How is Puravipalayam Sri La Sri Ponmudi Kodi Swamigal Charitable Trust redefining dignity for the Irular People?

The divine instructions from Kodi Swamigal

Our Trust follows a unique path, guided solely by divine instructions from Kodi Swamigal, and we take on each initiative with care and purpose. We don't focus on religious or political affiliations but assess each opportunity individually, ensuring our actions align with a higher calling. One of the meaningful missions entrusted to us is to support the irular community at Nedumaram village. The purpose is to feed the hungry souls and be a supportive pillar to their needs.

Annaprasadham - For the body & the soul.
In the heart of Nedumaram Village, Kodi Swamigal's trust has become a beacon of hope for the Irular community. Through weekly annaprasadham distributions since Feb 2022, on Saturdays, every full moon(Pournami), and new moon (Amavasya) days, the trust provides more than just nutritious food—it offers a sense of spiritual belonging.

Fostering growth
The trust's impact extends beyond meals. By supporting school children with essential supplies and clothing donations from volunteers, they are nurturing the community's future. The Irular people feel deeply connected to the Kodi Kudumbam, experiencing a transformative sense of dignity and care.
Participation in events
Their participation in the guru poojai function in Chennai symbolises more than a ritual - it represents their integration into a larger spiritual family. What was once a marginalised community feels valued, respected, and spiritually connected.
