This is a 2 years of effort carried on by Sai Paravastu (director and national Secretary of HCA), Karthik Subramanian (CHT Scholor) and Surinder Jain (Founder and director of HCA). This is good news for all of the Australian Hindu community whose need to have a chaplain is growing.
Now Hindu Chaplains can work in Hospitals, aged care, corrective services etc and help the community with spiritual care, help with end-of-life care or last rites and have conversations that give them hope & courage. In the era of nuclear families, a chaplain is very much needed.
A chaplain is a first level contact for people who are distressed and going through a difficult period of time. A chaplain can assist the elderly in communicating their wishes to family & friends, organise prayers & rituals and share resources or become a leaning shoulder.
