Food Security for Saints Living in Forests

by GYANVAHINI RESEARCH FOUNDATION · Forest ashrams and caves across India

About this campaign

Deep in forests and hills, many saints spend their lives in tapasya, meditation and the study of scriptures. They live far from villages and towns, with no fixed income and often no road to their ashram or cave.

During the monsoon and winter, even the little food that reaches them stops. Elderly saints fall ill with no medicine nearby. Gyanvahini volunteers carry dry ration and basic medicines on foot to these remote places, so that those who keep our spiritual traditions alive never go hungry.
