ABOUT US
What is the Shanti Avedna Sadan?
The Shanti Avedna Sadan is India’s
first Hospice, an institution that takes
care of the advanced terminally ill
Cancer patients. It is neither a hospital
nor a home, but is in fact both, offering
the specialized care of a hospital together
with the love of a home
What does the
Logo mean?
The Logo shows a strong hand holding
a weak hand to signify support, comfort
and consolation in the hour of need,
within the flame of love under the roof
of the Sadan. Shanti means peace, Avedna
signifies absence of Pain and Sadan
is a home. Shanti Avedna Sadan therefore
literally means “Peace in the
absence of pain home”. The Logo
also has the words St.Augustine: “Where
there is love, there is no pain”,
which continues as, “if there
is pain, it is a pain that is loved!”
