AYUDH Chicago

What Is AYUDH?

AYUDH, the international youth movement of the MA Centers, seeks to empower young people to integrate universal values into their daily lives. Starting with themselves, AYUDH helps establish a future of hope, peace and social engagement while maintaining an awareness of spiritual principles. AYUDH stands for Amrita Yuva Dharma Dhara, a Sanskrit term meaning "the youth who perpetuate the wheel of dharma (righteousness)"; in Sanskrit, AYUDH also means peace, symbolized by the dove in its logo.

AYUDH is active in North American, European, Asian, Australian and African countries. AYUDH Chicago is one branch of this global tree.

When Does AYUDH Meet?

The AYUDH Chicago group meets on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of every month from 2:00 to 4:30 p.m. at MA Center Chicago. Sessions include opening prayers, shlokas, bhajans, personality development, Amma's teachings, meditation and stress-relief techniques, yoga and breathing exercises, and volunteer activities.
