FROM THE LIGHT OF THE RAYS”
For Gurukula Oli- Great Human Educational Endeavor

Thank you Dear Motherly Mentors:

We express our heartfelt gratitude to our mother of Gurukula Oli

Helenamma Oli. Thank you so much, ma. You have sacrificed yourself

1
wholesomely for this life and Ray’s growth. You have given us your work,
time, and assiduity. You are carrying lakh and lakh of debt on your head only
for this life. But regardless of money and bending debt, you are fulfilling all
our needs, including college and school fees, and growing us with holistic
food. Even though all these financial problems drag you down, you are
holding us strongly and taking this life chariot forward. Thank you,
Amma. And in Google Meets, you always made us happy with your care and
concern. You tolerated all our naughtiness. You pledged all your jewels,
including your wedding chain, and spent them for our studies. Your
thoughts are always filled with how to pay the debt and interest. You are
accepting all these humiliations for our educational endeavor. Ma, only you
can make such a huge sacrifice, ma. We cannot just say thank you, ma. It is
more and more than that ma.

We wish to thank our mother of the Great Human Educational

Endeavour, Iyarkkaiyamma Oli. Thank you, Amma. Amidst your heavy

and hectic PhD work of recording our dream life, you are spending your
valuable time with each ray as per requirement. Confirming our growth in
studies over the phone or messages. Even though we are far away from you,
you are always thinking about us and predicting our mental health and
thought processes. You conducted an individual meeting with us whenever
you had time. You are holding each of us, especially during our fall-downs,
and lifting us up. You balanced the situations to hold and protect each ray
and be with us during our stumble. You prepared new lessons for us at each
meeting. And Amma you always insisted on the importance of food and body.
Thank you amma, you created and gave us the 13 aspects to share in our

2
weekly reporting time in the google meets which made our sharing a
wholesome one.

We express our extreme gratitude to our guiding light, Moappa Oli.

other pole rays. And for each meeting you came with great life lessons to
share with us. Appa you only initiated all the initiatives in these 25 ray family
meets. These days you share everything that is running inside your brain.
And you expressed your love, longings, desires, wishes in all through the 333
days. Even after the end of the meet you played with the meet graphics. And
all through you made the meeting lively by making fun and humor. You
