The world of peace and tranquility-where the view is priceless and experience timeless. One place-Gandhi Ashram. Living here is a blessing. Playing with the kids, or going on health camp with community members, or enjoying a night out in the city with other volunteers, it is all such a wonderful experience. Busy on my feet, but the joy I feel is priceless. I think this experience will really stick with me fore ever. My definition of success be happy in what your are doing, and love much and give all. Manav Sadhna has thaught me so many values. Very rarely have I seen the way Manav Sadhna practices here. Every thing is need based and that I love. All the work is done with such purity and grace. There is no scheme of earning money slyly, but instead, they give of themselves in any way they can. I love the programs they run and I find myself divided up into new and old projects. I love the volunteer meetings-such inspiring stories. One guy rode his bike from Greece to India! Such an inspiration. The kids loved hearing his story, and so did the other visitors at the ashram. I love the house I am staying at. It is an original from Gadhiji's time. Living on the premises he once lived on is one of the biggest blessings, and I love and value this experience so much! The olden style cottage like home-the place filled with mosquitos, yet I love every single moment here. From washing clothes in 7am rush trying to doing sun salutation to the sun rise in front of Sabarmati riverfront! From 5 km walks through narrow alleys of the slums to the free flowing environment at the community centers. From lunch with everyone by the riverfront to meeting people from all walks of life from across the globe. From the lovely Seva Cafe dining to washing dishes and forming bonds.

It is a blessing to be able to connect to so many people in the name of love and humanity.
All challenges lead to growth. This is the meaning of life- find your niche and immerse yourself.
Love all, serve all. -love this place.
