ஸ்வாமிஜியின் லக்ஷியம்: அனைவருக்கும் என்றும் அமைதியான ஆனந்தம். Swamiji’s Lakshyam or Goal is “Peaceful Happiness for All, at All Times”. He drives this home, by spreading the message of our Sasthras, which he has been doing for the past 30 years. His uniqueness lies, in his being a single source of all spiritual knowledge, and at the same time his flexibility, in blending and adapting it to modern times and technology.
Pujyasri Swamiji’s emphasis is on Dharmanushthanam, Shastra Pracharam and Dharma Rakshanam.
The core purpose of his establishing the Ashram, was to make it grow into an Uttama Vidyasthanam, with an ever increasing Sannidhyam.
