ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW

The Trust’s Mission and Activities

The Trust, governed by a board of three trustees and supported by a growing community of members, is a nonprofit organization committed to the holistic upliftment of individuals and communities through its core focus areas: health and wellness, education, environment, cultural preservation, and social outreach.

Rooted in Bhāratīya values and guided by the principles of seva (selfless service), śikṣā (education), saṁskṛti (culture), and saukhya (wellbeing), the Trust has steadily expanded its reach and impact, particularly in underserved and rural populations.

Managing Trustee

Taruna Kalan, now known as Swamini Vishwamohini, has renounced her formal life to fully dedicate herself to the teachings and promotion of Sanatana Dharma. Deeply committed to spreading Yoga, meditation, and the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, she provides education and guidance rooted in India’s ancient spiritual traditions. Swamini’s profound dedication, unwavering enthusiasm, and heartfelt compassion serve as an ongoing inspiration, strengthening the Trust’s mission to uplift and empower individuals through spiritual and cultural enrichment.

Trustee

Rahul Pandey, a prominent and successful businessman from Vrindavan, was deeply moved by Swamini Vishwamohini’s compassionate work of serving the community and feeding sadhus. Inspired to embrace this spirit of selfless giving, he actively leads and coordinates seva activities including organizing regular Bhandaras (community meals) for sadhus and residents. His dedication ensures the Trust consistently operates at its highest potential, effectively contributing to the spiritual, cultural, and social flourishing of Vrindavan.

Since retiring, Mr. Nilangeker has devoted himself fully to charitable endeavors, passionately promoting Yoga, cultural education, and youth engagement initiatives rooted in India’s vibrant heritage. His efforts actively foster community unity, inspiring pride, education, and cultural appreciation among younger generations.

THE MODEL: SKILL UP, SPEED UP AND SCALE UP

The Trust follows a dynamic and compassionate development model—Skill Up, Speed Up, and Scale Up—to empower individuals holistically, especially those from underprivileged and underserved communities. This model reflects our commitment to seva (selfless service), sāmarthya (capacity-building), and sāmājika kalyāṇa (social upliftment), in alignment with Bhakti Marga values.

1. Skill Up – Empower Through Learning

We believe that skills are the foundation of empowerment. The Trust organizes regular classes and workshops in:

Yoga and wellness practices to promote holistic personal development
These programs are particularly focused on helping the poor and marginalized acquire skills that enhance self-reliance, dignity, and livelihood potential.
Traditional arts such as music, dance, handicrafts, and painting

2. Speed Up – Accelerate Access to Education

To address educational disparity, the Trust conducts Educational Awareness Programs aimed at:

Reaching underserved rural and semi-urban populations
Promoting literacy, digital access, and value-based education
Encouraging community participation in educational initiatives

This approach is designed to fast-track learning and opportunity, ensuring that no child or youth is left behind

3. Scale Up – Expand Compassionate Impact

The Trust is dedicated to scaling up its reach through compassion-driven outreach, which includes:

Looking after and protecting cows (Go-Sevā), as a sacred duty tied to ecological and spiritual values
Providing care and nourishment to undernourished sādhus, recognizing their vital role in preserving spiritual traditions
Supporting the economically weak, especially through skill training, educational material distribution, and basic sustenance
