Why there is a need of Gayatri Chetna Center

It is necessary for everyone, be they vibrant young or stable mature, to collectively come together to work towards a "divine society", foster a mutual respect, co-operation and peaceful coexistence. To nurture and develop such a society, an institution like "The Gayatri Chetna Center" is needed.

Hence, it is essential to invest in this kind of divine place today to guarantee an awakened tomorrow.

Our Values

We have three core values that characterize the way of “Simple Living and High Thinking". This is our tenet and we live it through Upasana - which gives us strength through prayers, Sadhana - which makes individuals vigilant through swadhayay and develops inner strength, and Aradhana - which leads our Karma towards selfless service. These values drive us to achieve divinity and spiritual awakening, and guide us towards pure knowledge and the righteous path.

Upasana (Bhakti Yog): Meditating in a tranquil surrounding that leads to inspiration to stay and work towards the righteous path.

Sadhana (Gyan Yog): A spiritual practice of self-refinement. Exercising constant self-discipline, introspection, self-analysis. Observation and reflection upon every action, conduct, and thought.

Aradhana (Karma Yog): An effort to serve humanity through one’s own resources. Selfless service through regular donation of time, talent and resources for the welfare of the society.
