Ekaaksh Foundation Guru Kripa Ashram – A Mission of Compassion
Ekaaksh Foundation Guru Kripa Old Age Home (Vanaprastha Ashram) was established on September 20, 2022, with a vision to provide a safe, dignified, and loving home for elderly individuals who have been abandoned or neglected by their families. Over the past two years, our ashram has not only provided shelter and care but has also become a symbol of change—sending a strong message against the growing insensitivity towards parents in today’s society.
Our Inspiration
A mother and father dedicate their entire lives to raising their children, ensuring they have the best upbringing. But why is it that, after marriage, some children turn away from their parents? Why do they abandon the very people who sacrificed everything for them?
With a deep understanding of this painful reality, my wife and I took the pledge to establish this old age home—not just as a refuge for the elderly, but as a movement to change mindsets. We wanted to ensure that such neglect and abandonment do not take root in our own family and that our future generations grow up with values of love, respect, and gratitude.
Our Philosophy
We believe in the simple yet powerful lesson from nature: “Change yourself first, and transforming society will follow.” While we may not change the entire world, if even ten families connected to us shift their mindset, it will be a victory for us.
As a doctor, I see it as my responsibility to instill these values in my family, so that my future generations know that someone in their lineage once stood for the service of humanity.
The Birth of Ekaaksh Foundation
The name Ekaaksh holds a special place in my heart—it is the name of my son. On the day he was born, the idea of Ekaaksh Foundation was born too. From that very moment, I knew that this foundation would be a reflection of love, service, and commitment to the elderly.
At Ekaaksh Foundation Guru Kripa Ashram, we are not just providing shelter; we are building a society that respects and values its elders. Join us in this mission to bring love, care, and dignity to those who once cared for us.
