Seva
(Compassionate Service)
|
Vanamali
Ashram is a small
ashram situated in Rishikesh (North India).
We have been helping
the poor children of our
locality for more than twenty years.
Vanamali Ashram has taken this scriptural injunction as their
motto for their work with the poor.
"Manava Seva - Madhava Seva".
"Service to humanity is equivalent to service to God".
Hence we never miss an opportunity to do what we can for the less
fortunate
in our society both in Rishikesh and in a little village called Gajja
in the
Garwal Himalayas. we consider ourselves most fortunate in being in a
place
where such service is urgently needed.
We are able to do this only through
the generosity of our friends, relatives and
Vanamali devotees all over the
world.

Vanamali Ashram is a small
ashram situated in Rishikesh. We have been
helping
the poor children of our
locality for about twenty years. We
have
been distributing clothes,
blankets and sweaters to the children
and
the poor people but we
thought it would be better if we could
give
them some work by which
they could earn a living without the
burden
of having to accept
charity. Hence we taught a few of the
young
girls to do these wild
flower cards. These serve a double
purpose
since it teaches them to
appreciate the beauty of the nature,
which
surrounds them. They have
begun to notice so many small,
delicate
plants and flowers,
which they had never noticed before.
They
have to pick the flowers
from the jungles and fields and hedges
and
not from garden. They have
to press them for at least one week
before
pasting them into designs
of their own making. We provide the
natural
paper for them, which we
buy from Delhi. All the profits from
the
sales of these cards go back
to the girls. This helps them to buy
many
things for their family as
well as support their own education
and school fees for their
sisters and brothers.
