Camps-Dental, Pediatric & Cancer
DMS conducts camps for villagers, particularly children. These camps have been in association with Apollo hospitals, Jeevodaya , a hospice dedicated to terminally ill cancer patients and the like.
From the first time in the history of Tamil Nadu, a dental camp for children was conducted with the help of Apollo Hospitals where the extraction and filling was done at site i.e. at the place of the patients. It is the normal practice to have the patient come to the clinic.
Cancer camps with Jeevodaya are done with great emphasis on counselling. When slides of persons suffering from oral cancer are shown, the impact is very deep. Men reduce their smoking/chewing of tobacco and children seeing these slides do not get tempted to try tobacco at all.
The level of hygiene is very low in the village homes. Children do not have the culture of brushing their teeth or combing their hair or washing their socks/clothes or cutting their nails. With a view to inculcating this attitude, DMS has evolved a system of weekly checks and students are motivated with prizes if they do well on these counts. |

SOUND THERAPY
All religions have their own Mantras, which, if chanted in a particular tone and mode, are known to create vibrations in the human body and mind and alleviate suffering-mental or physical. For instance when the word "Kleem" is uttered, the thrust given by the tongue influences the nerve beneath it, which, in turn, activates the heart, and expands the bronchials. Chanting of Vishnu Sahasranamam lowers High BP, Lalitha Sahasranamam normalizes low BP, Maha Rudram rectifies mental disorders and epilepsy.
Member of DMS , at the request of the patient, chant relevant Mantras in unison, in physical contact with the person suffering, forming a chain around him/her, thereby cumulatively charging the weak "aura" of such person. Faith is a prerequisite on the part of the person suffering. The entire service is done free of cost.

LEPROSY SUPPORT
Giving a sense of dignity to persons with leprosy is one goal DMS holds very dear to itself.
DMS serves food to persons with leprosy from 1985 - without break - (even before DMS was formally started), DMS has been doing weekly poor-feeding with delicious food items prepared by its Members or by ordering from high grade restaurants.
Shri Kamakshi Baba, has said that some very great souls are born as lepers and they spend their life in deep prayers without being disturbed by Society. DMS requests persons with leprosy to whom poor feeding is done to pray for the welfare of the Donors of food.
For persons whose soles/feet are bruised with leprosy sores and who find it difficult to walk, DMS has provided wheel-chairs.
Once a year DMS supplies lungies for men, sarees for women and where required, rain-coat sheets.
Persons with leprosy are invited to join the Members in the annual get-together on 19th February every year at Village Alamadhi. On this day, they form part of the group and join and participate in prayers and Homam and thereafter for lunch. |
