Welcome to Vaisnavas C.A.R.E.
Vaisnavas C.A.R.E. (Counseling, Assistance, Resource, and Education) is a worldwide network of volunteers who offer their support to the terminally ill and their loved ones. Through education, website support, and volunteer assistance, Vaisnavas C.A.R.E. (aka V-C.A.R.E.) offers comfort to those in need by integrating the knowledge of caring for the terminally-ill with the spiritual wisdom given to us by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
An online course is included at no charge in this website that can give one a basic understanding of caring for the terminally-ill and their family. A certificate of completion is awarded after the completion of the course.
It is important to note that Vaisnavas C.A.R.E. Inc. is not a hospice organization. We encourage anyone diagnosed with a terminal disease to contact a local licensed hospice agency in their community to receive the many professional services they offer. Where available, Vaisnavas C.A.R.E. volunteers will provide additional emotional, spiritual and practical support to those facing end-of-life issues.
We at Vaisnavas C.A.R.E. would like to wish you a very
Happy Janmastami!

As quoted in Bhakti-ratnakara, “Anyone who dies in any place within Mathura--a holy place, a home, or even a courtyard--attains salvation” (Adi-varaha Purana). And “Untouchables, animals, birds, deer, and others can attain salvation if they die in Mathura. Those who die in Mathura by snake bite, by the attack of wild animals, or from fire, water, or any sort of unnatural death are transferred to the abode of Hari” (Padma Purana).
