Shriram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram is the hymn composed by Saint RAMADAS. Which has got 13 syllables in it. So the western theory of Number 13 being a unlucky number is totally stands nil of all the bhaktas of Lord Rama. With the same intent Dr. Aniruddha Joshi (Bapu) has launched His 13 points plan.
This programme was conceptualized on 3^rd October 2002 by Dr. Aniruddha Joshi (Bapu) Himself. The programme is launched with a single aim of converting India ‘Samarth Bharat ‘ by the year 2025. Social work, charitable activities, conservation, interfaith thinking and scientific attitude blend seamlessly in this unique programme. The contours of the same are enlisted as below.

A large number of Indian population today lives without adequate clothing.Over four crore students living in mofusil have just one pair of cloths. Unavailability of adequate and durable clothing deprives them of basic education. Illiteracy breeds blind faith and wrong traditions, which in turn perpetuates poverty. The “Charkha Yojana” has been specifically implemented to break this vicious circle of poverty and illiteracy. Thousands of followers of Parampoojya Sadguru Shree Aniruddha Bapu spin the Amber charkhas for making thread. The hanks produced from threads are collected and converted into cloth.

School uniforms of various sizes are stitched from this cloth and after proper processing and are distributed, free of cost, among the students, in order to motivate and encourage them to attend the school. Till date, 59,085 sets of uniforms have been distributed to 24,544 students. More than 1, 43,000 meters of Cloth have been prepared under the Charkha Project upto March 2008. Presently, a total of 3871 Amber charkhas are in operation. The Foundation also conducts special camps at its affiliated centers throughout the year, in which devotees run the “Amber Charkha”.

India has over the centuries been riddled with famines, droughts and flooding. The ultimate sufferer of these calamities has always been the poor farmer. The food we eat is grown on the sweat of farmer and so it’s our duty to help him when he needs us the most. Farming in India has been primarily dependent on domesticated animals. For people like us who have controlled and continuous access to water it becomes our duty to at least grow fodder for them in the space that is available with us. It is possible to have a yield of sugarcane, wheat, rice and maize between 3 to 4 times a year.

The grass so collected is sent to farmers in the drought stricken areas to feed their cattle. Till date truckloads of grass has been distributed through our Pune centre in Purander taluka. With this novel and noble viewpoint Bapu made this yojana as one of the facets of the 13 point programme.

Under this the Aniruddha Upasna Trust runs many animal shelters in the rural areas where animals in distress are brought to be looked after during the calamitous times. The Trust looks after these animals for absolutely noble cause without charging a single penny from already stressed farmers. All the daily basic needs of these animals viz., food, water, medicine, etc are totally taken care at these camps.

Devotees of P.P. Sadguru Shree Aniruddha bapu, instead of selling old/used newspapers/magazines/notebooks as scrap, donate the same to the Foundation.
Old newspapers will be collected from the people. These will be converted into pulp to make variety of things necessary for poor students in the villages. The Sanstha imparts training to make such things. The training includes conversion of papers into pulp, manufactures of moulds and articles and its decoration.
From old papers carry bags will be prepared to replace the plastic bags which will not only go a long way in solving the plastic bag problem and partly solve environmental issues. The Sanstha every Thursday distributed these carry bags free of cost to devotees attending the discourse. The excess old newspapers will be sold off to partially cover the cost of processing the yarn under charkha yojana. Various items made from the pulp such as toys, artificial fruits and vegetables, models, bats, ball, masks, compass box are available with the sanstha for free distribution amongst poor and needy students.
This unique project involves the making of Lord Ganesh Idols from paper pulp. These idols are made from shredded paper of ‘Ramnaam’ note books used by the devotees, who write ‘Ramnaam’ & other newspapers pages. Which are then deposited by sister organisation Aniruddha’s Universal Bank Of Ramnaam.

Eco friendly Ganpati Procedure :

With the grace of P. P. Aniruddha Bapu, Sadguru Shree Aniruddha Upasana Trust has prepared 3500 Eco friendly Ganesha Idols last year. So let’s serve our motherland and save the nature. Paper pulp is made from Ram Naam Books. (Ram Naam Books:-In this book we have to write down the Jap which is mention on the particular page e.g. RAM,SHREE RAM JAI RAM JAI JAI RAM,DATTAGURU,KRISHANA,JAI JAI ANIRUDDHA HARI. After the complication of the book writer have to submit his book to Ram Naam Bank office.All these submitted book papers are use to prepare eco friendly Ganpati) Normal news paper can also be used.

How to make paper pulp:

Remove the water content from the paper pulp. Spread the paper pulp to attain uniformity. Take 250 gms of Gum Arebica in steel utensil. Add 1.25 liters of water. Then keep the utensil on medium heat, boil it for 10-15 minutes. Keep stirring with the help of wooden stick throughout. Filter the Gum Arebica after it cools down. Take 500gms of the paper pulp. Pour in the filtered gum arebica. Merged it is properly. Then add 2.25 kg of white ink powder. Make this mixture soft and firm as textured dough, clean the mould with water and dry it. For fibre mould apply of Oil and Soap mixture from within. If it is a rubber mould apply Natural Shell Dust. Take the paper mache and roll it in a circular form with 1 feet radius. Use Natural Shell Dust while rolling. Keep the rolled paper mache on the mould and start pressing it, with help of stencil brush. Remove the excess paper mache. Press the paper mache with your hands, so that the impressions of the mould would get embossed properly. In case you see any gaps, fill up the same with small piece of paper mache. Merge it properly from all sides, so that it doesn’t look like a patch. In this manner, you can fill up the front side and back side of the idol. Stick the paper pieces with the help of binding gum, leaving 1-inch distance from the border. While sticking see to it that there are no air bubbles in between. Apply 2 to 3 layers of paper pieces. Seal the border with long dough strands. Join the moulds and tighten it. Seal the inner joints and the base with this long dough strands. Use Gum Arebica for sticking. In this manner you can also fill up the Lord Ganesha’s hands. Keep the mould for drying for 1 to 1.5 days in sunlight. Slowly open the mould either from the face portion or from the middle portion. Remove each part one by one.

