Hello, I am Shashikant, visually impaired in both eyes, from Bhojpur district of Bihar. Through this sacred platform of our village, I respectfully bow to all the revered gurus associated with this forum, offer regards to our elder brothers and sisters, and extend loving greetings to our younger brothers and sisters. Namaskar, friends. Dear friends, today is the 6th of January, and it is the death anniversary of our great luminary, the great inspiration, Shri Louis Braille. Just two days ago, his birth anniversary was observed, and due to this reason we could not share the audio message at that time. On this occasion, we extend our greetings on Louis Braille Jayanti as well as his death anniversary, and today we pay him our heartfelt tribute. Even today, that great soul lives on in our hearts and among us, and will remain immortal forever. This is because of what he did—he proved himself to be a source of light in the lives of millions of visually impaired people across the world. He truly proved this line: “If you find stones on your path, turn them into steps; and if the darkness is deep, become a lamp yourself.” When difficulties came before him, he himself became the lamp—burning himself to give light to others. Today, the entire world is illuminated by his light. Millions of visually impaired people are walking on the right path shown by him and achieving their respective goals. Even today, our Louis Braille is immortal and will remain so forever. It is our supreme duty to preserve and nurture the legacy he has given us. When he has given us so much, what should we do in return? You can imagine what that time must have been like—when there were no schools and no digital world like today. How thoughtful and visionary a person he must have been.
Our beloved listeners, Ramkaran sends you his heartfelt greetings—namaskar, adaab, shikāl, and good morning. As we all know about Louis Braille, the great person who dedicated his life to the visually impaired: Louis Braille was born on the 4th of January, and his death anniversary is observed on the 6th of January, 1906. It is a day of great joy. When I think about it, I feel that he was born on the 4th of January and left this world on the 6th of January, 1906—but through his inventions, especially the Braille script, we are able to recognize and read names like Ram, Shyam, Ghanshyam, and Durga. Respected R. K. Bhalla sir rightly said that promoting Braille is necessary, and indeed it should be done. Yes, friends, when I order the Reliance Foundation magazine and read it openly, many people keep watching and wonder what Ram is reading. This creates curiosity and awareness among people. We would like to say the same to all of you: this Braille script, which has been created for all of us by the great Louis Braille, should be promoted and spread widely so that more and more people can understand it. Through this medium, people come to know and realize that yes—this is Braille, and this is how visually impaired people read and connect with the world.
I, Ramchandra Verma, resident of Gram Solah Kala, Tehsil Bagheru, District Badha, Uttar Pradesh, am 100% visually impaired. I have always wanted to prepare for the Railway exams, specifically for Railway Group B. To prepare, I have been using all available resources related to my disability. Some people have limited access to technology, like mobile phones, but even those who do not have mobile phones can improve their preparation with the help of Mobile Vaani. I sincerely thank all the workers of Mobile Vaani for their support.

Greetings to all listeners and the management of Hamari Vaani. This is Ranjeet Kumar, 100% visually impaired, speaking from Purnia, Bihar. I respectfully greet all members of the Hamari Vaani team and especially regard Munnalal Bharti Ji as an elder brother, whom I sincerely salute. I trust that my message will be published, as I have always received helpful responses from him in the past. I would like to request the Divya Chat Box (government scheme) helpline number, which provides information related to government schemes for persons with disabilities, especially for the blind. This information was shared earlier on Hamari Vaani, but I missed it and would like it again so I can benefit from it and help spread awareness. I also wish to mention that the contact number shared by Munnalal Bharti Ji is currently not receiving incoming calls; kindly clarify why this is so and when it will be active, as I would like to discuss some personal queries by phone. Thank you.
Greetings to all listeners of Hamari Vaani. This is Rajdev Yadav speaking from Prayagraj district, Uttar Pradesh, and I am 100% visually impaired. After a long time, I am sharing my thoughts on this sacred platform. Although I am not able to record messages often, I regularly listen to Hamari Vaani. On the occasion of Louis Braille Day, I would like to say that Braille has played, and will continue to play, a vital role in the education and development of visually impaired persons. The contribution of Louis Braille is invaluable, and Braille remains the foundation of education for the blind.
My name is Brijwan Kumar Gautam, and I am from Unnao district, Uttar Pradesh. I am 100% visually impaired. Greetings to all listeners of Hamari Vaani. I would like to clarify information about the Braille Press magazine from Bahadurgarh. A total of 12 magazines are provided in a year for a fee of only ₹200. This is a monthly magazine, meaning one issue is delivered every month, not all at once. If anyone has not understood the details or needs help placing an order, they may contact me, and I will assist them in ordering the magazine.
Hello, this is I. K. Bhalla, a retired music teacher from Delhi, speaking on Awaaz Ki Duniya. Greetings to everyone. Earlier, I had recorded a message explaining the two phases (Paksha) of the Hindu lunar month. I would now like to briefly explain the first and last dates of these phases. The first day of each Paksha is called Pratipada, which marks the beginning of the lunar month or the respective phase. The last day of the Shukla Paksha is Purnima, when the full moon is visible. Similarly, the last day of the Krishna Paksha is Amavasya, when the moon is not visible.
