Work Areas
1) Environment
a. Trees
We have started work on detiling of trees in N Block through a sustained efforts which included fax campaign, bringing awareness to public through distribution of pamphlets and continuous co ordination on a regular basis with MCD. So far seventy two trees have been detiled. We need more people to take up similar initiatives in their respective neigbourhoods.
b. Green living
The biggest threat to environment is what we do and use everyday. We advocate green choices that are sustainable. We are promoting vegetarianism and also freely distributing eco friendly dishwashing powder from ISKCON goshala.
2) Animal welfare
Animal and human conflict can be resolved if we act with mercy. Mercy is one of the four pillars of dharma.We are very intelligent beings and we should use this for being guardians of all creatures and abstain from causing suffering. In metropolitan cities like Delhi the biggest conflict is between stray dogs and residents. With more people , buildings and cars the stray dogs are having to fight for public space which was earlier their NATURAL home. There is always the fear of rabies too. In N Block we have done a systematic study of the community dog population . We have taken up the ABC program. We also encourage adoption of shelter animals.
3) Spreading kindness
a. Acts of Love and Kindness
A beautiful idea has transformed into a program for spreading kindness as a value worthy of notice and appreciation. We initiated “Acts of love and Kindness “ a movement which wioll be popularized in schools and to public through media. We guide our members to take some time out and volunteer for any cause and share their experiences.
4) Volunteering in MCD Schools
MCD school children often comprise of the economically backword children . These schools are always in need of people who can inspire them to learn.The schools and children have a lot of limitations it is our endeavor to encourage volunteers to bring to the children the joy of learning and sharing by donating time and money.
5) Universal Peace
a. Kirtans and discourses
Lasting peace on earth can only be brought when we take up a spiritual path. We organize kirtans and discussions of different faiths so that our members align themselves to the higher truth and transform themselves slowly which will not only bring peace in them but also in the society.
