self‑realisation rises,
the light of knowledge
spreads far and wide,
When the flower of
the Self blossoms,
the seekers arrive from
far and near.”
Shrimad Rajchandra Mission Dharampur is a global movement that endeavours to enhance the spiritual growth of seekers and benefit the society. Their mission statement is “Realise one’s True Self and serve others selflessly.”
Since the inception of the Ashram, the activities of the organisation have gained tremendous momentum in the realm of both sadhana and seva. The seekers delved deeper in the Self on one hand and on the other hand the expanse of seva grew with the aim of encompassing the whole universe.
Shrimad Rajchandraji is highly respected for His remarkable exposition of Bhagwan Mahavira’s teachings, great spiritual state and literary genius. He is also known for the deep impact He laid on Mahatma Gandhi for spiritual matters.
