Ashram Committees

It will take all our efforts to ensure the success of the Temple of Peace. New committees are now forming and many volunteers are needed. Each of these committees will be a vital part of the Ashram – shaping its vision, day-to-day activities, and role in our community. This is a wonderful opportunity for all Kriyavans to be active in the Ashram.
