Cycling for Change: Join The Whatsapp Group: We want your participation, not your money...
Dear Friends,
I am excited to share the purpose behind my goal of cycling 5,200 km in 2025. At 52, I have embarked on a mission to transform lives and build a stronger community.
I invite you to join this campaign—we can make a lasting impact together.
This sloka from Atharva Veda deeply resonates the foundational principles of this campain:
"धर्मार्थकाममोक्षाणाम् आरोग्यं मूलम् उत्तमम्।"
Dharmārtha-kāma-mokṣāṇām ārogyaṃ mūlam uttamam
Health is the foundation (Mental & Physical) of Dharma (Righteousness), Artha (Material Prosperity), Kama (Desires), and Moksha (Liberation).
Campaign Objectives
This campaign directly aligns with the essence of the sloka, supporting two transformative objectives:
- Developing ‘Yoga Ashrama’: Retreats dedicated to mindfulness and health.
- Supporting ‘Place of Worship- PoW’: For Spiritual Practices and Prayers.
The Yoga Ashrama
The aim is to establish the Yoga Ashrama, a dedicated space for practising Samyama, encompassing.
- Dharana (Concentration)
- Dhyana (Meditation)
- Samadhi (Complete Absorption)
The crowdfunding (£1 only) may not help set up a 'Yoga Ashrama' to equip and be available for mindfulness retreats for participants. If you wish to contribute, become one of the growth agents of the Ashrama and donate funds directly. You will also be able to manage and grow the Ashrama together.
Focus Areas for the Yoga Ashrama:
- Real-life Practice of Yoga: Includes integrating Raja Yoga, Karma Yoga, Jnana Yoga, and Bhakti Yoga.
- Educational Platforms: A deeper understanding of the Yoga Sutras, Mahabhashya, and Ayurveda by Patanjali.
- Resources: The Yoga Ashram will be equipped with Yoga tools, guides, and libraries (physical and digital) to inspire modern learners.
- Online Workshops: Making the benefits of Yoga accessible worldwide.
The Place of Worship (PoW):
- Donations marked "For PoW" by donors. The message could be either sent directly to me or in a comment on this campaign, the donation will be used to support local places of worship registered with this initiative.
Why Your Support Matters
This mission is not just about teaching Yoga or maintaining PoW—it’s about creating a sustainable, inclusive ecosystem that empowers individuals and uplifts communities. By supporting these initiatives, you will:
- Help make Yoga accessible to all.
- Contribute to PoW(s) that serve as cultural and spiritual hubs for generations.
- Inspire others to pursue health, mindfulness, and purpose.
Transparency and Accountability
This campaign is built on trust, and I am committed to:
- Sharing regular updates on my cycling progress and milestones for the Yoga Ashrama(s) and PoW(s) projects.
- Together, we will detail the reports on how funds are utilized, ensuring that your contributions create a meaningful impact.
How You Can Help
You can make this vision a reality by donating to or supporting both causes. Every bit helps bring us closer to our shared goal.
Let’s pedal toward progress and purpose together. Our actions can create a healthier, more connected, and spiritually enriched world.
