Why talk about Karma yoga?

Karma yoga is the essence of yoga. Karma yoga is what Lord Krishna espoused to Arjuna on the battlefield of ‘Kurukshetra’ in the Bhagavad Gita. The western take on this concept is ‘as you sow, so shall you reap’. But karma yoga goes way beyond that. The majority of people practice yoga in the form of ‘asanas’, and it is for their own health and well being. Karma yoga is the yoga of action, and actions that are directly focused on the wellness of others. This is neither altruism or charity. Because yoga is a practice that is dedicated to our mind, by practicing ‘karm’ yoga we are attempting to move beyond our ego driven existence and do deeds or actions that do not benefit us but others. We don’t expect anything from our actions. And in being truly selfless we have the opportunity to grow beyond our own egos. The crux of the ‘Bhagavad Gita’ is rooted in these concepts of karma yoga and ‘Dharma’, loosely translated to mean action, duty and responsibility.

THE CONCEPT BEHIND PRANA BUZZ

I started Prana Buzz around the idea of community and the power of people coming together around art and spirituality. A community that is nurtured through spirituality and creativity. This hive of good energy is not just to benefit us and our loved ones but to nourish the planet like the bees do. The ripple effects of good energy creating greater good in our world. Motivated by the teachings of Karma Yoga, and ‘dharma’ every Prana Buzz event goes to support others through collaborations with grassroots organizations, local Non Profit organizations and others.

INDIA PARTNERS

I have managed to secure partnerships with two different Non-Profits in New Delhi that work with street children - Maitri and Jamghat. Below is a description of the workshops and classes I conducted with them in 2019. However there will be ongoing and continued work with these organizations and others.

Please consider Donating to these two projects. Any support you can provide would be appreciated. 100% of your donations will go straight to the children. I will be gifting them school supplies, sponsoring meals, purchasing yoga mats for them and maybe even getting cake for all the kids to enjoy. On top of that I plan to give of my time in the form of conducting workshops and classes. I will be committing and contributing myself to both of these projects regardless of any donations received, so there is no target or goal for donations. I’m simply offering you a chance to help make a difference in some children’s’ lives through me. Even $5 goes a long way in India! To be clear, Prana Buzz is not an LLC or a 501C3. Stripe is a company that processes all payments and takes 3% off any payment as a fee.

India Can’t Breathe!

My country is undergoing a Humanitarian crisis because of Covid. A magnitude that this world has not witnessed in any other country. And because of the complete failure of the Indian Government there is a war like situation on the streets where people are begging for oxygen, beds, plasma, and medications. To get a better understanding please read this article by Arundhati Roy. It is long but will give you the bigger picture. My family is in New Delhi, the capital of India where some of the most horrific stories of desperation are taking place. I won’t go on about the funeral pyres that are burning day and night and much more. Please remember none of us will be safe until all of us are safe. Covid knows no borders.

I am starting a drive to raise funds to help my fellow Indians. All proceeds will go to GiveIndia. Oracle will be matching any funds I raise. I ask you to join me! Time is of the essence. Every drop in the ocean counts. Funds will go to provide food distribution, help vulnerable children, life giving oxygen and much much more!
