THE NIRVANA PROJECT - Empowering Youth Transforming Lives to help them follow their Dream
The NIRVANA Project is our initiative with YogaGivesBack. The mission of this project is to enable all youth to reach their full potential as productive and responsible citizens and empower them to follow their dreams and transform their lives for a better tomorrow.
Through this project, we are determined to bring about social change by promoting young talent and inspiring others to believe in the beauty of their dreams. The featured young student, Nagaraju P is an artist in making and a student of Yogagiveback's 210 SHE (Scholarship for Higher Education) program. He belongs to a family in Chamarajanagar, outside of Mysore, India.
Nagaraju loves to sketch meaningful drawings and intends to fulfill his dream of becoming an artist. His artwork was picked to be featured in our collection through our Nirvana Project. We printed the first version of his artwork on a tote bag as shown below.
After encountering some issues with the first version of the artwork, we decided to mentor him by focusing on strengthening his technical artistic skills and giving his artwork a theme of "transformation," hence named it NIRVANA. Through our mentoring, Nagaraju improvised the NIRVANA artwork to make it better, and we printed it on the Nirvana T-Shirts. The skill training will further help him overcome challenges and get further education to achieve his dream through the transformative power of the NIRVANA art.

"NIRVANA is the state where the fires of attachment, aversion, and ignorance extinguish and one experiences true peace and happiness."
