We are a network of small organizations working together to serve communities by creating empowering projects such as schools, vocational centers, homes for orphans and volunteer services.

The Ark of Love was born on February 26, 2001 at 9:30 p.m. in São Paulo, Brazil. For years I had been deeply saddened to see the terrible plight of the street children everywhere in the world. Meeting with our group of Kriya Yoga students in São Paulo that night, I shared with them the idea of starting some kind of a shelter for these poor kids, where they could take refuge from the storms of the street life, learn about their spiritual resources, and come out divinely transformed—as in the metaphor of Noah's Ark in the Bible, where the whole creation took refuge and came out purified, renewed. And so the name emerged, very naturally—the "ARK OF LOVE."

​The Sri Hariharananda Education Society's approach in Haridwar, India is to create mini-villages comprising an orphanage, a home for destitute senior citizens, and a women's welfare and vocational center, where all help and look after each other. Here everyone is a teacher to another—children bring joy and spontaneity to the elderly, the senior citizens share their wisdom and teach the value of patience to the younger ones, and the women embrace all in their mothering love.

The Hariharananda Mission in Champawat, India is developing a model to provide a complete development of body, mind and soul based on India's ancient moral and spiritual educational system as formulated by her great rishis (sages), combined with the best of Western sciences and knowledge.
