Akashaparavakal, meaning "Birds of the Air," grew from the divine inspiration received by Fr. George Kuttickal M.C.B.S. at Bharatpur in 1983 and became a ministry of rescue, psychiatric care, rehabilitation and de-addiction support in Bengaluru.
The brochure describes the Ashrams not as mere institutions, but as loving joint families where abandoned and mentally distressed people are welcomed with dignity, restored with care and accompanied toward healing.

Growth
Thirumugha Ashramam opened on 28 December 2004 and Thrithwa Elizabeth Mane began on 1 February 2015.
The brochure describes a deeply personal welcome in which people rescued from the streets are received with humility, cared for immediately and gradually brought into a loving daily rhythm.
Each new resident is received with a flower garland and bouquet as the coordinators begin care with humility and compassion.
The brochure highlights cleansing, wound care, grooming and a fresh set of clothes as the first steps toward restored dignity.
The Ashrams are described as joint families where people serve and are served together, with father and mother figures called appa and amma.
Food, prayer, psychiatric treatment and steady daily support help residents move from abandonment toward safety, belonging and stability.
The brochure shares a clear mission of rescue, care, rehabilitation and de-addiction. These are the key questions people often ask first.
