SHELTER BASICS AND COVID FLYERS

Essentials for the community

When we serve humanity, we serve anyone and everyone.
Sant Baljit Singh Ji

Vishav Manav Ruhani Kendra proactively approached the local administration to offer our services to comfort and serve the community during the Covid-19 pandemic. We donated basic necessities for shelter homes, offered our centers as shelter homes and isolation centers, and assisted government efforts in raising public awareness regarding Covid-19 flyers. The photo stories below highlight Vishav Manav Ruhani Kendra’s service to humanity throughout India.

Six Vishav Manav Ruhani Kendra centers in Himachal Pradesh were requisitioned as shelter homes that are managed by the local administration. On Wednesday, April 1, 2020, the Chandigarh edition of the Amar Ujala newspaper reported that the local administration had set up quarantine centers in Nalagarh, including one at the Vishav Manav Ruhani Kendra Nalagarh center. The quarantine centers followed health monitoring guidelines and provided daily health status updates to the local authorities. 45 people were quarantined at the Vishav Manav Ruhani Kendra center in Nalagarh for 3 weeks. In May 2020, Prashant Deshtra, SDM Nalagarh issued the order below that requisitioned four Vishav Manav Ruhani Kendra centers as quarantine centers.

Keeping in view of the enforcement of curfew in the entire state, owing to the outbreak of the epidemic disease, namely coronavirus, and recent guidelines received from the government, a number of people, who due to the lockdown have been stranded in various parts of the county, are now entering the state. Therefore, in continuation of earlier orders, I, Prashant Deshtra, SDM Nalagarh, Himachal Pradesh, exercising powers vested in me under Epidemic Disease Act, 1897 and under Disaster Management Act, 2005, do hereby requisition the following Vishav Manav Ruhani Kendra of the BBN area with immediate effect:

  1. Vishav Manav Ruhani Kendra, Baddi
  2. Vishav Manav Ruhani Kendra, Barotiwala
  3. Vishav Manav Ruhani Kendra, Manpura
  4. Vishav Manav Ruhani Kendra, Nalagarh

Covid-19 Flyers

READ MORE ABOUT COVID-19 FLYERS

To assist government efforts in raising awareness and educating the public, Vishav Manav Ruhani Kendra printed tens of thousands of government Covid-19 flyers, and distributed these in multiple locations, including food distribution centers. As the people waited in line to receive cooked food packets, they read these flyers that explained the hygiene factors to safeguard against the Covid-19 virus.

Selfless service and devotion toward God and His creation continues forever, as devotion cannot be measured nor can devotional actions be counted. True devotion, without ego, is never for one’s personal benefit but is for the benefit of the less fortunate and those needing our help.
