It
was his father Vasu’s wish that his son should be a support to an orphan
girl that led Sivadasan to the St.Joseph Home, Pullazhi.
And he selected his life partner Ajitha from there.
The
wedding was held in the local temple according to traditional Hindu
custom. Fr. Joseph Vilangadan,
Director of the Home and Sister Maria played the role of girl’s parents.
Ajitha
isn’t an orphan entirely. Her father had left them 18 years ago after her mother
Saraswathy was paralysed below the waist.
While her mother was reconciled to her fate, she yearned that her
daughter should have a reasonable future.
It was then that the local people got involved and helped Ajitha
become an inmate of the orphanage.
At
the orphanage she studied SSLC, and underwent training in nursery
teachers’ course and computer. After
the wedding Ajitha and her husband were received at the Home with warm
enthusiasm and lighted candles by the inmates and staff.
“Today
is a blessed day in my life”, said Sivadasan, who runs a barbershop at .
“I feel like one who has conquered the world.
I only pray that this light in my heart may never be
extinguished.”
Her
mother, who could not attend the wedding, blessed and prayed for the
couple from the old age home where she stays.
