In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart. Mahatma Gandhi


The day started with a beautiful prayer with a reflective sharing at Manav Sadhna (Sabarmati Ashram) . A beautiful culmination of purity, passion,service and compassion resonated in the ambiance. At Manav sadhna the spirit of service is defined by being than by doing, by truly being there you are giving yourself. The vibes reverberated during the prayer is incredibly powerful. The feeling is a overwhelming sense of gratitude. A gratitude for all that you have and possess and of what you are able to give. The prayers before every meal is a powerful exercise for expressing gratitude for the food that is keeping us healthy and alive. Here the language understood is the language of love and compassion that is reflected in the very eyes.

Pradeep bhai is is a differently able individual who is visually challenged who has been visiting the Ashram everyday for over a year. What takes you by surprise and touches you is his sense of direction and independence. he volunteers at Manav sadhana during the day, by helping in arranging footwear on the racks and other similar chores. He hoards a deep desire to study at a blind school.

An hour in his presence humbles u as an individual and I was blessed to know him.
