We are happy to share the highlights of the 159th Week of Sangamam held on 20th Dec 2025, which was successfully conducted at Sailam, in connection with World International Meditation Day.

With the objective of promoting mental well-being and a peaceful lifestyle among senior citizens, we organized a guided meditation session with the support of the Heartfulness Meditation Team. The Heartfulness team has been our valued well-wishers for the past three years, and whenever invited, they have consistently supported our elders by conducting meditation sessions along with life skills and soft skills practices. These sessions have been especially helpful for elders who face emotional, mental, and lifestyle challenges during their retired phase of life.

Elders participated from Mannarkoil, VK Puram, Thirumalaipuram, Kalyanipuram, and Alwarkurichi. Additionally, this week, more than 17 elders joined from Prammadesam and Vagaikulam, making the gathering even more special. In total, over 90 elders actively participated in this week’s Sangamam.

The session was led by Mr. Ganesh from the Heartfulness team, who engaged the elders with interesting vidukathai (riddles) and explained the importance and benefits of meditation, highlighting how regular practice can positively transform lifestyle, health, and inner peace. All elders participated with great interest and thoroughly enjoyed the session conducted by the meditation team.

To add joy and recreation, our volunteer Ms. Gowsi conducted fun games for the elders. The elders participated enthusiastically, creating a lively and joyful atmosphere throughout the program.

In the afternoon, lunch was served to all the elders. Post lunch, a “Pattukku Pattu” (sing-along session) was organized, where elders joyfully sang and shared moments of happiness together.

The program concluded on a heartwarming note, with elders dispersing to their homes with smiling faces and sweet memories, carrying a sense of peace, happiness, and togetherness.
