One of the sadhanas leading to God is the
realization of the Karma Yoga of service. Such service purifies the heart by
eradicating the negative qualities of egoism, jealousy, superiority complex
etc., and promoting the divine qualities of humility, pure love, tolerance,
mercy etc. One begins to realize oneness with God and unity of existence. A
person is remembered by his deeds and not by his financial status. We are a non-profit N.G.O with the primary objective of protecting orphans, destitute women, the physically handicapped, AIDS-affected children, and the elderly. This humanitarian center was established in the year 1945 by an elderly couple Shri. S. V. Iyer and Dr. V. Mangalam with just three kids and the blessings of SWAMI SIVANANDA OF RISHIKESH . An institution with more than 50 years of recorded services to thousands of poor orphans, we have helped them to become productive citizens. We not only provide food, education and shelter, but also instill character and morals to help them grow, learn and eventually become independent. Many, including former Prime Minister of India, Shri PANDIT JAWAHARLAL NEHRU have visited our ashram and witnessed our committed work. We are presently taking care of 300 children and 80 poor, elderly people, all of whom are accepted with love and affection. We are a "National Awardee" institution recognized by the Government of India in 1983. Established in 1945 with just 3 kids, Sivananda Saraswathi Sevashram or more popularly known as "Sivananda Ashram/Orphanage/Gurukulam" has now grown to be one of the MOST APPARENT and WELL-RECOGNIZED social institution in India today.
