10000+

Widows Impacted

A Help to those who need it.

Pure Devotion Foundation started in difficult times of Covid-19 to help the widows of Vrindavan who were facing food scarcity due to the lockdown. Started serving 80 matajis in the first month we reached 800+ within a few months and right now we are taking care of over 1000 widows in Vrindavan, Govardhan, Radha Kund, and Haridwar. Since the last two years, we have greatly impacted the lives of these widows who are abandoned by their families. Being shelterless at their advanced age and thousands of km away from their home town they have to face many challenges. They don't even have a proper shelter to stay in, so the last option is to beg or do domestic work in various homes. At this time we come to help them so that they don't have to beg or do any hard labour at this age. These widows come here from Bengal and engage themselves in Krishna bhakti sincerely to get Mukti in this life. So we take care that they don't have to worry about day-to-day needs and they can peacefully perform their sadhana bhajan. Our main purpose is that at this last stage of life they shouldn’t get disturbed for basic necessities, but should do their bhakti peacefully and achieve their aim Mukti for which they have come here. Apart from serving widows of Vrindavan we are actively serving devotees in yatras in various religious pilgrimages like Jagannath Puri; Vrindavan; Haridwar , Badrinath; Ganga Sagar; Kumbh Mela's etc. By providing cooked meal prasad to lakhs of devotees during famous and big yatras like Rath Yatra in Puri; Savan Kawad yatra in Haridwar; Ganga Sagar Mela ; Badrinath; Mundia Purnima Mela in Govardhan, etc...
