We are trying our level best to make these kids better citizens by educating , empowering and cultivating self sustained individuals of tomorrow.

It aims to provide children with an education and training facility that will assist them acquire basic living skills and vaishnavism. Our special feature is training with art and craft .As our beloved Acharya Srila Prabhupad said : ‘’Art is the window to spiritualism’’.

By the age of 18 , our plan is to transfer our children to vocational training centre to acquire market driven skills, crafts and various diploma courses. Especially we are planning to do art camps with leading artists to promote our children’s handicraft and art work to further strengthen the culture of the society.

Imbibing spiritual values like Vaishnava etiquettes, reading of scriptures (BHAGVAD GITA),art of serving deities, garland making, cooking etc.

Our journey over the last six years has been arduous with the path full of challenges and barriers. We could never have come this far without people who believed us and joined hands with us. We thank our well wishers , sponsors , donors ,many of whom contributed their personal finance in moments of need. Our work will continue till the mission is achieved……

Pratyasha
Volunteer
Hi I am pratyasha. I am an engineer by degree but have worked in numerous categories of the IT industry in Bangalore like Human resources, product sales and Corporate team handling in my past 6 years of work experience. In the middle of it all I have closely worked as a content writer for a travel magazine too and later I started freelancing it from a static location. During my pregnancy by the mercy of lord Hari I was connected to Mataji Swaroop Shakti and her BG classes. Slowly I resumed my freelance writing. But after hearing her teachings and the real meaning of knowledge and it's transmission I want to help Karuna NGO bloom, and reach heights in the name of highest lord Krishna. Because now I know the wire puller is the song himself. He is the tune the lyrics and the melody. I hope I am able to do my tiniest bit for the organisation and work whole heartedly for the same🙏🏻
