YOGIC SERVICE
hypocritical behaviour.
More recently, incentives
to boycott Yoga Alliance,
the American organisation
regulating and
standardizing yoga
practices worldwide.
Underhanded news is
aggravating the sanctity
and spirituality of yoga
and its application in India
and the west, bringing in
confusion and underlying
feelings of mistrust.
I receive first hand
messages and
information pertaining to
the poor state of animals,
specifically dogs and
cows, pollution,
infrastructure and
municipal services as well
as the ongoing problem
of poverty, starvation and
even domestic violence
as alcohol abuse is on the
increase.
In April 2018 I began
working remotely with
Doon Animal Welfare and
later in the year I was
compelled to start
Rishikesh Animal Welfare,
an online resource centre
offering support, and
inviting open
communication between
NGO’s, non-profit
organisations and like-
minded individuals. I am
hopeful that it will impact
positive forward thinking,
communication, bring in
trust and a way for us to
combine services and
resources to make the
necessary long term
impact and change to this
region. Various Hindi
news articles were
syndicated during this
time about my service to
India and the importance
of Karma Yoga according
to The Bhagavad Gita. I
could never have
imagined in ‘my old life’
that I was capable of such
miracles.
