BE THE CHANGE Walkathon 2020

BE THE CHANGE  Walkathon 2020 BY Ananda Sangha Pune

What is #BeTheChange Walkathon 2020?

The #BeTheChange Walkathon is a beacon initiative by Ananda Sangha that serves to lead by example and inspiration changes that bring hope, health, goodness and joy into the world. Paramhansa Yogananda said: "Change yourself and you have done your part in changing the world."

#BeTheChange Walkathon 2020 is dedicated to bringing love and joy into the lives of the widow Mothers of Vrindavan. For long have the Mothers been ignored, abandoned, and left to fend for themselves. The Paramhansa Yogananda Public Charitable Trust, founded in December 2014, one of the largest widow welfare works in India, lovingly attends to the needs of our Mothers bringing “Ever New Joy” into the communities of Vrindavan. The Trust staff strives selflessly by helping to raise the consciousness of the Mothers under their care and helping them live a healthy, happy community life.

Let's lend them a helping hand.

Come, join us! WALK with us! RUN with us! Let's send a smile to their hearts. SUPPORT the CAUSE of our Mothers of Vrindavan.

Stay tuned for details of Seva Pilgrimages to Vrindavan.

"THE HAPPINESS OF ONE'S OWN HEART ALONE CANNOT SATISFY THE SOUL; ONE MUST TRY TO INCLUDE, AS NECESSARY TO ONE'S OWN HAPPINESS, THE HAPPINESS OF OTHERS."

The Science of KRIYA YOGA:

To all who are interested, we will offer the first step on the Path of Kriya Yoga as taught by Paramhansa Yogananda, author of the best-selling classic, “Autobiography of a Yogi”.

Paramhansa Yogananda writes of Kriya Yoga in his book:

“One-half minute of revolution of energy around the sensitive spinal cord of man effects subtle progress in his evolution; that half-minute of Kriya equals one year of natural spiritual unfoldment.”

It is a life-changing practice for total wellness in body, mind, and soul.

Come, aspire, attain the heights of your true potential!!
