Care Initiatives by Yoga in Daily Life - Karma Yoga 

Paramhans Swami Maheshwaranandaji

"True joy can be found in the service of all creatures,
and in this is the wisdom and meaning of life."

Following these principles the Australian Association of Yoga in Daily Life works to make a positive contribution to Australia and also provides support for the international humanitarian initiatives of Paramhans Swami Maheshwarananda (Swamiji) and the International Sri Deep Madhavananda Ashram Fellowship which is the umbrella organisation for Yoga in Daily Life organisations worldwide.

Initiatives in Australia include our Community Yoga programme, yoga and meditation classes for all areas of the public including adults, seniors, athletes, children, teenagers, corporate groups as well as disadvantaged community groups such as intellectually challenged adults in institutions; wheelchair-bound children and adults; senior citizens in aged-homes; inmates of prisons; the terminally ill and their carers.

Initiatives in India include, work with the local community to provide health services, environmental conservation, humanitarian aid, education programs, and the implementation of long term poverty reduction strategies. The Australian centres support this work by providing financial aid, volunteer workers, fund-raising, and campaigns to raise international awareness of third world issues. The most active centre where volunteers from Australia spend time each year is the centre in Jadan village, Pali, Rajasthan.
