Building Conscious Communities

After a career in entrepreneurship and management, around ten years ago, Sandeep Anirudhan quit conventional life, without savings or wealth to fall back on, and plunged blindly into volunteering and serving towards betterment of society and the planet. He trusted that the universe has his back.

What inspired him?

When he witnessed the death of a close one, it made him acutely aware of the limited time we have in this life on earth. This drove him to reveiew his life choices, and to evaluate what he was doing with that limited time. He felt that conventional life was a waste of our limited time, so he decided to dedicate himself to causes that are larger than self..

Ever since, he has been questioning everything around him, and contributing to the planet and society. His personal and public life are examples of 'minimalism', 'gift economy' and community engagement.

COMMUNITY BUILDING

He has built several communities, which play catalysing roles in generating awareness and action, in areas as diverse as Sustainability, Regeneration, Citizen Engagement and Participation, Grass-root Democracy, Water Security, Urban Planning & Governance, Sustainable Mobility, Natural Farming, Conservation, Climate Action, Green Citizenship and Lake Citizenship, etc.,

The Urban citizenship initiatives he convenes are ‘‘Citizens’ Agenda for Bengaluru’, ‘Namma Whitefield’ and ‘Bengaluru Mobility’, and relentlessly pursues the agenda of 74th Amendment implementation through these. He is also deeply involved with the Whitefield Citizens' Ward initiative, which catalyses localisation of governance and planning. His latest contribution in this domain is a Nation Wide collaboration and series of Events and Webinars on the theme of Urban Planing, Governance and Citizen participation, called 'Swaraj for Cities : www.SwarajForCities.in

His planetary citizenship initiatives are ‘Aikyam Community for Sustainable Living’, ‘Coalition for Water Security’, ‘Green Tweet Army’ and ‘Save Pattandur Agrahara Lake’. He is also an active proponent of the Natural Farming movement.

Through all of these communities, he’s been promoting 'conscious living' on our planet. Deriving inspiration from both the ‘Constitution of India’ and ‘Hind Swaraj’ by Gandhiji, his personal and public lives are examples of 'minimalism', 'gift economy' and community engagement.
