ABOUT US
TerrÂnanda is a non-governmental organisation incorporated under French law (“loi 1901”) without political or religious objective. Its activities and workshops bring together people from all backgrounds and nationalities around the same goal: the compelling necessity to change our habits and our personal and collective behaviours in order to bring about our essence, our spiritual heart to be able to gaze upon the world with serenity and amazement.
We live in times of hope for a change in humanity towards more awareness and sense, and ultimately towards a life governed by the highest principles of Love, Peace, Joy and a new way of living together in harmony with Mother Earth.
TerrÂnanda’s humble ambition is to help reach this life balance, “to listen to our hearts in order to open the path to creating a peaceful world”, an Earth of Joy … an Earth where respect for yourself, for the others and for Mother Earth is the founding principle of life of a regenerated, happy, supportive and balanced humanity.
This shared vision, our hearts’ dream, has brought us together, the founding members of TerrÂnanda. Let’s listen to our hearts !

FOUNDING MEMBERS
After first meeting Mukeshanand during silent heart meditation sessions, many men and women were impressed by him and deeply moved by the power of the Happiness and Love Energy that he shares during these sessions. They spontaneously offered to help Catherine with her project and in a mere few weeks, a merry team was set up to define the founding principles and shape the objectives of the NGO.
The name TerrÂnanda, Earth of Joy, from the Sanskrit word Anand (Joy), soon appeared self-evident to represent and embody this initiative that connects us to the soul of India and to Mukeshanand, which are both at the heart of our community.
The founding members take an active part in establishing TerrÂnanda’s activities and ensuring that the NGO remains at all times in line with its founding principles.

silent meditation… learning to listen to yourself, to go inside yourself,
to find peace and the joy of being. Everything is inside us. TerrÂnanda is a space of sharing, of support,
of spreading joy and love to become ambassadors of Peace.

meeting Mukeshanand for the first time when travelling in Northern India was such a bliss: I’ll never forget it! I attend faithfully and with much pleasure the silent meditations organised online, during which Mukesh sends us his Love, his Heart Energy and Joy. What an incredible gift!
(Cannes 06)Geneviève
TerrÂnanda makes you see yourself and those around you in a different light. I started following Catherine on the great adventure of Seva Café in Grasse, which made me discover the gift-economy model and a new way of relating to people. Meeting Mukeshanand, who irradiates with kindness, understanding and generosity, made me aware of how powerful meditation can be, and I am happy to participate in sharing this Love to create a peaceful world.
(Marseille 13)Martine
I wanted to support my sister’s initiative as a matter of course, and through her I met Mukeshanand and the powerful Love and Peace Energy that he shares during the meditations. I am also a member of TerrÂnanda because I want to support Mukeshanand relentless help to families in need, to children’s education, and in emergency situations as we recently faced. TerrÂnanda has quickly become a great family, a brotherhood always happy to meet up.
(Libourne 33)Evelyne
we love this NGO because it allows every human being to reconnect with his/her inner self while opening his/her heart to others.
(Monaco)Ariane et Philippe
I support TerrÂnanda because I am convinced that inner change is the key to building a world with greater harmony. When we connect ourselves to our inner joy, we connect ourselves to life itself.
(Mouans-Sartoux 06)Liliana
Mukeshanand and TerrÂnanda are one and the same. Mukeshanand helped me trigger a deep change in my life towards more peace and joy in my everyday life. Over the months, TerrÂnanda has become a genuine “resource” community providing support and space for sharing, with which I feel bound by a common aspiration : “change yourself to change the world”.
(Antibes – 06)Eléonore
Through the joy and inner light irradiating from him, Mukeshanand gave me the will and wish to be myself again and to connect to my spiritual heart, to find in it my inner resources, without pressure. His meditations are moments dedicated to opening your heart, to receiving an exhilarating energy, and to meeting your inner self.
(Arcachon – 33)Laurence
By joining TerrÂnanda, I wish to support Mukeshanand’s work. He is a simple, humble human being overflowing with wisdom, love and kindness, dedicated to helping the poor, and more generally anyone in pain or in need. He never asks for anything but he can count on us! He gives us the strength to carry on, to be our better selves and thus to look upon our fellow human beings with kindness and understanding. Thank you Mukeshanand !
