not born then we cannot carry any further relationship because females only gibe birth to the children. Girls are more intelligent than boys because of Shakti.

So I promise myself that I will spread this Shakti every where because after all I am also a girl. Whosoever thinks that boys are better than girls, then I will go to them and explain those people very well. Therefore to improve the sex ratio of India I willtake this step so that I can empower the girl child.

To make a better tomorrow, all of us need to take this step and from now, I will do my job properly to give my country a better future.

Shakti – The Power.

The word “Shakti” itself defines the meaning of the word. Shakti is the symbol of a women i.e.power of the women.

Life in 21st century is also not advanced. We try to imitate and follow the western culture but we are still not advanced. Just by wearing short clothes, Denims, Eating Low-cal food does not proves us to be advanced. We have to increase our mental level. Living in 2007 is also like living in 1800. We may have advanced in scientific and information technology but there are still so many places where India is till lagging behind.

In India, where one side women are considered to be godess on the other side, they are being killed at the time of birth, being burned in their houses for dowry. The situation has become so worse that the ratio between girls and boys have down at a very lower level.

Because of Abortions of girl child, Ratio of Girl: Boys have reached:- 827 : 1000, i.e. there are 827 girls per 1000 boys. Cities like Punjab, Haryana, Delhi and Gujrat are the most culprit cities under the list.

Delhi being the metropolitan city is also a part of this crime.

The consequences of this situation are going to be very bad. As girls are decreasing in comparison to boys, crime rate will increase more of rape attempts will be made. So the only solution to this problem is to spread awareness amongst the girl children. They should be taught about their rights and freedom. They should be made aware that they are no less than boy. So to empower the strength of a girl child Gurumaa ji has started a new programme under her supervison in the ashram provice. This program has been given the name “Shakti”- The empowerment of a girl child”.

This programme has been designed specially for girls education. This programme is responsible for providing education to those poor girl children whose parents died under some war circumstances or who do not have parents or cannot afford education.

They are provided education from Nursery class to 12th class. They are also being made aware about computer courses, internet courses etc. So that they do not have to wait for long to get a basic job, So that they can become a earning pillar of the house and break the myth of the parents that only boy child can serve his parents in old age, due to which they prefer to have a boy child than a girl child.

We are really obliged that Gurumaa came up with such a wonder idea of providing education to the neglected part of the society and now its our turn to make contribution in this programme. Either we can donate some money in ashram with the name of “Vidya Nidhi Kosh”, or by T- Shirts designed specially for this purpose with motivating captions written on them and wear them in our work places or other surroundings or Teach little poor girls ourself around our society and make a contribution in the programme directly.

So “Everyone Teach One”

SHAKTI : As the name itself suggests that it means power, strength, determination. Girls are precious and therefore we should save them from being killed. Shakti is a project founded by our Guruji to help stop killing of girls. Girls are being killed as soon as they are born. In parts of our country like Gujarat, Haryana, Punjab and Delhi. The ratio of girls as to boys is very less.

Girls are killed firstly due to age old myths that people believe and secondly there parents think that they will have to pay huge amount of money for dowry. They want boys because they think boys are the ones who will make the family proud and carry forward their family name. If they cannot be brought to life again. They should also not be killed. This is increasing the rate of crime against women and will cause a natural and social imbalance. Need for the hour is to empower old age myth and to make girl dependent. Shakti aims for a better society and to make girls realize that they in no way are more inferior to boys. It also give them financial support for their education. So if we work together we can make the world a better place to live.

Here is a poem that I have written for Shakti:-

Save girls!

 

Save girls!

 

They are like precious pearls.

 

They are home makers and not home takers

 

Girls! It’s time you learn to be independent and no more dependent

 

Dhyaan is the best aid,

 

So do it before it’s too late

 

The ratio of girls as to boys has become very less

 

And this all has been converted into a big mess

 

So Save Girls!

 

Save girls!

 

They are like precious pearls

 

So, Now lets all pledge to make this country a better place to live in by stopping killing of girls.
