Our story

AnandBodh asks a simple question: why are we never taught how to be happy? Its answer is in its name. Ānand is joy and Bodh is awareness. Happiness is our natural state, and awareness uncovers it.

AnandBodh Foundation carries that answer to people whose happiness lies buried under want, pain, worry and loneliness — whatever their religion, caste or creed. It begins by removing what hides happiness. Health comes first, because illness is so often how families fall into poverty and good health is how they climb out.

HeartsWill funds the work: ordinary purchases that carry something real to someone who needs it.

Why “AnandBodh”

आनंद (Ānand) is joy. बोध (Bodh) is awareness — the moment of true understanding. Together they say that awareness uncovers joy, and that happiness belongs to every person by right. We always write AnandBodh as one word.
