Since 2020, our CommUnity has been moved to support organizations that are facilitating safety and security for Devis (women) around the world. 🌍 This year, we will further our efforts towards Women's upLIFTment by aspiring to raise $27,000 towards Chinmaya Vijaya—a girls' orphanage located in Guntur, India. Chinmaya Vijaya provides orphaned girls with a loving home and supportive commUnity, as well as educational and value development, all of which paves the way to a secure and independent life.

🏫 Education: They attend an English medium school and advance at their own pace, unlocking their full potential.

At some point in our lives, we might wonder... Is there more to living and life?
Some of us may also inquire... Who am I?
Through our sincere pursuit of such Truths, the Sadguru-shishya-parampara comes into our lives and compassionately reveals the answers to our deepest questions. In Vedantic tradition, such Guidance is given freely and such an experience is priceless.
Still, out of gratitude and fulfillment, the student seeks to give back. 🧡 Guru Dakshina is an opportunity for us to offer our gratitude for the dedication-sacrifice-expression of our Guides.
Please donate generously to support the causes of our Guru-shishya-parampara.
Welcome to Prthvi Sevasanga, a new flagship service initiative for our CommUnity. An expression of our gratitude for all we have been given, Prthvi Sevasanga is the means through which we can serve individually and collectively to improve the health of our Mother Earth. 🌏
