Awakin Circles bring together small groups of people in living rooms around the world. In Mumbai, we've hosted such circles for many years now and are thrilled to be hosting a dear guest this month.

On Thursday, January 30th, we're delighted to host a circle at Ketan & Rupali Bhuva's home at Ghatkopar East, Mumbai, with Dinesh, Harshida and Nipun Mehta.

• 6:00pm -- Sit Together in Silence
• 7:00pm -- Reflections/stories, Q&A
• 8:30pm -- Dinner + Hugs 

If you'd like to join us, kindly RSVP below to help us plan dinner accordingly.

Dinesh and Harshida Mehta, fondly known as the "Awakin parents," are pillars of compassion and community within the ServiceSpace ecosystem.
For years, they have opened their hearts and home to countless individuals through hosting Awakin Circles —intimate gatherings centered on meditation, reflection, and community sharing. Their humble aboden Silicon Valley has become a sanctuary for those seeking solace and inspiration. Dinesh brings a contemplative presence, while Harshida exudes warmth and nurturing hospitality. Together, they exemplify servant leadership, quietly inspiring others through their unwavering service, love, and generosity. Their lives are a testament to the power of small acts of kindness and the transformative potential of community engagement. We feel joyous, privileged and humbled to host a circle with them. Our dear brother in service, Nipun Mehta, will also join them in this special Awakin circle. 

At the age of 25, Nipun Mehta quit his job to become a "full time volunteer." Originally, he embarked on a small experiment to deepen his alignment of meditation and service -- but much to his surprise, the ripples spread to millions, and was even applauded by the likes of Dalai Lama and President Obama. Still wary of being caught by "golden handcuffs" of impacting the world, Nipun and his wife embarked on a transformative walking pilgrimage across India with practically nothing.  Deeply inspired by Gandhi, he speaks of a "Gandhi 3.0" possibility of distributed everyday heroes harmonizing via the "inner-net".  Although he serves tirelessly, his life's mission statement is rather simple: "Bring smiles in the world and stillness in my heart."

It would be great to have you join us, share a contemplative space of reflection, and plant seeds for co-creating more goodness in the world. To join, simply RSVP below with your email address and you'll be emailed the details.
