Who We Are

Many ask, “how can you mix spirituality and social service” ?

We ask, “How can you separate the two?”

Those who wish to sincerely serve society must be spiritually pure and only those who are spiritually pure can sincerely serve society!

Girnari Education and Charitable Trust is a socio-spiritual Hindu organization with its roots in the Vedas. It was revealed by Gurudev and established by Akhandanand sarasvati maharaj. Founded on the pillars of practical spirituality, the Sanstha reaches out far and wide to address the spiritual, moral and social challenges and issues we face in our world. Its strength lies in the purity of its nature and purpose. Girnari Education and Charitable Trust strives to care for the world by caring for societies, families and individuals. Today, many followers begin their day with puja and meditation, lead upright, honest lives and donate regular hours in serving others. No Alcohol, No Addictions, No Adultery, No Meat, No Impurity of body and mind are their five lifetime vows. Such pure morality and spirituality forms the foundation of the humanitarian services performed by Girnari Education and Charitable Trust.

Girnari Education and Charitable Trust strives to better society through individual development by instilling values, promoting spirituality, cultivating skills, and nurturing growth. We aim to preserve Indian culture and the Hindu ideals of faith, unity, and selfless service in diverse communities around the world. We envision a society whose joy lies in the joy of others.

Through these efforts, the Girnari Education and Charitable Trust sustains the universal value of Hindu culture—encouraging devotion to God by imbibing such faith in all aspects of life

Basic Acceptance

The core philosophical principles, disciplines, and practices which identify the Girnari Education and Charitable Trust and its followers are rooted in ancient Hindu scripture, the Vedas. This solid foundation resonates with millions of people around the world:

We are the Soul and are not this body. This atmagyan is essential for a spiritual aspirant to reach Paramatma. Spiritual aspirants should not consume addictive substances nor should they eat onion, garlic, and other tamasic foods. A vegetarian diet (no meat, no eggs, no poultry, and no seafood) should be followed. One should not steal. One should not commit adultery.

Parmatma is always present on Earth through the Gurudev. Selflessly serving God, the Gurudev, and the community is the only way to rid one’s self of base desires and faults. One can only attain moksha by pleasing the Gurudev and eradicating inner voices (anger, lust, greed, envy, and attachment) by imbibing ekantik dharma.
