In a world starkly divided by the allocation of trillions to military budgets versus a mere $34 billion to peace-building efforts, Go Dharmic emerges as a profound call to action. Founded by Hanuman Dass, this movement is a testament to the power of peace, aiming to mobilize an “army of peace” in response to the world’s disparities.
Dass’s journey from a successful trader in central London to the heart-driven founder of Go Dharmic is both inspiring and transformative. Despite his outward success, Dass felt a void, a disconnect from a deeper humanity, particularly stirred by the sight of countless individuals living on the streets. His life took a pivotal turn upon encountering Ram Dass, whose teachings of love and compassion resonated deeply, inspiring Dass to make his life a statement of these values.
Embracing the simple yet profound message from Neem Karoli Baba, “Love all, Feed all, Serve all,” Dass embarked on a mission that began with distributing bananas to the homeless in London. This act of kindness has since burgeoned into a global crusade, with Go Dharmic now boasting over 22 million meals distributed worldwide, alongside significant contributions to environmental sustainability, disaster relief, and education.
The lineage behind that phrase reaches further than it might appear. Neem Karoli Baba, who died in 1973, taught a small circle of Western seekers in northern India during the late 1960s, among them the Harvard psychologist Richard Alpert, who took the name Ram Dass and later wrote Be Here Now. That book carried the teaching to a generation of American readers and, through them, into a network of service organisations still operating today. Go Dharmic sits within that chain rather than outside it, which is part of why its founder’s account of a chance encounter reshaping a trading career has a familiar shape.
Go Dharmic’s impact is not just measured in numbers but in the hearts touched and communities transformed across the United Kingdom, India, the United States, and beyond. With initiatives ranging from food distributions in Skid Row to planting trees in India, Go Dharmic addresses the multifaceted needs of our global family, guided by the mission of unconditional love and service.
The movement has also made strides in promoting peace with oneself as the foundation for peace with nature. Through practices such as neuroscience-backed meditation and the development of a meditation app centered around loving kindness, Go Dharmic advocates for inner tranquility as a pathway to compassionate action. Yada Yoga, a contributor to Go Dharmic, offers bespoke wellness programs, furthering the mission to connect individuals with their inner selves and, by extension, to the broader community.
Mike Packman, CEO of Keystone National Properties and Go Dharmic board member, has been pivotal in helping Go Dharmic support more people in need especially in the Himalayan foothills. When Mike first came to the Himalayas he was moved by Go Dharmic’s program to help the local children with better education facilities. Packman’s journey from a successful business leader to a philanthropic force within Go Dharmic highlights the transformative power of service and compassion. His motto, “doing well by doing good,” exemplifies the ethos that drives the organization forward.
Go Dharmic’s call to action is clear: they invite individuals, families, and corporations to join a community rooted in peace, compassion, and non-violence (Ahimsa). This unique lens through which Go Dharmic views the world is one of unity and collective responsibility. The upcoming community and retreat center in the Himalayas symbolizes this vision, offering a space for spiritual growth and service, embodying the belief that success transcends financial gain, touching the essence of opening hearts and aiding others.
