Episode #55 of The Hindu Parenting Podcast is a conversation with Dr. Malladi Srinivasa Sastry, a practising psychiatrist, about the unique way he has designed his organisation Hindumitra, to function as a helping hand for individuals and families in need.
It’s time for Hindus to realise that we should play an active role in society. The concept of grihastashrama was celebrated for being the backbone of society. Dr. Malladi advocates spending three hours a week being a friend to individuals, families, society and environment. This social outreach based on the universal values of Sanatana dharma is an important step in developing a missionary Hindu outreach into the local communities with a spirit of service. Hindumitra’s trained volunteers conduct welfare programs such as home visits, regular satsanghs, imparting holistic education etc. in Visakhapatnam, India.
We also speak about advocating and speaking up for Sanatana dharma without fear or hesitation, drawing inspiration from Narada Maharishi, who spread the glory of Sri Mahavishnu among the asuras also!
Dr. Malladi Srinivas Sastry is a psychiatrist by profession with over two decades of medical experience in India, the U.K., and Singapore. He has led teams in developing the services at advanced psychiatric hospitals. Additionally, he has served as a faculty member at several medical schools and has also mentored and taught junior doctors and colleagues. He has been conducting workshops and webinars on application of Sanatana Dharma in societal, family and individual wellbeing.
