“At Manavodaya we were never given a printed book to memorize. Instead we were taught how to live and work at grassroots level selflessly. Besides work, I also learnt the art of living here.”
Sandhya, 2017- 2018

After coming here, I understood
the concept of ALL LIFE IS YOGA, to observe how we do our work, how we manage it. The discipline and knowledge content acquired here makes me stand out in a crowd and develop a thinking that is beneficial to humanity.

The Integral Path
With increasing challenges of climate change, terrorist threats, growing inequality and resulting unrest in societies as well as continued abysmal poverty among a third of the
global population, it is imperative to examine and challenge our ways of functioning as an individual and society.
We can no longer remain unconcerned about these issues which not only cause insecurity, stress and uncertainty among most of us, but have become a threat to our very existence. On the positive side, there is adequate experience to indicate that meaningful alternatives exist. They rest in our hands : in our thinking, our ways of living and enabling others to do so similarly. As we have learnt at Manavodaya, this can be promoted through deep reflection and action in small and large groups to build collective understanding, wisdom and power to tackle the multiple forces of disharmony, injustice and destruction.
The methodology of doing so is now available through various short and long duration courses at Manavodaya. An international course
(https://www.manavodaya.org/in) on the subject is held every year in spring. A one year full time diploma course is available for students who would like to work on the subject as a career in life.
Some testimonials by our past students are presented here.
