“I felt so honored by your hospitality and that of the staff of Parmarth Niketan.  The first night of Aarti, we were brought to sit close to the fire. We were uplifted by young men chanting with devotion, the beauty of the music, and the pageantry culminating in honoring those committed to environmental care.  Among the insights that I gained from my time at your Ashram (note- Parmarth spells correct as “warmth”) was that a religious institution is only as large as its purpose. In your case, I am particularly taken by the worldly focus of WASH and the marshaling of resources toward healing the world.”
