Cultivating Joy and Inner Wellbeing
Empowering Today’s Youth with a Higher Purpose

A ship can set sail, but without the captain, who knows where she’ll reach. Through the 5 S programme, Pujya Gurudevshri harnesses the creative potential and intelligence of the younger generation, steering them towards a higher goal.

“Tremendous energy, enthusiasm, exuberance, and power are the assets of today’s youth. They have the drive but need the direction. They have the wings and if given the eyes they can soar high and far in the spiritual skies.”

~ Pujya Gurudevshri ~
