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

Peace is born of Justice

There is a widespread perception that we live in increasingly dangerous and violent times. Yet, recorded information tells us that at no other point in time of recorded world history have there been as few wars as, say, in the last 50 years, nor fatalities due to war, and the lowest number of concurrent conflicts across the world

 

Why this perception, about a lack of peace in the world.

A lot of the feeling of being at peace, is linked to whether justice that we see being meted out, is true justice.

 

It seems that there is a fear that true justice is, at best, something experienced only by very few. And certainly a strong part of this is that while justice may be delivered as per the prevailing law and regulations, it is often not true justice. Some people get jailed for that which seems trivial, and some people escape justice on purely technical grounds rather than on whether a crime was committed.

 

True justice, itself has many interpretations, ranging from morally defensible, contextual, fair, quick, or a combination of one or more of these. If the sentence is perceived to have a lot of subjectivity, interpretation, ambiguity, or biased, as often seems the case, then justice is not deemed to have been carried out.

 

Her Holiness Sri Sathguru Ma said that one can escape human justice, but one cannot escape divine justice. What matters therefore, in these days, is that justice is, and is seen to be, fair, firm, swift, and thought through in an unbiased way.

 

In this conference, the 10th in the series and the second one with the theme that Peace is born of Justice, the myriad ways in which justice is viewed, experienced, and meted out will be discussed, together with ways in which such a framework of justice can be firmly established, and thereby societal and individual peace gets substantially enhanced.


Tentative Schedule : 11- 13th April, 2025

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.
