KarunaNews: Even Opera Is Going Net-Zero

As we were settling down on the couch with our morning tea, a beautiful conversation took place between Arundada and Audrey, in his 2019 visit to the US. Here are some glimpses of the conversation, as I tried hard to translate what was transpiring between the two :)

Audrey: How did Vinoba lead?

Presence Brewer writes after the recent Awakin Call with Ali Mahlodji: What a grand honor to bask in the wisdom of the experience that life has delivered to Ali. 

Ali’s story paints the picture of what is possible when, after each hardship, each rejection, each struggle, each seeming setback we turn inside to connect to that which is really meant for us to do. Rather than live in the storyline of pain that difficulties like these could create, Ali transformed being a refugee, a stutterer, a school dropout, and, major professional burnout and illness, into the fuel that fires a life dedicated to building a world where everyone can be what and who they want to be.
