Charity work, especially relating to the welfare of children, is very dear to Shivananda Swamij ‘s heart. He has several projects in mind, which he would like to establish and support. One of these projects, for example, arose from an encounter while travelling in Nepal last year. Swamiji met an eleven year old girl and her mother, who were living under very difficult circumstances. This little girl is an exceptional soul, with a wisdom and understanding way beyond her years. In one of her extraordinary letters to Shivananda this is what she wrote:

"I started a project and it is a library for children. The name

of the library is, The National Library for Curious Minds. Nepal has no books or places where children can learn, read or have fun with their parents. I'm so lucky to have my mother
as she did for me what no other person did for a child. Sometimes when I talk to mom, we feel that you have brought light into our lives."

Shivananda Swamiji has a great desire to help this bright little girl and her mother. His Foundation is looking into the possibility of making this girl’s dream into a reality. 

Setting up new charities, rather than supporting existing ones, is a huge undertaking. However, through divine guidance and the support of those whose hearts are open, Shivananda Swamiji will be able to share his love, help those in need, and heal the hearts of the suffering on a large scale.

We appreciate any contributions to this noble mission that you can make. We will continue to up-date you with all of Shivananda's Charitable projects and activities. We together, can make this all happen - thank you for your generous support!
