Disciples of the Divine Word – DDW
In October 1999 a lay association of those who had attended Atma Darshan programmes was called ‘Disciples of the Divine Word’ (DDW). The initial aim was to reflect over, pray for, and reach out to the poor and marginalized. The purpose of the group got fine-tuned as the years went by and today they have a 3-fold purpose – (a) to know, learn and integrate aspects of SVD spirituality relevant to their personal and family lives; (b) to grow as a team, and (c) to reflect over, pray for, and reach out to the poor and marginalized.
