The Bhavan stands for the reintegration of Indian Culture. In a world falling to pieces under the impact of an amoral technological avalanche, it tries to hold fast to the fundamental values for which our culture stands - RITA, SATYA, YAGNA and TAPAS:

• 1. FAITH in God who informs the Cosmic Order;

• 2. TRUTH which is accord between mind and word and deed;

• 3. DEDICATION which offers all moments of life as an offering to God;

• 4. SUBLIMATION which purifies the body and mind and transmutes instincts, passions and emotions into things of beauty.

This, regardless of forms and doctrines, is Dharma, the three-fold aspects of which are SATHYAM, SHIVAM, SUNDARAM - Truth, Love and Beauty. For these values our forefathers lived and died. So did Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Swami Dayananda, Swami Vivekananda,Gandhiji and Sri Aurobindo among the moderns.

These values are embedded in our national outlook.

We command the respect of the world because of them.

We can look forward to the future withconfidence only.

Because they have the vitality which gives the power to vindicate their validity even in this fear and avarice ridden age of ours.

We, the Bhavan's family, whether it is the smaller one or the larger one, must take every effort in restoring an awareness of these values in personal and collective life.

ॐ पूर्णमद: पूर्णमिद: पूर्णात्पूर्णमुदच्यते
पूर्णस्य पूर्णमादाय पूर्णमेवावशिष्यते ॥

हरि: ॐ

ईशावास्यमिदं सर्व
यक्तिंञ्च जगत्यां जगत्
तेन त्यक्तेन भुञ्जोथा:
मा गृध: कस्य स्विद्धनम् ॥

ॐ सह नाववतु सह नौ भुनक्तु
सह वीर्य करवावहै
तेजस्विनावधीतमस्तु
मा विद्धिषावहै ॥
ॐ शान्ति: शान्ति: शान्ति: ॥

Om. That is perfect, this is perfect, from the perfect arises the perfect. Taking the perfect from the perfect, the perfect alone remains. All that there is, is in-formed and enveloped by the Lord; Whatever that moving thing that is this moving world, Thou shouldst only enjoy it, by giving it up. Covet not the possessions of any man. Om! May He (the Lord) protect us both together; May He nourish us both together; May we work together with great vigour; May our studies shine and be effective; May we not hate others. Om, Let there be peace, and peace, and peace! Om!

The Lord is my Shepherd
There is nothing I shall want
Fresh and green are the pastures.
where He gives me repose
Near restful waters He leads me
To revive my drooping spirit
The Lord is my Shepherd
There is nothing I shall want
Yes the Lord is my Shepherd
There is nothing I shall want

In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful. All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds, the Beneficent, the Merciful, Master of the day of requital. Thee di we sere, and Thee do we beseech for help. Guide us on the right path, the path of those upon whom Thou hast bestowed favours, not of those upon whom wrath is brought down, nor of those who go astray.

There is one God, Eternal Truth is His Name; Maker of all things, Fearing nothing and at enmity with nothing, Timeless is His Image; Not begotten, being of His own Being: By the grace of the Guru, made known to men.

The Meditation

As He was in the beginning : the truth, so throughout the ages, He ever has been : the truth, So even now He is truth immanent, So for ever and ever He shall be Truth eternal.

I seek refuge in Lord Buddha
I seek refuge in the Dhamma
I seek refuge in the Sangha

That King and the spiritual Guru deserve our honour who lead a life of piety and translate God's will into their thoughts, words and deeds. Those people who are blessed with purity of heart and mind and carry on the work of God on earth attain true freedom.

The Person who serves the poor and the helpless is a favourite son of God on earth.

The truth and purity is the greatest gift which God bestows on human beings. That person attains true joy and happiness who gives solace and happiness to others.>
