A Once-Happy Family

Meet Rajesh and his mother, Kalavathi. Twenty-five years ago, their small family was happy, living in a rented home and running a hotel business. In 2000, tragedy struck when Kalavathi’s husband died of a heart attack, leaving her to raise their young son, Rajesh, alone. Rajesh grew up to be a responsible young man and found a job at a cable services company. Eight years ago, he fell in love and planned to get married. However, his fiancée left him without explanation on their wedding day, shattering Rajesh’s world.


Struggles with Stroke, Psoriasis, and a Hip Injury

Devastated, Rajesh turned to alcohol to cope, leading to a stroke that paralyzed the right side of his body and caused the onset of psoriasis. Around the same time, Kalavathi injured her hip, requiring surgery. After her surgery, life became a constant struggle. Rajesh’s mental health deteriorated, and his behavior became unpredictable despite medication. Kalavathi found it increasingly difficult to care for both herself and her son. With their savings depleted and no relatives to help, they faced an uncertain future.


Finding a Second Chance at Sri Sai Sadhguru Charity

At NIMHANS, where Rajesh was receiving treatment, they connected with Sri Sai Sadhguru Charity. Meenakshi, the founder, welcomed them into the charity right away. She ensured they received the care they needed. Meenakshi has also been arranging transportation for Rajesh’s frequent hospital visits, which often take an entire day. Thanks to the charity, Rajesh’s psoriasis, overall health, and social behavior have improved significantly. He now enjoys chatting with the staff and others, a testament to the charity’s impact.
