Ananda Marga Yoga Society

a szervezet leírása

Ananda Marga Yoga Society is a non-profit organization, established thirty years ago in Malta. AMYS derives its inspiration from Neohumanism, an approach in individual and collective life that extends respect for all life, from human to animals, plants and the environment. Our motto is Self Development and Service to Society and we envision a world where people care for all beings and the environment. To achieve this, we are guided by our core values of integrity, accountability, compassion, altruism, solidarity and universalism.
To this end, AMYS undertakes and supports activities that improve the quality of life through greater inner and social awareness. This includes regular free classes on meditation and yoga, workshops on ethics and civics, non-formal and informal learning for children and adolescents, (yoga, computer, art, drama, music, sport etc) and training of local and international volunteers, by providing volunteer opportunities to anyone interested in lifelong learning. Our aim is to nurture human potential whenever possible with special focus on people who are socially or economically disadvantaged. To this end, AMYS supports and collaborates with other organisations with similar aims, among them Centru Tbexbix and Prout Malta. This is done by sharing professional trainers and volunteers for mutual capacity building.
AMYS also organises regular trainings and courses for students and youth from all backgrounds. Topics differ but are all in line with our principles of personal and collective development and service to society.
Being a non-profit organisation, AMYS depends on donations, fund-raising events (like vegetarian dinners, concerts) and cooperation with partners for its activities and operations. Currently, we are also looking into local and EU grants for additional support.
