THE CAUSE: SWAMI DAYANANDA KRUPA HOME
This edition of “Hé Govind” was dedicated to supporting the Swami Dayananda Krupa Home, a sanctuary offering lifelong care for adult men with developmental delays and disabilities. The inspiration for this home arose when Pujya Swami Dayananda Saraswati encountered parents of special children, burdened with the haunting question, “Who after me?” Krupa Home stands as a loving answer, providing a safe, nurturing environment where these individuals can live with dignity and joySet within a lush 10-acre campus, Krupa Home offers thoughtfully planned facilities and compassionate care for men aged 18 to 65.

A NOTE OF GRATITUDE
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Late Mrs. Saroj Goenka, whose generosity has made Krupa Home a reality. Her compassion and vision have planted the seeds of a brighter future for many.
