After killing Kamsa, Krishna spoke to His parents, Vasudeva and Devaki:
"If a person is able to care for or give protection to old parents, a chaste wife, children, the spiritual master, the brahmanas and other dependents but does not do so, he is considered already dead, although he is supposedly breathing".

"If a person is able to care for or give protection to old parents, a chaste wife, children, the spiritual master, the brahmanas and other dependents but does not do so, he is considered already dead, although he is supposedly breathing".
Taking care of senior devotees is a most valuable service. If Srila Prabhupada were present today, surely he would have made arrangements to take care of his disciples when they become old and invalid. Indeed, he even constructed Krsna- Balaram Mandir just so that his western disciples would have a place for themselves when they would visit the Holy dhama or retire after a lifetime of hard preaching work.
So there is a need for Higher Ground Devotional Care Foundation to provide care for our aged (senior) vaisnava's and spiritualists who are disabled, infirm, and or terminally ill. Our intention is to provide care in a home that belongs to the organization. The care would be around the clock in an environment that is conducive to spiritual awareness.
Everyone should contribute or support this project, as time and tide wait for no man, and such activities are pleasing to guru and Krishna.
Hare Krishna!

I am delighted to endorse the Higher Ground Devotional Care Foundation Inc. This most noteworthy project offers a precious opportunity to serve the devotees and thereby attract the blessings of Srila Prabhupada and Krsna. This service of taking care of our elders forms a crucial element in the culture of Krsna Consciousness which Srila Prabhpada imparted. It behooves each and every one of us - who are indebted to those who have gone before us and paved our way - to give aid and support to this new venture. And the group's motto "No Devotee Left Behind" serves to further uplift morale in the Vaisnava community.

"Jasoda was a care giver for my 94 year old mother a few years back. My mother had trouble with walking and was not capable of taking care of many of her daily activities. Jasoda was an extremely capable care giver. She is also a very caring individual and in addition to taking care of many of my mothers needs, she was empathetic, loving, caring, and a great companion for my mom. As we continue to become a society where we are not able to care for our aging parents adequately, such services are of great importance. Finding people who truly care for the individuals, finding a good soul to provide such service, it is priceless! I whole heartedly endorse Jasoda for such service."

Joycelyn Pitts (Jasoda Gokularani Devi Dasi) is not only skilled and experienced caretaker but also extremely compassionate person. We witnessed firsthand her skills when she took extremely good care of our mother before she passed away.
I highly recommend Joycelyn!

"At this point in my life, after having reached 63 years of age and seeing many of my godsisters and brothers entering into their seventies, I am very encouraged and pleased to have become acquainted with Jasoda Gokularani Devi Dasi. She has been developing a project dedicated to caring for Vaisnavas in need. There are plenty of devotees these days that do need assistance with daily activities that most of us would take for granted. She, along with a few other compassionate, caring devotees, have made themselves available to do what is required and assist those in need. This includes those who may simply need transportation to and from appointments or help with cleaning or to even help in bathing, dressing and cooking for one with more disability.
She has been helping to assist my 94 year old mother since 2016. I have found her to be extremely capable and dependable. She can also be flexible, very accommodating and willing to make adjustments when the need arises. My mother loves her and looks forward to her visits. This also frees me to break away and spend some much needed time engaging in other activities outside of the home.
I am very thankful for the service she is providing and feel very fortunate to have someone I can count on to help with care for my aged mother. I highly recommend Jasoda devi dasi and her crew.
