3D rendition by Daniel Gebhardt

I am fortunate to have in my life family and friends who have provided tremendous support through the difficulties I have lived.  I can only imagine what it’s like for women to have gone through the hardships of mental abuse, rape, violence, identity crises and yes, hunger too - and running into walls with only themselves to pick them up and move on!  In a world where there is more good than evil, it's unfortunate that anyone fall prey to such inhumane atrocities - whether at the instigating, or at the receiving end. Let's all strive to make a difference in our world by focusing on local communities, to make the most substantial impact; to foster these important social connections positively - the huge dividends being love, care, and a kinder world. 

With this desire in my heart, the Ahaana Festival in San Diego launched in 2015 with Yoni ki Baat being the flagship event and introducing a men's platform with MenOlogues in 2017, I wish to spread more awareness, compassion and love. 

We would love to welcome your energy and enthusiasm to the Ahaana Collective - join an Initiative of ours that speaks to your heart!  Gratefully,

 Nanda Mehta
