Over 30 years now, Param Pujya Mataji and Ashapura Parivar have been selflessly serving the needy people of the society. In 2001, when Gujarat was hit by an earthquake, Param Pujya Mataji urged the volunteers (also known as Aai Shree Ashapura Parivar – ASAP) to serve those people with generous amount of food, clothes, and water. Ever since then there was no looking back and the Seva continued. With each year passing by the number of devotees increased and so their spirit to serve the society.
Ashapura Maa as the name indicates – the Goddess, who fulfils the wishes and desires of all those who trust and believe her and Param Pujya Mataji envisions’ the same. Param Pujya Mataji believes that whomsoever comes to her with tears and sorrows should return with a smile and joy.
Under the guidance of Param Pujya Mataji, Aai Shree Asahpura Parivar has been elevated and officially called as Aai Shree Ashapuraa Parivar Association with an aim to provide best of services to the underprivileged masses.
What is Seva?
The word Seva which is derived from the Sanskrit word “kar”, which means hands or work at service. It is a selfless act that is performed for welfare of all without any expectations in return.
Why Seva?
According to Bhagvad Gita, as expressed by Lord Krishna to Arjuna on the battlefield, one of the key to be a part of Divine Will and progress towards prosperity is by performing selfless deeds or charity, and Param Pujya Mataji attunes to the same.
Param Pujya Mataji believes that every person should have access to necessities of life viz., food, clothing, water, education and medical facilities. 10% of the salary that one earns should be donated to attain spiritual, material and financial well-being in your life.
