AAS Ashram Vision
AAS means HOPE…
There could not be true peace of mind in the entire world as long as a part of the world is suffering from poverty, hunger, disadvantage and other deprivations. Aspiring to build a brighter, better and secure future, AAS ashram envisions development of communities by promoting equality among all beings. AAS ashram was established as a charitable organization to support the poorest of the poor and needy people in 2012. Sadgurudev Satyashri utilized his personal savings, and started feeding around 40 people. Soon many volunteers came forward and AAS ashram started expanding its area of operation. Today core areas of work at AAS ashram are:
Fight against hunger : Shastras preach ‘Annam Parabrahmam’. The whole Brahma, the Divine Consciousness is hidden in the food. There are sufficient resources in this world to feed each and every person. Only the will to give and feed the hungry is required.
Uplifting of poor children : Despite all efforts condition of children in India continues to be pitiable. Child labour, forcible prostitution of young children is still prevalent. Giving them a better future is easier than one thinks. Even a donation of old clothes, utilities etc. can be of great help.
Help for physically challenged: There are around 70 million physically challenged people in India. AAS is trying to make this world a better place for them. Just a small gift of a hearing aid, a wheelchair or a Braille kit makes a huge difference.
Support for education : In India, 59 million children do not even have primary education. Providing education to under-privileged children will liberate them from burden and ties. Education can make them independent and respectable citizens. Sponsoring a poor child’s education can give him a new hope.
Service to elderly : Whatever may be the reason, but the fact is that elderly people are a neglected lot in India. They also suffer emotionally and financially. A gesture of love and companionship in their last phase of live can make their journey easy.
Medicines for ill : When a person is starving, hungry and ill, he cannot be taught the philosophies of religion of God. He needs food and medical assistance. Try to serve him… ‘Nar Seva Narayan Seva’
Women rights : The state of women in India is no secret to anyone. They are poorly fed, get little medical facilities and are sexually abused. They suffer cruelty and domestic violence. They don’t even enjoy the basic human rights. At AAS we believe that an educated and liberated woman can make a happy & healthy family and society.
Self awareness and environment: Today we are damaging our environment in the name of development. Air and water pollution has reached the alarming levels. Even the food we are eating is not safe. Apart from using the alternate source of energy, the need of the hour is also to save the environment from pesticides and chemicals.
