Life at Kaivalya Yoga and Ayurveda Seva Trust (in short KYAST) is based on the philosophy of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ rooted in Sanathana Dharma – the foundation principle implying that ‘The whole world is one family’ and all are equal. This philosophy functions through its core values of ‘Sahajeevana’ i.e. community living and ‘Samabhava’ i.e. equanimity – a common feature in the earlier days before the influence of imperialism and modernization took hold of our land, watering down our traditional values. Traces of such large joint families based on this principle are still found in some parts of our country. The founders of KYAST aspire to bring back the system of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ – living together as a community wherein everyone works to uplift the value systems of equality, equanimity and spirituality making life on earth a ‘virtual heaven’.