To smoothen the surface of Ganesha use of 80 & 120 polish paper. Be careful while polishing, else the ornaments will get defaced. For joining of Ganesha hands, use paper mache and Gum Arebica. After joining of Ganesha hands with the help of polish paper or metal file smoothen the joints.

These idols disintegrated easily upon submersion in water, as compared to idols made from plaster- of- Paris, which take significantly longer to disintegrate. A notable aspect is that, paints used are non-toxic, thus contributing significantly to the control over pollution of the environment.The volunteers under this project collectively make these idols for the Ganapati festival every year. In the year 2008, the organisation prepared and distributed nearly 3500 Lord Ganesh idols.

The Foundations collects used (but not torn) cloths, old utensils, old text books, and blank pages of note books (to convert them in new note books ) and old toys (non battery operated ) and many more. These article are properly serviced and then distributed the families of poor students, in order to encourage them to send their children to school. The cloths and utensils so collected are also distributed amongst the people affected by natural calamities and disasters. The distribution is done in different needy areas all over Maharashtra. Thus far, around 7,84,000 pieces of different types of clothes and around 3,00,000 utensils, have been distributed to more than 2,00,000 needy people. In addition, approximately 55,000 students from 182 schools have been given different articles, including clothing, for their use. Clothes and utensils were also distributed in flood affected areas across Maharashtra and in Mumbal during the unprecedented and devastating floods of 26th july 2005.

Torn clothes or pieces of the cloth are collected by devotees and converted into quilts, which are 

then gifted to needy workers, students, women and old persons. The volunteers, both men and 

women are imparted training on how to make quilts. So far, 2148 pieces of quilts have been prepared and distributed amongst needy people.
The major distribution of quilts weaved under this programme happens under the Kolhapur Medical Camp which is held annually in the rural areas of Kolhapur. To hear it from the horse’s mouth the volunteers who have been part of the Camp would be the best people to tell you what these quilts mean to the poor who have to battle harsh winters.

Many remote places in India have no electricity even today. Many students from these places have to walk for almost two hours a day one way to reach school. The lack of electricity prevents the students from studying after sunset. Poor families even cannot afford electricity, which is expensive. The candles and matchboxes collected from people will be distributed to these families to enable their children to study during night too. The Sanstha has distributed candles and matchboxes to over many poor and needy families in Ratnagiri, Chiplun, Karjat, Kothimbe, kadv, Kolhapur, amalner and Badlapur.

The objective of this programme is to explain the importance of cleanliness. The volunteers of the sanstha clean public schools, hospitals and places of public faith. The volunteers also run campaigns to increase awareness about cleanliness and health in slums. The work done so far is
A] Hospital Cleaning:Nair Hospital-Mumbai Central,Podar Hospital-Worli,K.E.M. Hospital
and Tata Memorial Cancer Hospital-Parel,Cooper Hospital-Juhu,Radhebai Watoomal Trust Hospital-Mahim.

D] Slum Cleaning:
B.D.D.Chawl-Shivadi,Mahim machhimar Vasahat all the places were cleaned complitly.Each program was attended by about 400 to 500 volunteers.
E] Ganapati re immersion :
Lord Ganesh idols are usually made of Plaster of Paris and, therefore,
take a long time to completely dissolve in water. Consequently, theseidols are washed back to the shore, which is certainly not a pleasantsight to behold. 

The DMVs, along with the volunteers of its sister
organisation Shree Aniruddha Upasana Foundation, then undertake the re-immersion of such idols in the deeper waters with the help of boats.
The beaches are also fully cleaned and spruced up with infrastructural support from the Municipal authorities by way of garbage vans, equipments, etc.

Ahilya is the personification of the misery of the Indian women; caught between the injustice of society and that of her husband. The Ahilya Sangh has been formed for suitably equipping women with the requisite strength and resolve to counter any exploitation and to face any adversity with fortitude. Under this project, ancient Indian martial arts needed for the self protection of women are taught ‘free of cost’. Besides, all women who have been wronged, or are facing a crisis situation in their lives, receive support from the ‘Ahilya Sangh’

Till date, more than 800 ladies have been trained under the Ahilya Sangh Project. The Ahilya Sangh also undertakes tree plantation projects across Maharashtra. Till date, Thousands of trees have been planted across Maharashtra. The Sangh also takes care of the planted trees.

To free society of unnecessary ritual and blind faith, P.P. Bapu has himself written the Shreemad Purushartha Grantharaj. Grantharaj will be comprised of is a 7 parts 5 main parts and 2 subparts, of which the first three have been launched.

Every Thursday before the discourse, Parampujya Aniruddha Bapu explains the developments in sciences and technology to the devotees. This helps the people to rid themselves of misconceptions.Bapu has explained the subjects such as solar heat, constellation, black holes, sound,diet, obesity and other illnesses to eliminate misunderstandings.

India is a land of various languages and culture. Unity can be achieved through the medium of language. It is essential for every Indian to study at least one other Indian language besides his mother tongue. This will inculcate a feeling of brotherhood amongst Indians and will promote national integration to make the nation strong.
Classes to learn different Indian languages have been started from June 18,2001. Many volunteers are already studying different Indian languages, apart from their mother tongue which, in the time to come, will become very much helpful part for national integration in its truest sense.
