We are committed to global sustainability through engagement of people in righteous activities at different levels of society. Our mission is to mainstream our ancient wisdom in the modern education, innovations and developments taking place around us through ‘Satkarma’ (righteous actions) to retain the essence of humanity against the unsustainable growth based on endless materialism. In the current scenario of the sudden outbreak of Corona Virus, the focus of entire humanity has shifted to ‘survive’ and this unfortunate situation however, has given us a ‘rare’ opportunity for self-reflection and to think of ways of reducing the vulnerability of Human race through more sustainable future planning. Our efforts are focused around following major thrust areas.

Spiritual development
Spiritual development is essential to build a society based on compassion and integral development of society. Growing materialism has created many problems in modern society and resulted in weakening of social bonds worldwide. We promote activities to provide people an opportunity for self-reflection and self-development. We conduct discourses, sessions and courses based on the oldest Indian wisdom envisaged in the “Sankhya-Yoga” Philosophy. Sankhya and Yoga are two basic pillars of Indian wisdom and understanding of these two complimentary systems helps one to a great extent in achieving one’s true potential. We organize short duration courses, online courses, camps for promoting understanding of these ancient Indian scriptures in simple words and by applying them in our day to day life contexts.

We are promoting pilgrimage and spiritual tourism with a focus on involving people in conservation of ecology and heritage.
