Story Of Deepahalli
Poverty is an issue that every generation faces. Deepahalli is a Hindi word that means, "a village of light." To that end, we wanted to create light in the midst of the different challenges that those living in Bengaluru face on a daily basis. Tune in to see how you can help us with our mission in Deepahall.
What does it really mean to say, “I’m in”? In this FatherSide Chat, Father Gene explores Ash Wednesday and Lent not as rituals of guilt, but as intentional renewal. A season to recommit, refocus, and choose something better for ourselves and those around us.
Some moments stay with us forever—the instant understanding clicks, or gratitude suddenly deepens. Father Gene reflects on recognizing “the good stuff”: learning, resilience, and the quiet sacrifices of those who came before us that made our own lives possible.
