Institute for research on scientific spirituality
Yug Rishi Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya , who founded All World Gayatri Pariwar with its headquarter at Shantikunj was of the definite view that in this Era of materialism , spiritual principles can be accepted by the masses, when they are scientifically established by facts, examples and interpretation. Therefore, he laid emphasis for the establishment of a Research Institute of scientific spirituality . Brahmvarchas Shodh Sansthan (Research Institute) came into existence.
M odern man could not be persuaded to accept the values of
life propagated by ancient
Rishis until and unless these were proved to be scientifically viable for the welfare of the individual and the society.
This
was indeed a Herculean task, given the trends of intellectual and
scientific evolution over past millennium and almost simultaneous
deterioration of religion and culture, which had resulted in a near
total neglect of spirituality in the human life and the emergence of
blind faiths, misconceptions, and prejudices.
The Brahmvarchas Research Institute, the research centre of
Shantikunj , Haridwar founded by Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya ji in 1979
near Shantikunj stands as a living example of how these ideas could be
implemented and researched in the modern laboratories.
This
center is dedicated to the integration of the modern and ancient
sciences in a practical way motivated by the noble goal of health and
happiness for all. Innovative scientific research aimed at grass root
applications is being carried out here in the ancient sciences in an
enliven collaboration with the relevant modern sciences.
