Our Genesis
- We strive to harness interdisciplinary approaches to rediscover, formulate and create pathways to transform lives.
- We believe that awareness, realisation, action and transformation starts with the individual and grows into the society. ‘Individual first, society follows’ - the principle at work.
- The Foundation is acclaimed for research and exploration into secular philosophy and comparative studies in the teachings of Bhagavan Sri Krishna and Her Holiness Sri Sathguru Swami Gnanananda Sarasvathi. It also hosts the prestigious Annual Conference on Peace and Reconciliation, which brings together intelligentsia from across the globe to explore the dynamics of peace from multi-disciplinary dimensions.
- Swami Shrihariprasad founded the Sri Vishnu Mohan Foundation, Chennai in 2008 as a non-profit research foundation.

Upcoming Event - Annual Peace and Reconciliation Conference
Justice for Peace
The overall theme is Justice for Peace.
Peace emanates from behaviour. That which adheres to the principles of dharma, empathy and the overarching feeling of oneness. Violence which may sound like the opposite of peace is also a form of behaviour. A bhavam and in some cases the chosen way of living for some. Where does this violence begin? Possibly in the word, in the tatvam and in the pressures of living and that pervasive and fetishist feeling of me and mine. The lenses of oneness have given way to the piercing glares of difference and domination. In such a world how can knowledge help us? What are those strands that will help us reconcile, become aware and start rebuilding our penchant for peace and justice? How do we revive that kindred spirit starting with the transformation of the individual?
This is the larger import of the Conference.
Tentative Schedule : December 2023. Call for Papers is now announced.
From our Album
Everyday in our lives, there are times when we get tired of the monotony of our lives, so we take breaks. We take tea breaks, we take long holiday breaks and many other useful breaks. So, when we are doing this, it will take us only a few minutes, if we also take a God break in between activities.
