RamRam Ashram Trip

Hillock

 The elementary children visited the Ashram in December. Ram Ram ashram supports destitutes and village discards . This organisation was founded by Ram Ram 10 years back and his inspiration is carried on by his son Vinod. Here is one of the children(Ananya)’s account of the trip :

Up the hill to the ashram

RamRam Ashram is located on a rocky hillock off Kanakpura Road. We drove there by car. On the way, we listened to a lot of songs and played games.

Enthusiastic trekkers

The enthusiastic group of trekkers were all excited to explore the rugged beauty of the lofty hills. the weather was favourable. Thorny shrubs cover the hill,huge boulders scattered all over.

 

After reaching there we climbed a small hill. Once there if you go straight you reach a temple with a well. It was a very pretty place and was full of nice paintings. We went inside the temple, played a little and then went to climb the hills. Nikita made friends with a girl on the hill. Some of us went quite far and some stayed behind.

On the way we found many types of stones. We lost our way and Krishna came to help us and pointed the way back to us and then went to help the others. Sania and I helped show the others the way back & we came back to the ashram first. The others had a lot more thorns stuck on them then us. I helped Thea take the thorns out of her clothes. All the girls washed their hair to cool off. Ambar and Trilok even had a bath.

At the ashram we met the ashram children and the uncle who looks after them.
After coming back we enjoyed a snack of vada and payasam. Then we played a little.

Watching the stone grinder

Later we visited a cave which was the samadhi that the villagers had made for RamRam. Some of the villagers sang folk songs for us. And we sand 'When Israel was in Egypt's land' for them. Then Krishna showed us another interesting cave. We all went in one way and there was another way to come out. Then Krishna showed us the trees.

At the ashram

After this we left for school in our cars. Again we played games on our way home in the car. We reached back at 5.30pm and then all of us went home.
