An ideal abode
The openness, selflessness, and the giving values this place embodies along with encouraging everyone to take care of their needs is a rare gift. When I see people around me looking at the world with aloofness, materialism, greed, lack of empathy, and exploiting nature, it is very unsettling. But at the same time, when I am at Ahimsagram, I get a sense of peace within me, making me feel like I am part of building solutions.
Ahimsagram is my idea of an ideal world where we are connected to each other, honor everyone’s need, belief in sharing, are sustainable and ethical in our everyday lives, and are able to show support and empathy when needed.
Most of the team members are women, and conscious efforts are made to create a safe and encouraging environment for them so that they can connect with their inherent abilities while supporting the purpose of the organization. This not only transforms their lives in Ahimsagram but also determines how they express themselves in their personal lives, at their homes and on the street.
