The project is in the making and your creative ideas are needed.
Highlights of the project are:
- We create fun in order to engage homeless people in active and productive activities. We use Yoga and we engage people in self-esteem enhancing activities like making a movie as an actor or director or making interviews like a war reporter.
- We change the mental environment by teaching meditation and engaging in stimulating and inspiring classes and stories. Aah, story telling .. such a great tool for creating the reality we want for a better future.
- We engage in far reaching initiative like the Safe Place Network described at http://safeplacenetwork.us . And we also do more traditionally service activities like food distribution but always with a unique flavour.
- What about serving food from a bicycle trailer?
- What about arranging transportation and bringing them to do Yoga in a nice cozy environment?
We need volunteers to make a team and changing the life style of the people living on the sidewalks begging for a living.
More opportunities with Ananda Marga Inc

Ananda Marga is a charitable organization dedicated to the welfare of all. Welfare starts with the basic necessities and Ananda Marga is active all around the world providing first the basic needs like food, education, shelter, medical and clothing. When human love is extended to all the creation including animals and plants we call it neo-humanism.
