What really gives me zeal in life is contributing to society. With Sarvam Shakti, I found wings for this passion. Girls in Sarvam Shakti are true examples of Living with Values’, by learning yoga and Indian classical dance forms they display the power of ancient art forms. Every step and move they perform on stage indicates the devotion they have put into learning and practicing these arts with full vigor. Cultured, full of mannerisms, and with lots of joy in their heart they are the epitome of unconditional universal love. I am SPOC of reaching out to Sarvam Shakti. Each girl of Sarvam Shakti is a gift to the world and what best could be other than becoming the medium to have this talent spread to the world and benefit humanity? I have great dreams for Sarvam Shakti to be successful and there is the right ingredient already in the organization to reach that zenith, As I mentioned I just could be the way or medium to have the right threads connect for their upliftment. Please reach out to me for any event you would like to have organized or for any other assistance you want to extend to an organization. We also appreciate it if you could help monetarily by giving them financial support, so they can build their careers ahead. I look forward to collaborative efforts for the cause.
