Our Mission

In the words of our beloved Gurudev, Paramamhasa Hariharananda Giri : “My whole life has been dedicated to serving people. As Hariharananda, I give medicines and services to the sick, food to the hungry, education to children, courage to the depressed and spiritual guidance to those who ask. Each human being is the living presence of God. Service to mankind is service to God. To dedicate one’s life for the benefit of others is real service. Please serve people with love and devotion. This is real service to God and Gurus.” The real objective of the Mission is to fulfill these words of our beloved Gurudev.

Prajnana  Mission was formally registered on 12-02-1999 under the Registration of Societies Act 1860 and the Jagatpur Ashram founded by our beloved Guruji became the headquarters of Prajnana Mission. Since then the Mission has been striving to fulfill the wishes of our beloved Gurudev. The Mission is engaged in four major activities for the welfare of mankind in general.

The Kriya Yoga Dhyana Kendra Kerala ( KYDKK) , under Prajnana Mission, was formally registered as a charitable Trust on 01-07-2019 with the registered office at Palakkad to cater to the Kriya Yoga propagation  and the charitable activities based in Kerala.

OUR SPIRITUAL FOUNDATION

An important activity of the Mission is the dissemination of the ancient yogic science of Kriya Yoga and the teachings of an illustrious lineage of Masters of Kriya Yoga. The age old tradition of Kriya Yoga has been practiced by seers, saints, and sages since time immemorial. People practiced Kriya Yoga in the Satya Yuga (Age of Truth) when there was no religion. It is therefore not surprising that Kriya Yoga meditation, directly or indirectly, finds a mention in all the major scriptures of the world.

The technique of Kriya Yoga meditation is open to all sincere seekers irrespective of their nationality, religion, gender or age. The practice of Kriya Yoga is aimed at the all-round development of individuals helping them to unlock their infinite potential hidden within.

EDUCATION

The Mission funds and manages Hariharananda Balashram, a free residential school affiliated to the CBSE for the destitute children of the state of Odisha. Every year the school takes in 40 such students at the entry level and around 500 students are in rolls from Nursery to class 10.

HEALTH CARE

The third major activity is running of the Hariharananda Charitable Health Centers which provide free general health and dental services in its OPD centers at Balighai, Puri district and Bhisindipur, West Medinipur district and subsidized general health and dental services at it Jagatpur OPD center in Cuttack District. Besides these OPDs, the Mission also carries out free mobile general health camps, specialized camps and dental camps in urban slums and rural areas and Village Health Projects in various areas that has little or no access to medical facilities.

RELIEF

The Mission provides relief to victims of natural calamities such as flood and fire accidents. In some cases it also rebuilds their homes thus helping them in their struggle to come back to their usual way of life.

Following the catastrophic flood and natural disaster of 2018 in Kerala, rice and construction materials were distributed in the Idukki district and we took part in the building of homes for tribals in the Wayanad district. After the severe cyclone Phani struck the Puri part of Orissa in April 2019, the Mission was actively involved in providing food and relief materials and built many homes for those whose houses were destroyed by cyclone.

Besides the above mentioned operations, the Mission also carries out other activities for the benefit of the poor and needy.
