You must give your
body, mind, and speech to ‘the welfare of the world’.
…The poor, the illiterate, the ignorant, the afflicted- let these
be your God’.
Know that service to these alone is the highest religion. |

Sri Ramakrishna Ashrama,
Rajkot has been serving the suffering humanity through its various philanthropic
activities for about eight decades. The inspiration lies in the life
and teachings of Sri Ramakrishna, Ma Sarada Devi and Swami Vivekananda
who were the embodiments of loving service to all, irrespective of caste,
colour and creed.
The Ideal is to serve the ‘GOD IN MAN’. The monks, the devotees
and the volunteers of the Ashrama who offer their humble service in
the Dispensary considers it to be a worship of the DIVINITY that lies
in ALL.

and poor patients of Rajkot city and its surrounding areas by offering

Cerebral
Palsy Rehabilitation Centre
Cerebral Palsy Centre :
Children with cerebral palsy disorder were coming to the Physiotherapy
Department for treatment. Unfortunately, it was found that the basic
quality-based facilities for their treatment is lacking not only in
Rajkot, but also in the Saurashtra region. Guardians of these children
have to meet heavy financial expenses for their regular treatment. The
parents were also found to be quite unaware of the details of this disease.
They also suffer from psychological pressures. Children with symptoms
of Cerebral Palsy need special care and technique to give them the basic
ideas of hygiene, learning and education.
The children attend the center twice or thrice in a week, but they have
to carry a regular exercise routine. So, the center tries to train the
parents simultaneously, so that they can take personal care of the children
also at their homes. Regular counseling is also done of the guardians
of the children, in order to help them to cope with the situation. The
center tries to serve these children in all possible ways by providing
free equipments like wheel-chair etc. whenever necessary. |
