On May 1st, 2024, Pratibimb Charitable Trust organized a community wedding in Vikramgadh. Pravin Manker, along with three of his volunteers, Tripti Nakhare, Bhushan Nakhare, and Sushma Sureka, attended the wedding.
This community wedding aimed to provide underprivileged couples with a beautiful and memorable ceremony.
Marriage is a social and legal recognition for a couple to live together with dignity and provide legitimacy to their progeny. In several economically backward regions marriage is an unaffordable ritual and couples choose to live together with heads lowered, avoiding eye contact, socially ostracised. Pratibimb had the good fortune of funding a collective marriage ceremony of nine couples of the Dhartari Samaj at Vikramgad, Palghar district, Maharashtra state on 1st May 2024.

The construction work of the check dam is in progress at Savarde village, about 40 km from Kasara or about 150 km from Mumbai to complete the check-dam.
The next stage would be to provide a solar-powered water pump, storage tank and water filtration system to provide clean drinking water.
The whole project is funded 100% by Pratibimb Charitable Trust, whose core activity is conducting life-improvement programs called Life and Breath (basic course) and Life is Mind Body Spirit (LiMBS – the advance course). These are programs that teach breathing exercises, meditation and laws of living. The funds collected from students during the conduct of these programs are utilised for such charitable work. (Check our upcoming courses here)
This work has inspired students to voluntarily donate handsomely. Pratibimb Charitable Trust is now planning to fund the construction of two more such dams in 2021. We are just waiting for the first project to be declared ready before we embark on the next two.
Activity begins: Initial pictures taken on the check-dam site on 22nd March 2021

Cyclone Nisarga left a trail of devastation over the Raigad District of Maharashtra. Many lost everything that they had. Pratibimb Charitable Trust has put its shoulder to the rehabilitation efforts being carried out by the NGO Vanvasi Kalyan Ashram by funding the rebuilding of 15 homes at Bhoste Wadi village, near Shrivardhan in Maharashtra's Raigad District. Fees and donations collected from the students of the Life and Breath and LiMBS courses conducted by Pratibimb Charitable Trust have made this small but sincere effort possible. Today we say 'THANK YOU' to all those who have attended & benefited from our courses. Keep visiting this section, as, like you, we too hope to see happier pictures emerge with each passing week.
We are glad to share an update on the rebuilding of the 15 homes from the many that were destroyed by Cyclone Nisarga at Bhoste Wadi village in June this year. Though the natural disaster has faded from public memory, Maharashtra's coastal communities are still limping back to normalcy. Through the efforts of the Vanvasi Kalyan Ashram NGO several homes are nearing completion with much of the structural work is done. Yet again, we thank all our students attending the Life and Breath & LiMBS courses, as the fees & donations received have been one of the supporting pillars of this rehabilitation effort.
