Project Balaram - India
This widow was left in
Vrindaban many years
ago when she was very
young. She spends her
days caring for the stray
animals who give her
their unconditional love
and affection.
Assistance for Widows and Pilgrims:
- Widows, pilgrims and the dying who are
left
in Vrindaban are given help according to
their
needs.
- The cost of wood for cremation has become
too expensive for many of the poor, we provide
burial rites according to their individual religion
for
those left alone to die.
- Many traditionally come to die in this sacred
region.
- They have nothing other than what they get
through begging. When they collect a little
extra money, they ask to borrow our cooking
pots and some cooking fuel. They cook
for
the poor and distribute a hot meal to those
in
need. It is very touching to see this
in todays
world, where so many people with so much
more just walk by the dying and suffering.
Many days when they only have a very small
amount of food, you still see them sharing
with the stray animals.
