BROOKLYN, NY (TIP): Ananda Marga is a socio-spiritual organization founded in India in 1955 by the philosopher and spiritual master Shrii Shrii Anandamurti.

On occasion of the meeting of Indian Business Leaders at the residence of Bipin Sangankar in Brooklyn on April 14th the Mayor of New York Bill De Blasio gave chance to Ananda Marga representatives for a very warm interaction during which a project for helping the Homeless population was presented to him.

Arish Kumar Sahani as member of the Indian Community and promoter of the “Active and Productive Homeless” project was accompanied by Acarya Abhiramananda Avadhuta – President of Ananda Marga in USA and by Acarya Vimaleshananda Avadhuta -Public Relations Secretary for the non-profit organization.

Helping the homeless population has been one of the hallmarks of the Mayor endeavor for bringing social equality in a city marked by a deep separation between rich and poor. Although under the pressure of the coming reelection we expect the Mayor to continue to the last his efforts so important for all the minorities and for the homeless particularly.

The project proposal is centered on a 40 hours workshops divided in eight modules to be delivered in a few months period promising to change the attitude of the homeless people from passive receivers of help to active participants of the community.
