ABOUT US

India is a nation of sages and saints. A nation, they say, created by God Himself. A nation spread across a vast expanse from Himalayas to the north and the Indian Ocean to the south. It’s our nation, India. We have a long historical legacy, rich with four Vedas (ancient Indian holy literature inspired by sages), six Shastras (holy sciences), eighteen Puranas (literature explaining Brahma in simplified way), fourteen Vidyas (lore) and sixty four Kalas (several inner art fields).

With the blessings of respected Shri Mali Maharaj, Revered Shri Prabhakar Keshav Sardeshmukh Maharaj established Bharatiya Sanskriti Darshan Trust in the year 1954 with a meticulous motto of rejuvenating the ancient Indian sciences and traditions with a rational and scientific approach. He donated 63 acres of land to the Trust for the study, practice and propagation of ancient Indian wisdom. The trust is located at Wagholi, about 20 kms towards the east from Pune City, Maharashtra and is recognized as “Vishwashantidham”.

During the journey of more than six decades, the trust has seen several momentous achievements, especially in the field of Ayurved, and yet, there is a lot to be achieved. We are in the developmental path with the support of our associates, patrons and well-wishers.

He was a liberal person who also appreciated the technology and its advances and always encouraged the righteous blend of the best of ancient Indian knowdge and today’s technology in the interest of the mankind.

His students consisted from all the strata of the society and different nationalities as well. What he was eager to see in any student was the urge to learn and the acceptance to take the efforts needed to excel in any learning. Stalwarts and maestros from various fields visited him to take his advice and learn from him. He had a unique teaching style which was apt for the individual who was to learn from him. He constantly emphasized in the core values, principles and ethics in life and himself set an example to all by his simplicity and low profile which encrusted a vast treasure of knowledge and wisdom.
