A Flower & Honey Bees
Flowers represent beauty, vulnerability and fragrance.
The process of blooming is natural to a flower.
Our true nature is much like a flower; beautiful and joyful.
Honey bees work hard gathering honey (the essence) of flowers from everywhere.
The bees work together without damage to the flower
and assist the flower in cross pollination.
It is Nature in harmony.
We can have the attitude of a honey bee in experiencing our true nature.
Like honey bees, we can live and let live, gathering the best from everything
without hurting or damaging anything.
OUR COMMITMENT TO SOCIETY
Life is to live, love and relate. Life is beautiful but living is beset with difficulties and harsh realities.
Tattiriya Upanishad says: Give with love, donate with reverence and contribute with humility.
We are lucky to support these causes that are dear to our heart.
Prajwala is a pioneering anti-trafficking organisation working on the issue of sex trafficking and sex crime. Dr. Sunitha Krishnan is doing the most amazing, most difficult and most noble form of social service.
We are continuing to reach out to other organizations to support these causes.
