About Us
We are humans from diverse walks of life who are driven by our enquiry to understand reality and live with meaning and harmony on this planet.
We are a self-supporting group of people, with no religious, political affiliation or ‘formal membership’, bound by a common vision and purpose – and no, we are not a ‘sect’!
~
This work is seminal in nature.
We have found a resolution in this
proposal.
~
We are, or have been engineers, farmers, architects, housewives, scientists, social activists, corporate honchos, monks, educationists and students, rich, middle-class and poor; well-read and not so much from villages, towns and cities across India, from small colleges to top-notch institutes.
We are common in that we have an honest quest for the truth and a meaningful, useful life. We feel this ‘knowledge’ is the fundamental need of the human and the ‘long-term’ solution to humanities problems.
~
WORKSHOPS are not a source for our livelihood. We are engaged in various activities for our material needs. And common activities for our behavioral, intellectual and existential fulfillment.
~
Those engaged seriously with the philosophy number in the few hundreds. Not everyone who studies also conducts workshops or shivirs.
Some of us have come together at various locations across India to form dedicated CENTRES for the study, practice and dissemination of this philosophy. Browse through our locations.
The list below is only representative. We haven't given names or pictures. This is because the 'teaching' is of importance. That said, the 'teaching' resides in the 'teacher'. Words are but a medium.
