OBJECTIVE:

Govardhana Stichting is a Netherlands-based non-profit foundation that seeks to build a replicable model of sustainable and conscious living, aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Dutch national priorities for climate neutrality, circular economy, animal welfare, and social inclusion.

The foundation’s purpose is expressed through three interlinked pillars — P1,P2,P3

P1:Purpose: Cultivating inner well-being and consciousness through yoga, meditation, Ayurveda, and meaningful living. This promotes mental resilience, compassion, and harmony in modern society.

P2:People: Empowering individuals and communities through education, inclusion, and livelihood creation, fostering social cohesion and equal opportunity.

P3:Planet: Regenerating ecosystems through organic farming, water harvesting, renewable energy, waste management, and animal welfare.

The Stichting aims to contribute to the Netherlands’ sustainability, health, and social cohesion goals by integrating inner transformation, ethical living, and ecological responsibility into one scalable model of regenerative living.
