Founder’s Vision

It is my core conviction that the Srimad Bhagavad Gita – India’s primary scripture -is foundational, essential learning. The Gita, across its dimensions, pillars and applications lights up a path for the world to progress where individuals, institutions and nations can fulfill their highest potential for the common good of all humanity.
