Invaded by the absence of true understanding, he has become a prey to anger, violence, promiscuity, hatred, jealousy and innumerable vices. All talks and programs about human values or living values will serve only as a superficial cosmetic application from time to time unless the very root is cured. Only the process of inner purification through the practice of the science of meditation can transform a being so that virtues become natural instead of mere imitation. Thus the Society focuses on inner transformation with a view to attain global well-being. Hence, all its activities are geared towards: - Arousing true love, brotherhood, peace and understanding among human beings. - Generating an all round healthy and pleasant atmosphere - Inculcating respect for oneself, other living beings, including man, animals and the environment. - Creating awareness for the need of harmonious progress at all levels aligned with the laws of nature. - Our main objective is to offer every interested individual an opportunity to expand his consciousness through the science of meditation and awaken the dormant 95.5%, as proven by psychology. This high proportion of human unconsciousness is the cause of all the evils the world is facing today. Without the expansion of consciousness, transcendence of human weaknesses is not possible and suffering is inevitable. We are therefore aiming at creating self-awareness and a global mind transformation through the practice of the science of meditation. ---- Expected outcome of the activities It generates understanding first and is followed by self-willingness to improve and evolve towards self-actualization.

Is applicable and beneficial to children as from age 12, adolescents and adults. Is focused on human beings but also deals with global issues by addressing every unit of the social fabric and eventually aiming at producing world class citizens. Addresses the concerns of value-based subjects such as human values, living values, conflict resolution skills, socialization skills and will power to say no to detrimental practices, not with a superficial cosmetic touch, but striving at the very root through mind transformation and an inner search for perfection. Is practical, dynamic and outcome-based and offers visible and measurable benefits in the flowering of a human being; is capable of changing quality of living. Is a constructive and preventive approach against emotional collapse and social degradation through inner cleansing of an individual. Understanding the value of human existence perpetuates love for others, which sows the seed of generosity, compassion, forgiveness, sympathy, respect for the value of life, care for others, etc. Is infallible and ascertains cumulative attainment milestones through sustained support till the individual is self-sufficient. ---- Activities Meditation is a regular feature and main goal, and all means that can assist in leading towards reaching the meditative state are promoted.
