I fully agree with what you say. I live in India and find families including mine facing similar problems. The only solution for the elderly is to find people to support them. Younger people and units should be geared for geriatric care. Unfortunately, the govt. in developing countries is not paying much attention towards this.

Their(the old people’s) spiritual upliftment is also important, before they die, since they have not had time during their young and middle age to pursue it. Their children are scattered and unable to spend much time with their old parents and grandparents.Maybe realised masters like the Dalai Lama and my master, Anandmurti Gurumaa and their organisations could provide some succour. Though most spiritual organisations target the young, there could be a committee for the old.

In countries like India, even the womenfolk need to liberated, specially those who belong to the not so privileged class.

Would you like to approach the spiritual organisation you are associated with?In case you have an idea, I could speak to my spiritual organisation. I would like you to have a look at http://www.gurumaa.com and see the great job they are doing for girls in their Shakti project.We are also going great guns in spirituality with meditation techniques and retreats all over the world.
