Rewananda NGO
Narmaday Har
Hail victory to the sacred waters of life
Established in 2016, Rewananada is a growing Yogic Welfare Society Trust and an NGO in Maheshwar, focusing on youth education, conserving nature and community support.
Our motivation is to uplift humanity and protect nature.
OUR MISSION
SPIRITUAL ARTS SCHOOL
Through the established Art School in Maheshwar, Rewananda offers yoga and meditation classes and organises workshops related to art, craft, Indian classical dance and music to children and young people who are economically deprived. The aim of the School is to provide free access to spiritual arts education, the concept often absent in the traditional public-school system.
CONSERVING NATURE
In Rewananada, we are deeply committed to reducing our footprint on the environment and are dedicated to preserve the nature around us. Be it regular seasonal tree plantations, water preservation initiatives, a ‘Plastic-free Maheshwar’ scheme or various educational talks concerning the environmental awareness.
COMMUNITY INITIATIVES
Through the network of like-minded people, with the sense of belonging and working towards one bigger goal, we frequently initiate community events. These include food distribution, yoga workshops or the opening of our first Charity shop in Maheshwar. We also run various events throughout the year for our elderly fellow citizens.
SPONSORS
Our school runs primarily from the support of the kindhearted sponsors and their donations. If you would like to also support our activities, or get more information about what we do, do not hesitate to contact us via the link below.
Rewananda is a registered NGO with the registration number: 03/30/06/18760/16.
We are a Yogic enterprise, an NGO aspiring to be sustainable through enriching and empowering ourselves and locals with Spiritual, Artistic and Holistic healthy community initiatives. Rewananda is open and active throughout the whole year. We organise various activities with children from the Arts School, environmental causes and community initiatives. Our latest activities and plans can be found here in the ‘What’s New’ section.
Charity shop bazaar Rewananda
A first charity bazaar shop was open in Maheshwar by Rewananda Yog and Welfare Society in October 2019. This was a lovely occasion, bringing a new concept in the town. The principle is: “bring what you no longer need, take what is useful for you”. In India people clean their houses and usually dispose of unwanted clothes, decorative pieces, appliances and other items, especially before and during the festive seasons. Often people just toss out their unwanted goods to the bins as there are no other places for such items. Rewananda charity shop is a place where people can drop what they no longer need and make it available for those in need.
Single use plastic – free Maheshwar
Members of Rewananda Yog and Welfare Society organised environmental awareness rally for polythene free Maheshwar. On the day, Rewananda distributed 500 slogan leaflets educating on the harmful effects of plastic in nature. Over 5000 cotton bags were given to local shopkeepers, vegetable and fruit sellers to be used instead of the usual single use plastic bags.
International Yoga Day and Rewananda
On the occasion of the 5th International Yoga Day, Yogi Kapil Shri, from Rewananda NGO based in Maheshwar, brought this ancient practice into the town´s Retirement house. Together with the elderly residents, Kapil Shri spent the morning teaching about yoga, its benefits on health, mind and spirit and practiced basic but effective asanas and pranayama. Yoga knows no limits and is for everyone. We all should learn basics of yoga and experience its life-long health benefits, despite the age or circumstances.
Regular tree plantation at Rewananada
At Rewananda the tree planting became a regular yearly event during which we try to plant as many trees as possible, either in the form of seedlings or seed balls. In August 2019 we planted over a thousand threes and five thousand seed balls. This season we focused on the dry bushy area with very little life near Maheshwar. With the help of Rewananda Yog Welfare Society members, as well as Swatantra Yoga members, we also planted trees in the local police station and in the hospital area.
New School Term at Rewananda
On the 16th of March, our NGO Rewananda Yoga and Welfare Society kicked-off the new term of Rewananada free Art School for the local children of Maheshwar. Participating girls started to learn all about Macramé. Macramé is an art of knotting strings in patterns to make decorative craft.
In Rewananda we believe that teaching self-sustainable skills creates a foundation for a better future of these children and their children, too. In the poor communities around India, it is not rare to see girls being married off at a very young age. As married women they don’t get an opportunity to develop much creative and art skills apart from those useful as the daily house-wife tasks. One of Rewananda’s aims is to bring free art classes to as many children within the community.
