Mahasati Manjula Shriji Maharaj
Mahasati Manjulashri Matri Seva Prakalp Project was the result of great thought in Manav Mandir Mission Trust. With thousands of old age homes in the country, cost- ing crores of rupees for setup and lakhs further in service and maintenance, still making individual feel vulnerable due to unknown environments as they have to leave their beloved families, houses, and neighborhoods. We thought of working out a way such that to serve them more efficiently without making them feel vulnerable. We came up with a revolutionary idea to deliver the best service to destitute, en- dured, and helpless women at their doorstep so that utilize these services at homely atmosphere.
This concept was brought to take care of their mental and emotional health along with physical health. As it name suggests, it provides services to only women. This project started with the objective of issuing services to destitute, exploited and suf- fering women. The deprived women are provided with food, clothes, medications and other required things. Presently we have adopted 100 old aged mother who are in need and do not have supporting family members for their medical care. These mothers live at their own houses. We provide them essential goods and financial help every month. This project also include handicapped men and women. People from villages of Rajasthan including some from the himalayan hills are benifitting from the project. This project is supervised by Sadhvi Kanaklataji under the guid- ance of Pujya Acharyashri Roopchandraji Maharaj.
