The mind is definitely something that can be transformed, and meditation is a means to transform it. As you breathe in, cherish yourself. As you breathe out, cherish all beings.  - Dalai Lama This has been proven by the incredible success of our recent meditation retreat held from July 25th-27th July,2024.This immersive and interactive Art of Living meditation techniques was taught by two knowledgeable and expert facilitators, Nisheeta Bajaj Janssens, an executive coach and Lavkesh Chaudhary a meditational expert to Manage Your Energy, Not Your Time. Sudarshan Kriya is a transformative breathing technique that provides profound relief from reducing stress, improving sleep, and boosting energy levels. Participants described it as a life-altering experience, serving as a powerful stimulant of self-discovery and emotional well-being- “An experience which will last for a lifetime”. By unlocking the body's internal wisdom through rhythmic breathing, individuals gained a deeper insight into their own thoughts and emotions, taking in a renewed sense of calm and clarity. This unique journey of self-exploration has left a memorable and unforgettable mark which we will continue to cherish and carry the practice forward into our daily lives. Thanking the dedicated team of facilitators & volunteers who made this retreat possible, and to each participant for their openness and commitment.

Sam Altman donates majority of his wealth, joins Gates and Buffett’s ‘Giving Pledge’ Circle! We are excited to share that Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, along with his partner, Oliver Mulherin, has embraced the Giving Pledge. This initiative, founded by Bill Gates, Melinda French Gates, and Warren Buffett, calls on the world’s wealthiest to dedicate the majority of their wealth to philanthropic causes. Altman and Mulherin's commitment reflects their belief in technology’s potential to drive societal progress and abundance. In their pledge letter, Altman and Mulherin expressed profound gratitude for the collective efforts that enabled their success, highlighting their dedication to giving back and enhancing society. They wrote, "We would not be making this pledge if it weren't for the hard work, brilliance, generosity, and dedication to improve the world of many people that built the scaffolding of society that let us get here." They vow to pay it forward and help elevate society. The Giving Pledge has attracted numerous high-profile signatories, including MacKenzie Scott, Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerberg. These individuals have pledged significant portions of their fortunes to address global challenges through philanthropy. Altman’s philanthropic focus aligns with his investment portfolio, which includes companies like Reddit and Stripe, and startups like Helion (nuclear energy) and Retro Biosciences (longevity biotech). Despite having no equity in OpenAI, Altman’s investments demonstrate his commitment to leveraging his wealth for societal benefit. At Ekaimpact, we draw inspiration from these philanthropic leaders who use their resources to drive positive change. Our mission aligns with this vision, as we strive to foster impactful giving and empower communities. Together, we can elevate the scaffolding of society a bit higher. We are here to help you start your philanthropic journey and make a meaningful impact on society. Let's work together to create a better future!
