Mataji runs a langar with organic vegetables, laborers travel by bus and come to eat

New Delhi. Many luxurious farmhouses are seen on the road of Ram Mandir near Vasant Kunj in the capital Delhi, which are often closed, but at the gate of Kanchanashree, built in the middle of these farmhouses, every morning at breakfast, lunch and evening tea, about 200 people 250 laborers are found standing. The mistress of all these farmhouses, whom these people know by the name of Mataji, come to eat at her langar. The special thing is that from the vegetables to pulses to rice made in this langar, which is run without any government help, are organic. Most of these things are grown in the farmhouse itself.

Workers coming for many years, saving money for food

Ranjit Singh, a daily wage laborer who came to Delhi from Madhubani in Bihar, who is one of the daily food-eaters, said that he along with his colleagues work as laborers from 9 am to 5 pm every day for the construction work going on in the farmhouse here. , But get morning breakfast and evening tea from here. Ranjit says, ‘The address of this Mataji’s langar was told to me by the laborers who were already working in the farmhouse here. Now I am able to save about hundred rupees more everyday.

On the other hand, Sheela Mishra, who eats food with her ten-year-old son and younger daughter, said that she has been coming here from the slum near Munirka for three-four times a week for about three years. If there is no ticket available in the bus, then all three of us travel by bus and come here. Everyday we all get different types of food to fill our stomach. Now we are able to save three thousand rupees more by eating lunch here and taking food with us for my husband who is a street hawker many times. Not only me, for about 250-300 people who come here, Mataji is ‘Annapurna’, who is feeding us fresh food everyday.

I have become God’s postman, said Mataji

Aruna Goenka, who ran a langar for many years to feed laborers free food, said, ‘Now I have become God’s postman. He gives me something to do, so I am doing it with my ability without any selfishness. I do not want the publicity of this work of God.

Organic vegetables grow in the farmhouse, spices come from Rajasthan

He told, ‘There are organic food from vegetables to rice distributed in the langar, because I believe that what I eat myself, I should also feed others. I have planted organic vegetables on 80 percent of the land of the farmhouse. These vegetables are used in the food distributed at the gate. Not only this, we source organic spices, pulses, wheat etc from Rajasthan for Langar Prasad. I use these in my kitchen as well as in this langar that is served everyday. Everything goes with the blessings of the parents. I believe that it is our responsibility to provide nutritious food to those who are financially weak or helpless. The most harmful at this time are the refined oil and chemical-rich vegetables available in the market.

Food is made for about 300 people daily
He told, ‘My name is Aruna Goenka. Father was a Marwari businessman. He used to do business in Japan, where I was born. Later we all came back to Delhi. Here we settled in South Extension. Started langar here also. In South Ax also, people used to come from a distance of four-five kilometers to get clean water and eat langar. After that, she started arranging lunch for the patients coming here daily at All India Medical Institute. Meanwhile, we settled in Vasant Kunj Kanchanshree Farmhouse. From the laborers working in the farm house to the staff working in them, they had to go long distances for tea and lunch. Due to paucity of money, many times these laborers could not even eat their fill. In such a situation, first of all I got RO water tank installed at the gate of my farmhouse. From the very next day, I along with my staff made arrangements for some people from morning breakfast to lunch and evening tea at the gate of the farm house. I saw that every day the number of people coming for tea and food prasad at the gate is increasing. In such a situation, according to my accumulated capital and my ability power, I took the initiative to arrange prasad for maximum number of people. Now we have langar arrangements for 250 to 300 people everyday. Whatever I am doing by the grace of God, my parents have full financial contribution in it.
