REFORMATION OF HOLY PILGRIMAGE PLACES:
India enjoys the reputation of being the premiere holy land. It is deemed not only the mother of religion but also the seabed of spirituality. No other nation on earth has had its sacred soil trodden by so many countless divine personalities, prophets, saint, sages, rishis and Godhead. Note that among them, Jesus is one such noble personality. That’s why this Mission makes every effort to reform and preserve these sacred holy pilgrimage centers. There are hoodlums today who roam about their precints just to exploit unsuspecting or unassuming pilgrims.
Moving Ashrams
In an attempt to increase awareness of the ideals of Vedanta philosophy and the way of life the Sangha has formed seven moving Ashrams consisting of highly educated and spiritually advanced Sanyasins. These groups travel through villages and towns throughout the country organizing meetings and conferences, and offer spiritual services to create awareness of the Vedanta ideals.
During the year 2004-2004, these groups organized more than 265 cultural and spiritual programmes through which they interacted with more than 850000 people.
Householder Ashrams
The Acharya was a great believer of unity amongst 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 setup a forum though 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 the 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.
Pilgrim Services
The Sangha actively provides services for pilgrims at places of worship and religious fairs. Started in 1924, this movement now enjoys a country-wide support from all sections of the society.
