Ashraya is a compassionate, faith-based circle of care.
We offer a listening presence, gentle guidance, and spiritual support during times of illness, caregiving, grief, and loss. Ashraya volunteers are trained to listen with care and discretion, offering emotional and spiritual support rooted in compassion, acceptance, and respect.
Care is grounded in the wisdom of Sanātana Dharma (Hinduism), guided by our Scriptures including Shrimad Bhagavad Gita and Shrimad Bhagavatam and our Guides, Shri Vivek Gupta and Shri Suman Rajupet.
Or you can email us: ashraya@chinmayaniagara.com
Meet with Sumanji, Indiraji or Jagrutiji every month. Availabilities will be posted here.
