Subhuti will be giving a live talk today at 3.30pm to celebrate the 129th birthday of Dr Ambedkar.  You can find it here! 

The Order in India is doing the best they can in an extremely demanding situation: helping people in the lockdown with practical support, emotional support and giving support and encouragement.  Like many of us, they are moving most of their teaching activities online.  Today, however, they are celebrating the great example and inspiration of Dr Ambekar.
