Free Schools
Inspired by Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar’s vision, The Art of Living started a unique value-based holistic education in a stress-free environment for children from vulnerable communities. For almost four decades now, various educational initiatives have been running across India to ensure a safe and brighter future for children.
Welcome To Dharma Sthambha Yojana
DSY stands for Dharma Sthambha Yojana is an initiative by The Art of Living based on the ancient philosophy unfolded by Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.
Gurudev says, like how rice is purified by ghee, our body is purified by ayurveda, our intellect is purified by knowledge, our actions is purified by seva, our feelings and emotions are purified by satsang and bhajans, our soul is purified by meditation; similarly our money is purified by charity. 3 to 5 % of whatever we earn, should be kept aside for charity. This converts the remaining 97 to 95 % of your earnings into good money.
Dharma Sthambha Yojana is a plan created to establish human duty everywhere, every village, every city. Human duty is recognised by the nature of "giving". So it takes us back to our ancient tradition which emphasizes on giving back for the welfare of our society, where people can give any amount of their earnings towards a humanitarian cause. In addition, this plan is also designed to spread knowledge in every place.
Why should one donate
CHARITY alone can purify wealth and bring in abundance. This would not only inculcate the habit of "giving", but also revive back from our roots, this sacred culture of "giving". If we spend 100% of all that we earn only on ourself, then our money doesn't get purified. A small amount has to be kept aside for service activities. The amount is not important, however what matters is the fact that you are willing to contribute for the benefit of society. It is said that, even for building a bridge to Lanka, squirrels contribution was recognised by Lord Rama. Therefore, it is the attitude and willingness to give, that enriches someone's life.
