On 17^th June, Parivaris visited “Paramashantidham” an old age home founded by Mahant Abanandgiri a disciple of Mahatapasvi Gagangiri Maharaj of Khopoli situated at Taloja village in the outskirts of Mumbai.This old age home with all basic amenities and excellent facilities houses 76 senior citizens .All the senior citizens of this home are either abandoned by their children or have no relatives to depend upon. The Trust takes care of their boarding , lodging and free medical check-ups and treatment.

We reached there at about 9.00 am.At about 9.30 all the old people who had gathered in the dining hall were served delicious idli-chatni and sweets.After breakfast all the inmates gathered in their prayer hall where Mahant Abanandgiri briefed us about their institution and their work.This organization which started in 1988 , has so far given succour to nearly 750 senior citizens.After few bhajans ,Shashimam Balse briefed everyone on P.P Swamijis lifesketch and Parijnan parivars objectives and goals.Then Shri Jagdishmam Balse and Nirmalapachi Balse distributed thermos flask and towels to all the inmates.Then Parivaris went to each and everybody’s room and had a nice chat with all of them.The inmates were very happy and asked us to visit them frequently.At about 1pm all were served delicious lunch.At 3 pm we took leave of them and headed back to Mumbai.The visit to old age home was very emotional reflecting how todays culture is taking the toll on seniors of all the communities.Our Prayers to P.P swamiji to give us strength to visit such old age homes every year and help them.
