The Vidyalaya and two institutions created by it, namely Rajyoga Education and Research Foundation, and Brahma Kumaris Academy for a Better World, are dedicated to the goal of establishing a value-based society. They focus on the development of human potential, bringing harmony into human relationships and changing the attitudes and outlook of people to promote the spirit of brotherhood, love, and co-operation. The institution is open to all irrespective of caste, creed, age and social, economic or political status.
In order to aches offer guidance in the inculcation of moral values and divine virtues that enable individuals to experience lasting peace and bliss.
The institution recognizes the intrinsic spirituality of every human being and helps people rediscover the goodness within them, thus encouraging and facilitating the development of spiritual awareness through a process of lifelong learning. The institution’s purpose is to share its vision of a world where people live in harmony with others and to strengthen individual awareness of the dignity and inherent worth of every human being.
The education imparted by the institution, though visibly spiritual in content, is a blend of ethics, practical psychology, metaphysics or philosophy, the gist of world history and culture, sociology, political science and several other subjects.
As an international institution, the Brahma Kumaris offers people of all backgrounds an opportunity to learn meditation and deepen their understanding of universal principles and values through a variety of educational programs and learning resources. As a worldwide family of individuals from all walks of life, the institution provides a caring, cooperative and supportive environment that encourages individuals to bring out the best in them.
The Brahma Kumaris is run mostly by women with a spirit of dedication and sacrifice for the welfare of society. The institution is funded through voluntary contributions by its students. Its services are offered free of charge.
