Communication Activities

"We are an established non-profit organization (VZW) that has recently changed its name to represent a broader and more inclusive audience. In the past, our activities have included mantra evenings, yoga sessions, and accessible programs specifically designed for low-income families. We have also opened our doors to other non-profit organizations, hosting gatherings that brought together representatives from various religious institutions and local government officials. The primary objective of these meetings has always been to facilitate an open and constructive dialogue on peace. Sanatana Dharma represents the 'Eternal Order,' which teaches, among other things, that we are all interconnected and, therefore, all inherently equal."
