Society of Nirmala Dasi Sisters (SNDS)

Initially it was started as a Pious Union under the title, "The Community of Nirmala Dasis." The Founding Fathers themselves taught and trained the first members to spend their life in poverty, simplicity and obedience, being ready to be led in all matters by the words of Jesus, our Master
