“Charity Universal Protects All Generations.“
“தருமம் எங்கினும் தலை தனைக் காக்கும்.”
– Servant of God Fr.Louis Savinien Dupuis
Welcome to Dharuma Surabi (Springs of Charity)
Dharuma Surabhi inspired from Amudha Surabhi
Amudham means milk which is flowing from the cows naturally throughout the world.
Likewise,
Dharuma Surabhi means charity which should flow from every family naturally and systematically throughout the world. This concept is visualised from the poem of Louis Savenian Dupuis,
“தருமம் எங்கினும் தலை தனைக் காக்கும்.”
“Charity universal protects all generations.“

Rev. Fr. A. S.

Fraternal Life Communities
Fraternal Life Communities were organised in every village of the then South Arcot district which was later on bifurcated into Villupuram, Kallakurichy and Cuddalore districts of Tamilnadu and Puducherry and Karaikal districts of the Union Territory of Puducherry from the year 1976 onwards casually and FLCs were formed systematically from the year 1983 after the Coady Seminars.
Inter Religious Friends movement
Puducherry has a rich heritage of many unique features of national and international importance. One among them is the unique way of peaceful living in Puducherry by the people of different religions.
This unique character has been expressed on many occasions by many events.
Famco Family
Family Development Cooperative Thrift and Credit Society Ltd., (FAMCO) – A Multi State Cooperative Society (Regn. No. MSCS/CR/307/2009)
FAMCO is established out of the dire need of helping the farmers and the rural poor from their everlasting indebtedness and supporting them to make a regular income for decent livelihood. Scientific studies have been conducted in villages in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry to understand the factual situation of the poor and the farmers in terms of their economic status. Based on such studies, and understanding of models that had been tested in various parts of the country, FAMCO evolved as a cooperative society catering exclusive to the needs of marginalized and poor people.
Punidha Annai Teresa Orudal Dharuma Surabhi (PATODS)
Every human body is an example of perfect unity as one body in collaboration with all its members particularly body, mouth, eye, nose and ear. From the moment of conception the body of the Child enjoys the support of the Mother’s body until it is born as a separate body. In a way there is a natural bond between the body of the Mother and Child with the body of the Father, Hence the humanity as a whole need to work like ONE BODY (ORUDAL) as the body of the United Nations or as well as other world bodies.
Centre for Universal Culture (CUC)
Tamil literature contains three aspects of human life concerning their behaviours namely
Aram – Principles of living
Porul – Principles of earning to live
Inbam- Principles of living and using the earned things for a happy life
The principles of living are explained in many literatures by many authors of the literatures. All of them stress the aspect of culture of living together for attaining millions of good. It is rooted in the proverbial statement of Tamil literature i.e. “Koodi Vazhnthaal Kodi Nanmai”, meaning, “Living together amounts to Million Good”.
