We wish you a very Happy New Year. India is looking at a changing face of governance and we are all hopeful of progressive decisions in 2015. 
But we must realize that change starts with each one of us. From following our humble resolutions and improving ourselves, to being more sensitive and contributing towards society! Our article this month, "New Clothes for an Old Wisdom" speaks of how this sentiment of change and growth is not new, but classical wisdom.
In the new year, we start with a T'ai Chi workshop and a series of public lectures. We hope to see you there!

Sincerely,
New Acropolis Mumbai
