Our vision can be stated simply: to translate Gandhian ideals of living into action and to promote a life of simplicity.
This also implies sustainability and care for our environment, self-sufficiency and service to the community.
Thus, while ahimsa (nonviolence), satya (truth) and karuna (compassion and, by extension, universal brotherhood) are its guiding principles, in practice it is swadeshi (self-sufficiency) that shapes the Ashram’s economic and productive activities.
