Welcome to the inaugural issue of Vasudha Calling ….
In a world driven by materialism and consumerism, the urgency of embracing sustainable practices grows every day. Vasudha—a resource
center for sustainable lifestyles inspired by Swami Vivekananda’s teachings and Indic philosophy—stands as a beacon of hope for individuals and communities striving for harmony with nature.
This newsletter serves as a platform for knowledge sharing, collaboration, and inspiration, guiding you towards sustainable living. Through our carefully curated articles, we explore both the philosophical underpinnings and practical aspects of sustainability.
This issue highlights diverse perspectives and practical solutions for sustainable living:
