Aarsha Vidya Samajam Foundation Day – July 8

Today (July 8):
Aarsha Vidya Samajam proudly completes 27 years of its inspiring journey!

Recognizing the challenges and possibilities of the modern age, and inorder to carry out these five great duties – (Pancha Maha Karthavyas)in a scientific and systematic manner, Aarsha Vidya Samajam (AVS) was established on 8 July 1999 by Sadgurudev Acharyasri Manoj Ji Maharaj. It is a spiritual, philosophical, educational, cultural, and renaissance movement dedicated to fulfilling this great mission entrusted by Sri Parameshwara and the Aarsha Guru Paramparas – “Krinvantho Vishwamaryam” (make humanity and the world noble).

AVS aims to fulfill this mission in two ways: Bhavatmakam and Samrakshanatmakam.

Bhavatmakam:- Promotion of the true Sanatana Dharma and the benefits of that divine science throughout the world — such as complete health, holistic personality development, human evolution, total success in life, the creation of an ideal society, and the complete removal of all sufferings and sorrows.

Samrakshanatmakam:- Liberation of the people from six types of demonic brainwashing forces that our society faces today.

To achieve these goals, he has designed a unique organizational framework called the Ten-Level Action Plan (Dashathala Pravarthana Paddhathi)..

To simplify – the activities of Aarsha Vidya Samajam function on three levels.

1) Intervention, Recovery & Rehabilitation

This is an Emergency intervention and rescue initiative aimed at bringing back those who, from a young age, have been influenced in many ways by six kinds of brainwashing forces, causing them to act against themselves, their families, society, the nation, and the world. Aarsha Vidya Samajam carries out this work through the Sudarshanam De-radicalization Councelling Programme.

De-radicalization counseling programmes with the strength of clear ideas and right understanding — capable of guiding anyone to the right path, provided they possess three qualities: common sense, willingness for discussion, and the intellectual honesty to accept the truth when realized. Aarsha Vidya Samajam proudly upholds a history of transforming not only those who were radicalized, but even those who had become missionary advocates of destructive forces, into dedicated Pracharaks of Sanatana Dharma.

Aacharya Sree Manoj Ji is a noble soul who has guided tens of thousands away from misleading and anti-national ideologies, including forced and deceptive religious conversion, and led them towards the right path.

Through his guidance, more than 8,500 young men and women who had been influenced by ignorance, misinformation, and brainwashing into anti-national thinking have already returned back to Sanatana Dharma. Among them, around one thousand individuals gained the strength to resist radicalization. Nearly one hundred people came forward courageously to share their experiences publicly. More than twenty became active Pracharaks and Pracharikas of Sanatana Dharma, and four individuals even authored books narrating their journeys and realizations.

2) Awareness and Prevention (PREVENTION)

This field of activity focuses on preventing people from falling into harmful ideologies. By drawing attention to philosophy, history, and present-day realities, this mission works to remove ignorance “Pramadam” which has affected the society. Through systematic awareness programmes and proper guidance to lakhs of people we have been able to stop the radicalization. We are providing training to various organizations in deradicalization counseling.

3) Root-Level Solution (Permanent Programme)

For the permanent resolution of problems through identifying and addressing their root causes — and also to achieve the aim “Loka Samastha Sukhino Bhavanthu” AVS has designed four unique streams of activity.

(a) Comprehensive Scientific Anushtana Research and Educational Programmes Courses, classes, camps, and training programmes in Shiva Shakti Yoga Vidya, Adhyathmika Shasthram, Bharatiya Samskrithi, Student Excellence Programme (SEP), Sudarshanam, Mrityunjayam, Organizational Science, Vyayamaki Vijnan, and more.

(b) Dharma Pracharak Paddhathi (Organizational Mission) Identifying, training, and appointing dedicated Pracharaks of Sanatana Dharma across different regions and fields of activity

(c) Sthapana Padhdhathi Establishment and development of Sadhana Shakti Kendras, Vijnana Bharati International Institute for Study and Research, Vijnana Bharati Vidya Kendras, and Vijnana Bharati Learning Centres.

(d) Extensive and Integrated Activities for Service, Empowerment, and Protection

With the noble vision of Promoting the message of Sanatana Dharma throughout ,the world, Aarsha Vidya Samajam has established centres in the districts of Thiruvananthapuram, Ernakulam, and Thrissur in Kerala, as well as in Chennai, Bengaluru, Maharashtra, and Delhi. During 2026, the organization aims to expand its activities to various other states across India and also to international destinations.

However, a look back at the journey so far reveals that the path of Aarsha Vidya Samajam has not been an easy or effortless one.

On one side were financial constraints that even hindered our growth. On the other were the threats and challenges posed by religious conversion mafias and vote-bank politics. Numerous false cases were filed. Defamatory campaigns were carried out relentlessly.

Yet, we were able to face all these challenges through the grace of the Sarveswara, the blessings of the Aarsha Guru Parampara, the grace of Sanatana Dharma, and the strong presence and guidance of Aacharya Sri, the revered Guru of Aarsha Vidya Samajam.

Our inspiration has always been our Sadguru, who remains steadfast and composed, unshaken by praise or criticism, honour or humiliation, joy or sorrow, victory or defeat, gain or loss.

With a firm resolve to continue on this noble path until our very last breath, Team AVS moves forward together undaunted and unwavering dedicated to serving the nation through healthcare, education, holistic empowerment, and efforts for protection.

We express our heartfelt love and sincere gratitude to all the well-wishers who have supported Aarsha Vidya Samajam (AVS) throughout its journey so far, standing with us and helping us through every challenge.

In the name of Jagadeeshwara, we humbly seek your continued support and blessings as we move forward in this noble mission.

With Love,
Aarsha Vidya Samajam
