Programs

  • Rescuing Animals from Smugglers

    Dhyan Foundation (DF) joins forces with the Border Security Force (BSF) to save 50,000 animals from cattle smugglers along the Indo-Bangladesh border. Its joint efforts have nearly eradicated smuggling in West Bengal over a year. However, the challenge remains to care for 30,000 rescued animals and those from Assam, Tripura, Meghalaya, and Bihar. The organisation encourages people to join this historic cause to support the BSF, and voiceless animals, and combat the cattle mafia funding illegal activities. Maintaining one cow/bull costs ₹2500/month, with ₹60/km per truck for transporting 18 animals to DF's gaushalas in various states.

  • Anand Vidyalaya Programme

    Anand Vidyalaya, an initiative of the Dhyan Foundation operating under the Dhyan Yog Society, is dedicated to educating underprivileged children with untapped potential. Beyond academic instruction, it addresses their immediate needs for food and clothing. Starting small in Gurgaon, it has grown into a network of 15 schools across cities like Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Ludhiana, and Hyderabad, educating over 1000 students in the last three years and successfully transitioning many to mainstream schools. Volunteers from diverse backgrounds offer their time and resources, extending classes even to places like the National Association for the Blind in Delhi and MNJ Hospital in Hyderabad, supporting children with cancer. Regardless of age, caste, or creed, Anand Vidyalaya aims to mould these children into responsible citizens and contribute to a united, caste-less India.

  • Feed A Dog Programme

It actively promotes the adoption and care of strays, offering emergency services through a 24-hour ambulance service for injured animals. Additionally, it sponsors treatment for sick animals and has personally administered 26 treatments. Dhyan Foundation's efforts extend to raising awareness about animal welfare and protection, rescuing animals from cruelty, and addressing issues related to animal cruelty, especially among strays.

  • Sanatan Kriya Programme

    Dhyan Foundation, an organisation based in India, offers the 'Sanatan Kriya' programme, which embodies the holistic principles of Yoga.

This programme encompasses all eight limbs of Ashtang Yog, addressing the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of an individual. It includes practices like Ujjai pranayam, joint rotations, chakra santulan pranayam, paanch mahaprana dhyan, and charity.

  • Help A Monkey Programme

    Dhyan Foundation runs a programme called 'Help A Monkey' aimed at alleviating the suffering of monkeys in various cities. In response to the distressing conditions faced by these animals, the organisation initiated a feeding drive in Delhi, Vrindavan, Hyderabad, Tirupati, and Mysore. In Vrindavan, starting on August 5, 2014, volunteers began a daily feeding programme for 500-600 monkeys, focusing on providing them with fruit and cereal in a designated area. The organisation also collaborates with a local NGO to enhance these efforts and promote responsible feeding practices among locals. Additionally, the Dhyan Foundation plans to create natural habitats for monkeys by planting fruiting trees, requiring support from authorities and the community. Similar feeding programmes have been extended to Delhi, Hyderabad, Tirupati, and Mysore, with dedicated efforts to ensure the well-being of these animals in each location.
