Who We Are!?

Our mission is to provide a safe, respectful, and nurturing environment for senior citizens who are in need of care, companionship and dignity in their golden years.

At Vyenkatesh Ashram, we welcome elderly individuals both male and female who may be abandoned, neglected or have no one to look after them. With love, patience and compassion, we strive to create a homely atmosphere where they are not just cared for physically, but emotionally and mentally as well.

Founder President Message

"This Ashram is not a project... it is my prayer."
With folded hands and a humble heart, I welcome you to Vyenkatesh Ashram (Apno Se Dur…Ek Apna Ghar…) Old Age Home.

This Ashram was born not from money, but from pain the pain of seeing our elders neglected, lonely and forgotten by society. I saw mothers who once raised families now searching for food. I saw fathers who once guided homes now sitting alone, unheard. I couldn’t ignore it. I couldn’t walk away. So I chose to serve. In the quiet village of Mahuli, surrounded by nature and touched by divinity, I started Vyenkatesh Ashram with a simple aim to give every elder a home, a family and most importantly respect.
We do not just give food and shelter. We give love, dignity, and purpose to lives that still have so much wisdom and grace to offer. We celebrate their birthdays, care for their health, listen to their stories, and hold their hands when they feel alone.
This journey is not easy. We have no big funding, no government grants but we have something greater: faith and the blessings of those we serve. I invite you all to become a part of this divine work by your time, your support, your visit, or simply your prayers.

"Let us not measure life by years, but by the love we give and the dignity we preserve."
