Come, let us preserve the priceless heritage of the sages
Anand-Math Foundation nurtures India's timeless spiritual wisdom through Gurukul education, Vedantic learning and meditation — building character, compassion and inner strength for a more peaceful and enriched world.
A quiet home for the wisdom of the Rishis
Anand-Math Foundation is a registered public charitable trust in Lucknow, dedicated to preserving and sharing India's timeless Brahmavidya. Away from the noise of publicity and competition, we cultivate a space where sincere seekers can study the scriptures, deepen their meditation, and live the values of a contemplative life.
Vidya — Knowledge
The systematic study of Vedanta and the scriptures — the Gita, the Upanishads, the Prasthanatrayi — taught with clarity, patience and authenticity.
Sadhana — Practice
Meditation retreats and daily contemplative discipline that turn study into lived realisation — steady, unhurried, and rooted in tradition.
Seva — Service
Sharing this wisdom freely — through open teachings, youth sanskar camps, and an ashram built for the community of practitioners to come.
Pujya Acharya Shri Swami Rambhadra Sharan Ji
A centre for practitioners should be a place for self-realisation — not for becoming preachers. — Pujya Acharya Shri
Born in 1980 in a Brahmin family in Umaria district, Madhya Pradesh, Swami Ji studied Sanskrit literature and formally trained in Advaita Vedanta under Swami Subodhanand Saraswati Ji at Chinmaya Mission's Sandeepani Gurukul. After serving as an Acharya across Chinmaya Mission centres for over a decade and teaching the Prasthanatrayi at Sandeepani Himalaya, he now guides Anand Math Foundation as its President, dedicating his days to contemplation and the teaching of Vedanta.
