Be the Change

“Be the change you want to see in the world,” is a paraphrase of Mahatma Gandhi. He is saying that we do not need to wait for the circumstances of the world to change; its starts with us. The great soul of Gandhi calls on us all. Ananda invites you to Be the Change, to join a movement of people changing the world by changing themselves first, through meditation.

Be the Change is one way Ananda shines light into the dark, tumultuous moments in our world today. Be the Change invites you, and people of all faiths and paths to open our hearts and radiate one million hours of peace and harmony into the world.
