An Appeal To Help The Senior Citizens.

October 25, 2009

SRI : || Hare Krishna. Namaskaram to All . Our Mutts ,AchAryAs and many Kind Hearted Peope have been rendering great services in protecting, preserving and promoting our treasure of The Great SampradAyam, Culture and Traditions. Besides they have also put up Schools, Colleges, Kalyana Mandapams, places for stay in Divya Desams and for Pithru Karyams in many cities etc which are solid contributions for the welfare of our people. But not much has been done to the Senior Citizens, who are facing great hardships due to lack of phisycal, financial and emotional support which really is the greatest need for elders. The present day life style is changing very fast, whether we like it or not. The living conditions of elders, whose population is exploding, is becoming more and more tough and pathetic. Seniors who have been so much tied to our way of life, are finding themselves as fish out of water. Espcially those who are forced to live in adverse circumstances and who are living without physical support, are totaly frustrated, as they can neither live as they are made to or change themslves to the pressing conditions, which are unacceptable to them. We find our Mutts and Sincere SishyAs are doing great Services in renovating needy Temples,Celebrating various auspicious days like Thiru Nakshatrams etc at enormous, adding unimaginably priced jewelleries to The Dieties etc.Sincerely Our Lord does not need such costly items to adore Him, as He Himself is The Greatest of Gems. It will be an unparalelled Service. if they can come forward to put up Old Age Homes, where our way of life is ensured, so that our elders can lead their lives as they are accustomed to , in the evening of their lives For Great Institutions , it should not be a difficult task to promote such ldeal Old Age Homes and take care of the elders to live in peace, practicing their day to day activities. Influential people, who certainly will be aware of the precarious conditions of elders living in the present day, can & must take up this Service with the help of all those who are interested in this very needy and essential service. This will also promote a sense of awareness among the younsters to come forward to take part in such noble endeavours, not only in the interest of our elders but also in their own interest, as time will fly & they themselves will be Senior Citizens soon. There are many Old Age Homes, run commercially as also on humanitarian grounds, but the conditions like food, environment etc therein does not suit our elders . We pray for this Service from those who sympathise with our elders, esp The Mutts & Ashrams , whose ordained duty is to take care of our elders , who have done so much to Mutts & Ashram when they were young. This wil also help passing on the traditional knowledge to the youngsters by The Old Age People who are housed in such old age homes run by Mutts & Ashrams.Veda Patasalaas can be orgaised in such Homes for the benefit of coming generations.

Regards, Kombur Vankeepuram Madhavan.

Please Help The Needy as it is Service To God.

This is an excellent suggestion! It's time that our community undertakes such

activities. Though I'm not sure if our Mutts/Ashrams can undertake the

complexity of efforts involved.

The living conditions of elders, whose population is exploding, is becoming more

and more tough and pathetic. Seniors who have been so much tied to our way of

life, are finding themselves as fish out of water. Espcially those who are

forced to live in adverse circumstances and who are living without physical

support, are totaly frustrated, as they can neither live as they are made to or

change themslves to the pressing conditions, which are unacceptable to them.

Our Lord does not need such costly items to adore Him, as He Himself is The

Greatest of Gems.

To formulate action plan the Mutt can utilize the services of Sri Madhavan, who has been actively involved in raising and maintaining such centres .Mutt has the financial resources and Sri Madhavan has the necessary expertise . Why not mutt try to initiate a pilot project on a modest scale and if successful can expand it futher to as may be felt necessary.If possible, the Mutt can explore the possibility by setting up a small committe to examine the issue in consutation with Mr Madhavan .N Bhashyam --- On Sun, 10/25/09, tskraghu2001 <tskraghu2001 wrote:tskraghu2001 <tskraghu2001 Re: An Appeal To Help The Senior Citizens.To:

Dasaya vignabanam.

The old age homes can become the traditional harbours to swim in the sea of our life like ocean. It can help them to reach Thirunadu by hearing and telling sriman narayanan's namavalis. Those initiated this may please continue this endeavour so that it will be one of the routes to spread our sampradayams,

Hi,

There is a Divya Kshetram known as Dodda Mallur, which was patronized by the Sri Vaishnava Guru, Lord Ramanuja, soon after he arrived in Karnataka (11th century A.D.). The temple is the abode of Lord Aprameya, His Consort Aravindavalli, Lord Navaneetha Krishna and Alwars of Sri Vaishnavism (Chennapatna Taluk, Bangalore district).

Dr.R.S.Varadaraj ,Founder of Jai Sri Krishna Charitable Trust: 27200024 / 27200022 / 27200023 is running a old-age home very close to Aprameyar temple. He also gets good medication and food for the people. Old people here are very well treated by providing small individual rooms with attached bathroom and toilet facilities. There are people constantly looking after for their needs also. He is running this trust with lot of devotion for Aprameya Swami and our sect people. One wishing to either help him in rendering this service or utilize it for needy people.

Om Namo Bhagavathe Vasudevaya ||

Jai Shree Krishna.

H.H Srimad Andavan also blessed a orphanage called 'Anantha Ashramam' during his camp at Hosur enroute to Salem. The representatives were called back by HH after they left having his darshan. They were blessed with his anugraham along with a big cheque. The grace of our acharyan spreads accross age,caste & creed.
