Our Plea:
VAN does not receive any assistance from Government nor does it have any fixed properties. It is run with mercy of the philanthropies that think and act beyond their selves. Today VAN has its modest buildings including home for aged, mediation hall, center for Sanmarga aspirants (Sadhagars) and Sadhus, herbal garden and fruit orchard etc. by the benevolent support of the general public. Our prayer is that this endeavor should continue till the existence of sun and moon by the grace of Almighty and by the never ending kindness of the human beings to wipe the tears of the destitute and uncared. Please refer to the section our “plea” for to know why one should look beyond self, at all.
Schemes:
As enumerated earlier, this noble cause is served only by the general donations of the ardent public. Mainly, many people from all walks of life freely participate in the food schemes on their or their family members’ birth days, anniversaries or any event of their importance. The inmates of VAN eat food on their behalf on that session or day and pray for their well being in the Meditation hall in front of the ever maintained holy lamp. The details of the prevailing food scheme are elaborated in the section “Schemes”.
