Social Harmony

Caste narrow-mindedness has never had any place in the Brahmin community. We have always stood for broad generosity. Brahmins have proclaimed harmony through auspicious mantras such as ‘Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah’ (may all be happy). Endowed with special wisdom and devoted to justice, the Vipra community has pursued constant spiritual practice and worship with the welfare of the whole universe in mind, and will continue to do so. Vipra Foundation wishes the whole of Indian society to become radiant and vigorous, wise and learned in science. Some of Vipra Foundation's main programmes for social harmony:

Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah

Vipra Foundation seeks the good of all through heartfelt gestures such as organising religious and moral discourses, sending blessings, good wishes and congratulations to people of all communities on their auspicious collective occasions, and sending messages of condolence at times of sorrow such as a death.

Tribute to heroes

Paying heartfelt, public tribute to the outstanding heroes of the nation and society, taking part in the birth anniversaries of the great figures of each region, and holding collective programmes on the birth anniversaries of national heroes to express reverence are an important part of Vipra Foundation's programmes.

Cultural inclusion

Building an atmosphere of cultural harmony across the whole of India, this Vipra Foundation programme includes events on national, cultural and social festivals, fairs and seminars for the exchange of ideas, sanskar (values) camps and more.

Commitment to justice

A love of justice is the highest quality of a Brahmin. To extend a helping hand, as far as one can, to anyone who suffers is the true duty of a human being. Wherever injustice is done to any caste or class, Vipra Foundation is firmly resolved to show its commitment to justice and stand against it.

Encouraging talent and skill

The aim of Encouraging Talent and Skill is for the Vipra community, in fulfilment of its sense of duty, to encourage, reward and felicitate excellence in fields such as education, literature, sport, acting, music, dance and painting, and to hold programmes for this purpose.

Social concerns

Standing for change suited to the times while keeping our traditions, Vipra Foundation is committed to raising awareness in society so that outdated customs and practices change, to serving and caring for the elderly in keeping with our culture, and to helping the afflicted as far as possible.

Harmony honours

The aim of this programme is to honour, from time to time at Vipra Foundation's special events, exemplary people who work for social harmony, who have given strength to society and whose lives are dedicated to human welfare, and so to express gratitude to them.
