Dear Sir / Madam,
We are pleased to share the successful completion of the 164th week of Saturday Sangamam, held today at Sailam, at the VAMA Charitable Trust Centre.

This week’s Sangamam was truly special as we had the honour of hosting our special guest, Mr. Senthur Pari, President of the EXNORA International Foundation, along with his family. Their presence added great value and inspiration to the program.

The program was jointly organised by Papanasam Sithar Cottam and Research Academy, which conducted an ASNA Mithra Practical Session at the VAMA Centre. Around 25 trainees, along with CWR Consultant partners from EXNORA and ASNA, well-wishers, and volunteers from various locations actively participated in the session. We also acknowledge the presence of Mr. Vithyanithi Kannaiya, whose contribution significantly enriched the program. CSR Consultant Ms. Radha also joined the program and actively participated in the sessions.

Program Highlights
The event began with a prayer song, setting a positive and spiritual tone for the day. The elders listened attentively and actively practiced the sessions with the support of our volunteers.

CSR Consultant Ms. Radha conducted a practical session on Mithra and Moochu Payirchi (breathing practices), which was well received by the elders.
Mr. Vithyanithi Kannaiya explained the concepts of ASNA Mudra, elaborated on Human Mirror Trust activities, and clearly outlined the objectives and impact of ongoing projects. He also highly appreciated the continuous efforts taken for the Thamiraparani River cleaning activities, highlighting the strong support and active involvement of the EXNORA International Foundation in protecting and restoring the river ecosystem.
