Our Vision

The aim is to make the world an everlasting garden of peace by the 25th century. PeaceThe way to attain this is to ensure that each and every individual lives with love and unity with themselves and whomsoever they come in contact with.
In our journey towards this aim, it is important that we understand the goal of human life which is to attain everlasting peace and good health. The only way to achieve this twin objective is to ensure that we develop subtle and critical intellect. Our Ashram is fully engaged in the service of helping people achieve this keen-edged thinking through the practice of meditation.
Paranjothi Mahan simplified the meditation technique which can be practized by people from all walks of life.
It is proved beyond doubt and from time immemorial that if each one of us in this world practice meditation, he or she will be the messiah of love and unity within the family and outside. Love and unity will flourish and people will live without the slightest difference in caste, religion, rich or poor.

"ஆன்மிகமே உலகை சமாதானமாக்கும்"
"Spiritualism indeed renders Universal Peace"

Flag

The ashram flag has a green background with a white circle in the centre. The white colour represents the Sun and green represents plants and the food obtained from them. The radiant energy from the Sun is responsible for rain and the greenery which in turn sustains all life forms including the harmless cow and the poisonous snake.
Similarly, administrators in rule should be righteous with a pure heart, unbiased like the Sun and ensure even distribution of all essentials to the people.
It was His Holiness Paranjothi Mahan who designed the flag. The flag was first hoisted by Gnanaoli Mahan in the Holy presence of his Master. This noteworthy event took place at Erode ashram on Nov 11, 1979 during the 'Dawn of Wisdom day' celebrations.
