Sādhanā: An Audio-Visual Meditation on Sincerity
This month, we have selected a beautiful, meditative artistic creation by an international volunteer group ‘Art Studio-12 Qualities”.

Sādhanā: To combine passive receptivity and realising activity
Every month we will feature a small prayer or meditation, with an aspiration that this will be the Light illuminating and purifying all our movements every day of the month.
