Social Initiatives of MDSA

Social consciousness has been an integral part of MDSA and its parent organisation MUSS. As individuals change, so does the society they live in. It naturally follows that, as more and more individuals practise the spiritual path, or dharam, the social consciousness finds a new direction, towards eradicating social evils and the prejudices caused by ignorance and lack of understanding. As Shri Maharaj Ji says, the spiritual person cannot stand by and watch injustice and do nothing about it.

To pursue this goal, MDSA has been working with other Social organisations. These organisations have been active in their special domains and have achieved critical acclaim.

• MDSA liaises regularly with Yaadein Vision Australia, a grass-roots charitable society which assists underprivileged children in Fiji and also provides extensive disaster relief in times of natural calamities such as floods and cyclones, most recently in the aftermath of Cyclone Winston in February 2016.
• In 2008, MDSA collaborated with Wattle Grove Toastmasters International to organise a Youth Leadership Program.

Natural disasters are times of desperation. A collective effort is required to restore what has been lost. In line with this humanitarian ethos, MDSA has contributed to various relief efforts over the past few years.
