Bringing you a Dharmic framework for life

While our world is changing rapidly, human needs and psychology are fundamentally the same today as thousands of years ago. In them, lie the roots of our problems and the seeds of their solutions. Dharma has a profound understanding of these, iterated and passed down over millennia. However, these solutions are often inaccessible to modern society because of barriers of language, civilizational context, misinterpretation, packaging and its sheer profoundness and immensity. 

 

We’re a US-based non-profit organization on a mission to decode, simplify and contextualize Dharma for your life. We hope these Dharmic solutions ease your daily personal, professional and societal life and help you find purpose.

Dharma is that which sustains

The word “dharma” comes from the Sanskrit verb “dhri,” which means to sustain. Whatever sustains anything – an object, a lifeform, a society is its Dharma. It’s not a matter of belief. Rather it is a law of nature. A life that follows Dharma, by definition, sustains and thrives.

What is a Dharmic civilization?

A sustainable civilization is a Dharmic civilization – it is one that sustains the planet, all societies and all life – animate and inanimate.
