Finding Purpose Through

Service and Sharing

Life is a journey through happiness and distress. Sharing realizations from that journey with every living being is my life’s goal. The more I serve, the deeper my realizations. And the deeper my realizations, the more the clarity to know and intensity to do what I need to do to discover my self-realized purpose.

Food4Lives

Food4Lives was founded in 2017 by 12 Georgia Tech and Emory students guided by Vedaji. Their original goal was to serve Atlanta’s homeless population with fresh vegetarian meals. Approaching the homeless, we discovered painful truths. These individuals wore tattered clothes, suffered from the effects of substance abuse, and endured the harsh elements. In addition to their other struggles, we learned that many of the unhoused feel forgotten and ostracized from society.

Vedaji’s mission is to serve our neighbors experiencing homelessness and remind them that they are cared for and loved. Since we began, we have served 1.5 million servings of food, clothes and medical supplies to over 500,000 souls across 5 cities in the US. He always says that “in serving them, we find gratitude for what we have received and purpose for what we are meant to be.”

The Monk Mode

The Monk Mode is a community of young monks started by Vedaji during the pandemic with one goal: help #1MillionMen experience the inner revolution of monkshood and become conduits of inspiration for the rest of the world. Our challenges focus on cultivating higher tastes – in a group of like minded young men. They follow a structured curriculum and activity plan to empower young men to use the principles of Bhakti Yoga in a community setting, with access to experienced monks with nearly 75 years of combined experience in the practice. We make monk-hood fun, refreshing and transformative.

Bhakti Yoga Family

Yoga is more than fun; it is a lifestyle to sustain elevation in consciousness. With young people feeling disenfranchised by the hypocrisy in the world around them, they seek not just cheap thrills that subsides their loneliness temporarily, but a purpose driven life built on sound principles. Vedaji has been serving young men and women over the last 3 decades. Over 2000 individuals have found transformation in his guidance, and have become successful entrepreneurs & community leaders – but with happier lives.

"Vedaji is an amazing teacher, mentor & friend. He imbibes the mood of deeply personal service at his Food4Lives initiative which touches the hearts of the unhoused we feed & volunteers alike. This is very inspirational for me to witness. Every interaction with him shifts me from my headspace to my heart space. He makes me feel empowered to be a conduit of this heart space energy through the MSI initiative. I’m forever grateful for this chance to cultivate the garden of my heart with the rain shower of his compassion."

"Food4Lives has reshaped the way I view the world, but it’s been equally transformative in changing the way I view myself. The community taught me how to find strength in vulnerability, cultivated my capacity for empathy, and most importantly, it taught me that I am always worthy of forgiveness for my mistakes. While I have many reasons to be thankful to Food4Lives, I’m most grateful for the lesson of self-forgiveness. This lesson has emboldened me to live a more compassionate, honest, and fearless life."

Elijah D.

Psychologist

"I’m beyond grateful for my introduction to Kirtan with Veda and his community; I’ve entered there in some truly terrible headspaces, but I always leave with a lighter heart and a little more love to share! Their Food4Lives program shares their cooking, consciousness, connections, and love with those who may have gone years without such treatment. I’ve never met so many beautiful people who are always looking to give more of themselves; the garden is another initiative that has helped us volunteers reconnect with the earth, and brings Food4Lives full circle(from the ground, to the kitchen, right back to those in need). Veda and his community exemplify self-love, peace, and selfless service of others. Every moment I’ve spent here is slowly but surely healing my mind and soul."

“Food4Lives has shown me that, even in a time that feels dominated by self-importance and division, it’s possible to build a diverse community based upon the principles of mutual aid and respect. In fact, people are hungry, not just for food, but for meaningful connection to a community that is greater than themselves.”
