Our mission is to encourage kindness in the world, especially in prisons and jails. We send free books and newsletters about interfaith spiritual practices such as meditation, yoga, and a lifestyle of radical kindness. Hundreds of people request our free materials each week, and we work hard to respond to each of them with compassion and a personal touch. Our Prison-Ashram Project has been operating since 1973 and currently has more than 35,000 on the active mailing list.
