Ancient spiritual Truths have been held by lineages that are still present in the world today.
These Tribal and Aboriginal lineages are being assaulted by modern life and in peril of disappearing from the Earth.
KWF supports the developing communication between native Groups from all parts of the world.
We have helped to connect Australian Aboriginal Elders with the Elders of the Lakota Nation.

The Kirtan Wallah Foundation is also happy to support this endeavor with a monetary donation in addition to help with connecting the elders for this scared gathering. Here is a brief description about the project and information on how you can support, if you choose, the NGOPUN RUWE – WOLAKOTA group’s crowd-funding campaign to make this meeting a reality.

In July, 8 elders from the Southern South Australian tribes will embark on a historical 2-week journey to gather, learn, and share with the Lakota first nations-elders in the South Dakotas USA.This in not just a fluffy feel good trip to the USA – These elders have the future of their community and families at stake – life expectancy and health Statistics are alarming for Indigenous people in this lucky country. The simple act of pledging and sharing this information is going a long way towards enacting the Uluru Statement – “let’s walk together in a movement of the Australian people for a better future”.
This is an all or nothing campaign for us. We have set a target of 21K and we feel we will reach this in no time. It only takes a few minutes to watch this small film we have created and have a look at the page – You will then see how important and vital this gathering is. It will tell you all about the vision and what we aim to achieve. If you can pledge your support and also share this page – We feel the power of this gathering will touch the hearts of immeasurable people now and generations well into the future.

Thank you KD for supporting this amazing project between Australian and Lakota elders. Manny and Renee are friends of mine. To see this project being supported by KWF makes me so so happy. I attended your workshop at Garrison Institute this past winter and I really enjoyed singing Kirtan –which is like a prayer for me. During our breaks I would go for a walk outside and sing the Lakota songs that I have learned which are also prayers. I am so happy and have much gratitude for Maharaji and Hanuman! because I believe they were instrumental in this promotion and are most likely the real movers and shakers here!
