Dāna: Giving Alms
Note: Part of my mission is to make donations to South Asian communities, which continue to face racist injustices and marginalization, including in the Western yoga and Ayurvedic communities. I donate part of the proceeds from your purchase of any service or product to the South Asian justice and needs-based organization Manav Sadhna, which assists marginalized communities and families in India. More donations and support are always welcome if you want to send your own gifts to this or any reparations, justice or needs-based organizations.
