Spiritual Harmony


In an attempt to increase awareness of the ideals of Vedantic philosophy and the way of life the Sangha has formed seven moving Ashrams consisting of highly educated and spiritually advanced Sannyasins. These groups travel through villages and towns throughout the country organizing meetings and conferences and offering spiritual services to create awareness of the Vedantic ideals.

During the year 2004-2004, these groups organized more than 265 cultural and spiritual programs through which they interacted with more than 850000 people.

The Acharya was a great believer in unity among all sections of society. He dreamt of a society free from divisions of caste, creed, or religion and abhorred the idea of untouchability. The Sangha has set up a forum through which societal reforms could be achieved.

The Householder Ashrams is a common platform through which people from all sections and economic strata unite and work for the welfare of society. The Sangha maintains hundreds of such Ashrams in India and abroad which carry out various activities that particularly benefit the economically, religious, and spiritually disadvantaged.

The Sangha actively provides services for pilgrims at places of worship and religious fairs. Started in 1924, this movement now enjoys country-wide support from all sections of society. The Sangha has played a pivotal role in creating a healthy and favorable atmosphere at these places. The services include free shelter and facilities, medical treatment, and spiritual services.
