ব্রহ্ম বিদ্যা মন্দির, ভাবের প্রতিষ্ঠিত আশ্রমগুলির মধ্যে একটি। এটি ভাবে প্রতিষ্ঠিত ছোটো মহিলা গোষ্ঠী, জার উদ্দেশ্য মহিলাদের গোষ্ঠীর মধ্যে স্বনির্ভর ও অহিংস করা। এই গোষ্ঠী নিজেদের খাদ্যের প্রয়োজন নিজেরাই চাষাবাদ করে মেটাত, কিন্তু তা গান্ধীজীর আদর্শ, দীর্ঘস্থায়িত্ব ও সামাজিক ন্যায় মেনে। This community, like Gandhi and Bhave, has been influenced greatly by the "Bhagavad-Gita" and that is also used to determine their practices. The community perform prayers as a group every day, reciting from the ঈশোপনিষদ্ at dawn, the Vishnu Sahasranama at mid-morning, and the "Bhagavad-Gita" in the evening. As of today, there are around 25 women who are members of the community and several men have also been allowed to join in the community.

Since its founding in 1959, members of Brahma Vidya Mandir (BVM), an intentional community for women in Paunar, Maharashtra, have dealt with the struggle of translating Gandhian values such as self-sufficiency, non-violence, and public-service into specific practices of food production and consumption. BVM's existence and the counter-narrative its residents practice demonstrate how one community debate the practicalities and tradeoffs in their application of self-sufficiency, non-violence, and radical democracy to their own social and geographic context. One mainstream narrative described by BVM and the farmers that work with them is that large-scale agriculture is inevitable, necessary, and the sole possibility of feeding the world. Instead, at BVM they reject the narrative that success in agriculture comes from expensive technology. BVM is a small community in India, therefore it does not hold much power to promote its beliefs and practices in the mainstream. Meanwhile, India today proudly proclaims its large and growing middle class, and although many see Gandhi as a hero, some reject his views in favor of US-style-consumerism and look for an alternate route in agriculture with technological advancements. The existence of BVM provides a counter-narrative on enacting alternative agricultural and social practices that were already being practiced by BVM´s women back in the 1960s.
