Chirantana Institute of Introspective Studies is a non-profit, non-political and non-sectarian organisation working towards encouraging the habit of self inquiry and development of self knowledge. Its goals lie in unfolding the path towards gnana through studies derived from the Vedas to understand and experience true independence. Chirantana welcomes everybody who wishes to embark on the journey to take charge of their well-being. Our kutumba consists of families, children, youth and inspiring mothers and elders who have taken the sankalpa to not only know themselves, but improve themselves everyday. Our ancestors used these lanterns to guide them on their journey: Shruti- The Vedas, Smriti, Puranas and Itihasa. Chirantana draws on these rich sources of knowledge to pave our paths to acceptance of oneself and the other. We find our roots in the principles expounded in these texts, distinguishing ourselves in our search for true self, letting go of what is assumed to be self. By building a community through intergenerational interaction, we stay roooted to the past, learning from our elders as well as adapting to the demands of the modern world. Chirantana employs introspection and discussion to foster an environment of curiosity and inquisitiveness towards the self and world. It develops mature thought by providing a space to explore various aspects and arrive at rational decisions. We emphasise problem resolution by drawing focus to the bigger picture, encouraging critical thinking, solution oriented thought and acceptance of the present.

Bhuwwaneshvari Foundation is a village-based Gurukula model rooted in the vision of transforming rural India through value-based and culture-centered education. Established in Madhya Pradesh, the Pāṭhaśālā presently educates more than fifty students from nearby villages, blending timeless Bhāratīya wisdom with modern learning to nurture holistic growth. Students engage in the study of Śāstras, Purāṇas, Bhagavad Gītā, Tarka-Śāstra, and Vaiśeṣika, alongside practical disciplines such as agriculture, business foundations, traditional martial arts, and community sustainability. This integrated approach prepares children not only for intellectual excellence but also for self-reliance, leadership, and service to society.

At the heart of our vision are twenty-four village girls who symbolize the seed of a silent educational revolution. Coming from underprivileged backgrounds, they are being nurtured as future carriers of knowledge and dharmic values. As they grow, marry, and move into different villages, each will have the ability and confidence to establish a new Pāṭhaśālā—creating a living network of empowered women transforming rural education from within. Thus, learning becomes a self-propagating movement that flows naturally through homes, families, and communities.

Our dream is to build a deep Hindu educational ecosystem — a self-sustaining chain of Gurukulas that connect villages through shared values, traditions, and self-reliant education. In the coming years, we aim to develop a complete Gurukula curriculum, from Nursery to Class 12, that harmoniously combines ancient Bhāratīya texts, modern sciences, and experiential learning. Through this model, Bhuwaneshwari Foundation aspires to offer a replicable path toward an enlightened, sustainable, and culturally rooted future for rural Bharat.

India is a great repository of innumerable monuments and heritage sites. Many of these are totally unknown and do not have any patronage either from the Government or from private organizations. The locals especially the youth migrate out to cities and towns in search of other opportunities while the heritage site itself can be a gold mine.
Creating awareness of these sites to the world at large creates a fantastic opportunity for the local ecosystems to grow and develop. Even few footfalls to these places can bring in a substantial boost to the local business and create sustainable employment opportunities to the locals and others.
