Community Initiative by Gemstoneuniverse and Astromandir! An opportunity given by God to serve his elderly subjects who have been abandoned by their kith and kin and we feel blessed!<\/strong><\/p>\n

On 18th<\/sup> September 2010 during the holy Ganesha festival , Gemstoneuniverse and Astromandir was given an opportunity to be a part of the social services rendered by Aashraya Seva Trust<\/strong> and Kadamba Friends Association<\/strong> to serve the almighty\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s elderly subjects.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Aashraya\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/strong> a home for the aged was started for the purpose of serving aged women in the fag-end of their lives that have been abandoned by their kith and kin. This Home was visualized as a residence with a homely atmosphere so that the senior Citizen\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s would be not feel up- rooted from the surroundings to which they were accustomed to and to fill their remaining years with much better comfort, care and attention.<\/p>\n

The team at Gemstoneuniverse.com and Astromandir feel blessed that in the IT city of Bangalore that houses several corporate bigwigs we were given the divine opportunity of Annadana-the divine gift of donating grain and serving the elderly.<\/p>\n

As a part of the programme a divine Ganpathi Homa<\/strong> was performed where we prayed for these elderly family members of ours and also for all our patrons at Gemstoneuniverse.com and Astromandir. It was a moving experience!<\/p>\n
