On February 8th, 2020 at the Muni Seva Ashram, in a small village called Goraj, about 60km outside of Vadodora, India —The Everyday Gita served food to 100 handicapped girls and women who’ve been outcast by society due to their disabilities. A fresh, home-cooked Indian meal was served consisting of the following food items:
Vegetable sabji
Khaman
Puri (bread)
Dal (lentil soup)
Rice
Salad
Ladus (sweets)
In addition to the meals, we also provided 5 fans for the ashram’s newest building to aid the girls and women during the blistering summer months and monsoon season.
The Muni Seva Ashram is an abode for differently-abled women of ages 18+. The sanctuary was started in 1986 with the mission to enable, empower, and encourage comprehensive care of these less-privileged challenged, and needy - yet deserving - girls and women. The ashram is an assisted living, residential facility which is a shelter for close to 100 such sisters and daughters of society. Here every effort is made to improve the quality of their lives by providing deep care, respect, dignity, purpose, and fulfillment.
Due to worsening social conditions and the subsequent rejections these women are facing from their societies, about 200 admission applications are pending - resulting in expansion and extension in progress to include at least 100 more such girls and women in the giving program. The ashram is committed to helping those less fortunate in all facets of life and even has many other units like a school, home for senior citizens, and medical center.
The Muni Seva Ashram, like The Everyday Gita’s core message, believes that every soul is beautiful and precious - fully worthy of and deserving of care, peace, joy, and love. Those hungry, orphaned, or disabled in the world are no different than us - as we all have the same souls and are living the same life. Together, we can help each other realize our true purposes - uplifting one another and achieving happiness: one meal at a time.
Jai Shree Krishna.
