About Us

• Goal

  Holistic care to the departing Vaishnavas and care of those in need.

  Our goal is to serve the needs of our community members worldwide when they are hospitalized, sick, in an emotional crisis, in need of spiritual counseling or in any way require assistance from our experienced team volunteers.

• Mission

  Vaishnavas C.A.R.E. (Counseling, Assistance, Resource, and Education for the Terminally ill and those in Need) is a support system for patients and loved ones facing an end-of-life situation. It is dedicated to His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada who exemplified how to live one’s life in Krsna consciousness and in the end, taught us how to leave this temporary world.

• Vision

  Provide guidance, strength, support for those facing terminal illness and possibility of imminent death. For those who are capable, it mandates that we assist those facing death. In a supportive environment, we as volunteer caregivers must address the physical decline of the patient and the emotional upheaval that may arise from impending separation of body and self.

We seek to improve the quality of life for terminally ill patients and family members within the Vedic faith through our educational website and literature, one-on-one communication, family group conferences, as well as emotional and spiritual support from our experienced and professional members. Although geared toward a specific population, we also invite anyone, of any belief system, to take advantage of our services as a resource if you feel we can be of assistance.

• Vaishnavas CARE – Since 2000
  

• Vedic culture believes that the human form of life is a special opportunity to prepare one toward the above mentioned end, where an individual soul has the rare chance to return back to his original home with the Lord. However, the illusory potency of the Lord can make one feel at home in this material world. The living entity belongs not to this world of repeated death but to the world of eternity and service to the Lord. Even one whose life is filled with pious activities, austerity, and devotion may be faced with serious challenges at the end of life. We must address the spiritual pain associated with impending death. With a strong support system, an individual soul may eventually reap the long awaited goal of ante narayana smrti.
