A universal humanitarian and visionary, Sri Sri Shuddhaanandaa Brahmachari (Baba) translates eternal teachings and principles into actions that embody the feeling heart. As an economist-turned-monk, his vision combines both aspects of his background. Through his Lokenath Divine Life Mission (LDLM) programs of sustainable development in India, Baba reminds us that we can work together, now and always, for the openness and universality that will regenerate humanity to create a world free of economic disparities and social injustice, a world united by the thread of love, compassion and spiritual Oneness.
Around the globe, Baba awakens and stimulates the feeling heart in those lives he touches as he describes his simple, yet profound philosophy of self help. LDLM Programs are designed so that those served will discover the magnitude of their own strength, character and capacity to make a difference, not only in their own lives, but in the lives of others and that of their community. Baba does not believe in traditional charity. He prefers to support people in liberating themselves rather than do anything to reinforce their sense of powerlessness. His Lokenath Divine Life Mission in India has served millions of people since its inception in 1985. Baba invites you to be an integral part of a community that actively seeks to participate and experience the missions work in India.
That we can work together, now and always, for the openness and universality that will regenerate humanity to create a world free of economic disparities and social injustice, a world united by the thread of love, compassion and spiritual Oneness.
