Mission of World Welfare

Knowledge must Transform

• Swami Nirviseshananda emphasizes that “the main aim of spiritual pursuit is to gain the right knowledge of ourselves as well as of the world so that we can live a life of joy, freedom and fulfillment. Evidently, the earlier in life we start the pursuit the better.”

• Swamiji’s brilliant exposition of the Upanishads and Bhagavadgeeta inspires the seekers to apply the universal values to their daily life and expand their mind with the spiritual magnificence of the eternal concepts.

Swamiji says…

“Shift the focus from external situations, to the mind's response to them. Do whatever leads to mind's expansion, strength and transparence.”

* * *

“For self-improvement, always try to bring in the transformation at the causal level. Shift the focus from actions to their cause – the thoughts; from the thoughts to their cause – the mind-set (bhaava) giving rise to them. Transform the mind-set or “bhaava” by relentless contemplation on the infinitude and unaffectedness of the Soul.”

* * *

“Progress in spiritual pursuit is measured by the growth of our unaffectedness in any world situation.”

• Narayanashrama Tapovanam emerged as an abode of learning in 1963.

• The Ashram located in Trichur, Kerala, embodies the unique tradition of Guru-shishya Parampara, disseminating Brahmavidya (Science of Ultimate Reality) through regular classes, discussions, publications, and above all, through learning in the association of a realized spiritual Master.

• The focus is on the study of the mind and its behavioural intricacies to make it free and fulfilled.

Narayanashrama Tapovanam

“Religion depends on the faith in some concept of God or the Creator of the Universe. Spirituality begins when we start questioning our faith, our concept of God.”
