Deeksha agrawal
Everything in life leads us up to each moment here and now. In 2020, I took a conscious decision to devote my life to Animal Conservation and Animal well-being. When I read about Gay’s work on Elephant PTSD, I saw the essentiality of understanding the whole. But what drew me to Kerulos wasn’t just the work – it was the kindness, understanding, and wisdom I received from our Sangha and our studies of the Dharma and nonviolence. All of this provided knowledge that explained my experiences with nonhuman Animals and the natural world in a way I couldn’t before.
I hope to spread this feeling of belonging, compassion, and connections for all living beings—where everything and everyone fit together naturally and there’s always room to grow and explore. I am very grateful for this perspective, home, and sangha.
