The journey has begun from total darkness to light as AIM for Seva's Student Homes open their doors to provide a bright future for them.


This world itself is one being for the eyes of people who live in the Vedic culture. The living world is called Iswara or Bhagavan. Planets revolve, seasons come around, it rains and flowers bloom from one seed.... Everything is in one living order called Dharma. In short, the world is non-separate form Isvara. So, working, studying, getting married, singing and dancing are all religious in the Vedic culture. All human pursuits, even the pursuit of wealth and success are nothing but seeking Isvara Himself.

Without a chance to appreciate Isvara through Dharma, any studying and working in society cannot make sense. Even so, children have to be asked, "How is your grade in your school?", "What job would you choose?" It is too terrible and minds collapse. Studying becomes studying for exam. Life becomes the life only for waiting for Sunday, showing heavy sighs in Monday morning sometime with anger, or lament for wrinkles on face. The more I come to know the world, the more I become small and insignificant. Is my life only for obtaining good comments from others? ---If one can see through what is going on, seeking the truth, he or she has to approach the teacher who teaches Vedanta. Living and appreciating vedic vision in life, being mature emotionally, one may take the committed life style called YOGA.

It is said that knowledge for Moksa taught in Vedanta, in the last chapter of Veda, takes place only in the cheerful mind of YOGI, the one who lives YOGA. Knowing that self is free from all limitation, he or she gains the total self-acceptance, Moksa.

We want to work for handing down this teaching tradition to next generation, so that we can grow out. We will see in 7 days that the understanding about the self is too important for this planet itself.
