Our Mission
"All authentic mystical traditions proclaim with one strong voice: the aim of spiritual awakening is not merely to realize one's own divine identity, but to serve all beings with compassion and a commitment to justice." ~ Karuna Erickson & Andrew Harvey
Karuna is the Sanskrit word that translates to compassion. It is defined as any action that is taken to diminish the suffering of others; otherwise known as compassion in action.
"Once we experience and feel this inter-dependence of all living beings, we will cease to hurt, humiliate, exploit and kill another. We will want to free all sentient beings from suffering. This is karuna, compassion, which in turn gives rise to the responsibility to create happiness and its causes for all."
~ Suresh Jindal; Interdependence of All Living Beings; The Times of India (New Delhi); Nov 13, 2003.
Karuna For Animals: Compassion In Action, Inc. is an all volunteer, yoga-based, 501(c)3 non-profit organization, whose members seek to promote compassion (karuna), peace (shanti) and loving-kindness (metta) for animals of all species. It is our mission to raise awareness and funds for the rights of all animals. Through a dedicated practice of the science of yoga, community outreach, humane education, vegan cooking and nutrition education, and monthly fundraisers, we aim to cultivate the change we hope to see in the world.
All funds raised are used to support our outreach and education programs, as well as offer monetary gifts to those individuals and organizations whose missions match our own, and who are directly responsible for the rescue, rehabilitation and care of animals of all species.
We hope that you will join us on our peaceful march to end pain and suffering, and instead promote the interconnectedness of all beings, great and small.
