Senior Citizen Helpline in Mumbai, IndiaSharavan Kumar is a character in the great Hindu epic Ramayana. He was born of poor and blind parents HIRANYADANA & TANDAVI. He bore sincere love and respect for his parents. He was a man of character and used to take care of his parents well. One day his ageing parents expressed a desire to be taken to various pilgrimages. In those days means of transport were scarce and costly, and Sharavan Kumar could not afford to hire them. He therefore, decided to place his parents in two baskets and carry the baskets on his shoulder to the places of pilgrimage. He took a strong bamboo stick, at its two ends he tied the two baskets with strong ropes, and placed his father in one of the baskets and his mother in the other. Carrying on his shoulder this bamboo stick with a basket at either end, Sharavan started on the pilgrimage.Our logo depicts that very scene and we, like Sharavan, are committed to show same amount of character and integrity while serving the elders.
