About NJASM Humanitarian Mission

The New Jersey Arya Semaj Mandir, Inc., executed its first Humanitarian Mission in Guyana, South America in July-August 2005. We worked with the Berbice Central Arya Samaj in reaching out to the less fortunate children in orphanages in the County of Berbice, Guyana. Such social and charitable works are the basic hallmarks of Hinduism and the Arya Samaj movement. Unlike the common perceptions that Hinduism is based on rituals and only seek to spread spirituality, the teachings of Hinduism is based on the principle of sewa or service to humanity. With the establishment of the Arya Samaj, a Hindu reform movement established in 1785 by Maharishi Swami Dayan and Sarasvati, such facility was encouraged to be dedicated to the human race, especially the unfortunate and downtrodden. These will include the orphans, people in poverty, disadvantaged widows, disaster struck victims, battered women and children irrespective of race and ethnic origin. We humbly encourage all to contribute generously to this mission. Please click on Fund-Raising to learn how you can donate or contribute towards this mission.
