What is deeply heartening is that this is happening without any structured retreats or programmes. And yet, people are finding their way here—making a booking and coming to stay, often simply with the intention of being quiet, reflecting, and turning inward.

This, perhaps, is the true spirit of what Sri M envisioned for The Sacred Grove: a space that does not seek to draw people to itself, but quietly remains available to those who are inwardly seeking such a space...

Environmental change often begins with the simplest of actions—picking up discarded plastic, choosing a reusable bag or encouraging someone to be more mindful of the waste they leave behind. When these small actions are repeated and shared, they gradually become a collective movement.

Between June and October 2026, My Bhoomi, the environmental initiative of The Satsang Foundation, continued its efforts to address plastic pollution through awareness programmes, cleanliness drives and community participation across Madanapalle, Pune, Bengaluru, Ganagapur and Kerala. What stood out was not merely the quantity of waste collected, but the growing commitment of individuals and communities towards protecting their surroundings.

   Nourishing our Communities, Offering Care and Dignity

Amidst the relentless bustle of daily life, it is easy to overlook marginalized groups who keep our cities moving: daily wage earners waiting eagerly for their next assignment; autorickshaw and cab drivers navigating traffic blocks; gig workers rushing off to ensure the deliveries are made on time. While the quiet ones such as children, seniors, and the differently-abled at shelter homes are often relegated to the background.

Through annadaanam seva, educational programs, medical camps, and moments of genuine companionship, volunteers offer nourishment and a space of respite where everyone feels cared for.
