A Year to remember for Thedal. Thank you.

This has been an eventful year for all of us. However, for Thedal there have been a lot of positives this year. We had more page views, more articles, more subscribers and several positive feedback messages about our efforts. This is a measure of how people are turning to spirituality more and more. It is really heartening to note that not only adults, but even children have developed a liking to our pages. Our primary objective has been to show how Sanatana Dharma can make everyone live a useful life by contributing to self, family and the society/country as a whole. It is reassuring to note that we are in the right path and gradually impacting more lives by this way.

Here are some impactful things that we want to share with all of you:

Publications in print media

During this year, we also had the opportunity to publish our articles in the leading daily, Dinamalar. As much as 6 articles got their way into the magazine as part of the regional editions or as part of the supplement Dinamalar. One of the articles was also published by the Hindu Sanga Cheithigal Magazine. We extend our gratefulness to the publishers of the magazines who helped us reach a wider audience

Meeting Children

We also got an opportunity to visit Cascade – a school which believes in our value system, to share with its participants some of the contents from our platform to children. The visits were a great success with the children learning about Sanatana Dharma at such an early age in their lives. We plan to expand our scope do more such sessions to children this year as well.

This year has helped us renew our faith and live our life to be worthy of living. We hope the coming year will bring us a lot of hope and cheer with the blessings of the Almighty. A very Happy New Year to all from Thedal!
