About Members

Manoj Singla is a devoted Krishna follower and a compassionate physician, driven by a deep commitment to healing and serving others. Born into a humble Hindu family in India, he grew up facing the challenges of poverty, which taught him the values of resilience, hard work, and empathy. These early experiences shaped his understanding of life’s struggles and fueled his desire to make a meaningful impact on the world.

From childhood, Manoj cared for cows, which instilled in him a profound spiritual connection to these sacred beings and a deep understanding of their significance in our lives. His journey to becoming a physician was not easy—he had never even heard of America until he came here to pursue his career. Today, he is grateful for the opportunities he has had and believes that everything he has is a gift from divinity, meant to be shared with others.

In addition to his medical practice, Manoj is deeply engaged in spirituality, which enhances his empathy and strengthens his bond with others. He firmly believes in the transformative power of kindness and service, and strives to live by these principles every day—whether in his professional work or in his spiritual practice.

Motivated by a desire to contribute to a more compassionate world, Manoj draws from his own life experiences to inspire others. He is blessed with a loving wife and son, who share his devotion to Krishna. His son, who leads the Krishna Bhakti club at Penn State’s main campus, is actively serving Krishna, and together, they are raising him with the timeless values of Sanatan Dharma.

Amrita is a seasoned IT and risk management professional who has called the Reading/Wyomissing area home since moving to the U.S. in 2002. With an MBA from Alvernia University in Reading, she brings a strong blend of technical expertise and heartfelt community involvement to everything she does.

Rooted in the values of “वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम्” — the world is one family — and “सर्व जीव समान” — all living beings deserve equal respect and compassion, Amrita leads with empathy, integrity, and a deep sense of responsibility. These guiding principles are the cornerstone of her personal and professional journey.

Amrita has been instrumental in organizing events that share the wisdom of spirituality, often collaborating with the Art of Living Foundation and similar platforms. Her initiatives thoughtfully bridge technology, service, and soul, enriching the lives of those around her.

Her lifelong compassion for all living beings was shaped by her father, whose kindness extended to caring for birds and animals at his automobile showroom in Nasvadi, India. His example instilled in her a deep and enduring commitment to empathy, which she carries forward in her own life.

From a young age, Amrita has embraced the motto of spreading joy. She celebrates Indian festivals with vibrant creativity and uses each occasion as an opportunity to foster community connection, learning, and cultural appreciation. Through volunteerism and mentorship, she transforms these celebrations into platforms for togetherness and growth.

As a devoted wife and mother of two young sons, Amrita is passionate about raising her family with the spirit of seva (selfless service). She actively involves her children in community service and champions women’s empowerment, firmly believing that the divine Devi energy lives within each of us.

Girish, a proud resident of the Reading/Wyomissing area since 1989, was born in India into a Humble but financially struggling Jain family. From a young age, he witnessed the beauty of knowledge alongside the harshness of life’s challenges. At just 17, he lost his father—a loss that forced him to become the pillar of strength for his entire family.

Instead of pursuing his own dreams, he chose the path of sacrifice—taking full responsibility for his mother, siblings, and their future. With unwavering determination, he began building a small business from scratch in India to support them. That journey became a lifelong mission: to uplift others through selfless service.

After moving to the U.S., Girish entered the hospitality industry, where he not only built a successful business but also mentored countless young professionals, teaching them how to rise from the ground up—just as he did. For more than 30 years, he’s been a guide, teacher, and silent supporter for many in the community.

His heart beats for seva and dharma. Girish has:
• Adopted and supported cows in India, providing lifelong care through trusted gaushalas.
• Donated oxygen ventilators and medical aid during COVID, saving lives when it mattered most.
• Supported rural schools in India, ensuring children receive uniforms, meals, and education so they can stand strong in the world.
• Contributed to spiritual and community upliftment, quietly helping numerous causes without ever seeking recognition.
• Built a legacy of giving—where the only reward he seeks is the smile of someone whose life has been touched.

Rooted in values, and led by compassion, Girish’s mission continues through his unwavering support for cow protection, spiritual education, Sanatan Dharma, and community service. He believes that the true measure of life is not in what we take, but in what we give.
