Vision
One day before 2050, India will be the world leader in scientific and spiritual wisdom.
Mission
Through a journey of deeply meaningful experiences, we will create leaders with the moral fibre of Gandhiji, intellect of Nehru and compassion of Mother Teresa who will go on to work in spiritual unison towards the vision.
Our core values
1. Spirituality – We recognize that all knowledge, all wisdom, all morality, all love and compassion, all intuition, all creativity is within us and it will be our endeavor to find the highest form of self through the various means of - service to people (Karma and Bhakti Yoga), intellectual discrimination (Jnana Yoga) and control of senses through austerity (Raja Yoga/Hatha Yoga).
2. Social capital – We recognize the power of every spirited individual to create a movement by themselves. We are committed to serving children, youth and adults in our various means of spirituality, thereby building a circle of committed volunteers for our mission and vision.
3. Public service – We recognize politics as a noble endeavor and one of the many means to serve people. We are committed to creating political leaders of highest quality and integrity who are devoted to the cause of our mission and vision.
Our theory of change
Youth with leadership potential when put through a series of personally transformative experiences over 2 years will develop into leaders with integrity, idealism and an indomitable will to realize the vision2050.
