Rajaram Shreedhar was 18 months of age, when he was afflicted by cerebral polio attack, which incapacitated his left hand and both his limbs He was provided formal education for 8 years. Those were the days, there was less awareness about the needs of the differently- abled ,due to which he had to quit. His early window to the world were through The BBC and Deutsche Welle [Voice of Germany]

His indomitable spirit made him self learn Astrology, and soon people started flocking to his door with their dreams, hopes and fears, for counseling.

A small incident which was instrumental to the start of Maithri. Whenever he went out on his wheelchair pushed by a volunteer in the streets.he would come across children loitering around in groups. One day when he asked them why they dont go to school ,they replied that they were drop-outs, because they had no money to buy books, notebooks or pay school fees. This incident prompted Sreedhar to start Maithri in 1991, with a few like minded friends contributing to the cause.
