Introduction

Following the successful establishment and one-year operation of the International School for Bhagavad Gita at Shankarpally, Hyderabad—scheduled for commissioning by December 2026—we now present a visionary global expansion that will first reach Pan-India and then extend into key international destinations. This new phase introduces two high-impact experiential programs designed to democratise spiritual clarity, emotional resilience, and an Advaita-based understanding worldwide.

Program 2: Karma Yoga for International Tourists
This program offers a 3-hour transformative spiritual immersion (extended to 3 days at our Hyderabad campus) at no cost. It unveils the purpose of life, the nature of consciousness, and the science of inner balance through the Advaita perspective of the Bhagavad Gita. Sessions will be held twice daily at every Gita Bhavan—1,000 participants before lunch and 1,000 after lunch—ensuring deep, accessible learning for global visitors.

Program 6: One-Day Karma Yoga Retreat for Urban White-Collar Workers

Modern professionals carry silent emotional burdens—stress, burnout, loneliness, pressure, and disconnection. This paid retreat becomes a practical and therapeutic space for emotional detox, mental clarity, and spiritual recalibration. It equips participants to regain inner balance amidst relentless responsibilities at work and home, allowing them to leave with renewed calmness, sharper insight, and deeper self-understanding.

Gita Bhavan: The Infrastructure of Impact

A Gita Bhavan is not a temple or a lecture hall; it is a transformative spiritual campus where wisdom is not preached but experienced. These centres serve as sanctuaries for global citizens, integrating silence, science, and Advaita inquiry to accelerate inner evolution.
Each Gita Bhavan will be built on 5 acres, featuring:

• A 1,000-capacity auditorium
• Accommodation for staff and teachers: 10 One-BHK units, 10 Two-BHK units, 5 Three-BHK units, 10 Standard Rooms, 10 Executive Rooms
• A sattvic canteen, hygienic restrooms for large gatherings
• Parking for 250 vehicles

The construction cost (excluding land) is estimated at ₹25 crores per centre.

Strategic Rollout Plan (2029–2035)

Phase 1: India (2029–2030)

Eight Gita Bhavans will be established in India’s most popular spiritual and tourist destinations, such as Varanasi, Rameswaram, Ujjain, Tirupati, Haridwar, and three other high-footfall cities. Partnerships will be cultivated with: the Ministry of Tourism (State & Central), the Ministry of Higher Education, the PM CARES Fund, the CSR wings of leading corporations, and Temple Boards and Trusts.

Phase 2: Global Expansion (2031–2035)

During this phase, 100 Gita Bhavans will be launched across the world’s most visited cities and spiritual hubs—such as Bali, Kyoto, Jerusalem, San Francisco, London, Singapore, Dubai, Sydney, Toronto, New York, and other major cultural destinations. Each centre will serve 2,000 participants every day, offered through two structured 3-hour sessions of 1,000 participants each.

When all 108 centres (8 in India + 100 worldwide) become operational, the combined annual outreach reaches an extraordinary scale:108 centres × 2,000 people/day × 300 days/year = 6.48 crore people per year.
This translates to 64.8 million lives annually impacted by direct exposure to Advaita wisdom.

To strengthen the global foundation of this initiative, 100 Fortune 500 companies will be invited to sponsor one Gita Bhavan each as part of their long-term CSR commitment to international peace, emotional well-being, and intercultural harmony.

The Vision: Touching 50% of Humanity by 2050 and 75% by 2100

The power of Gita Bhavans does not lie merely in footfall but in the exponential ripple effect of transformed individuals who carry forward the wisdom into their families, workplaces, and social ecosystems.

Each year, nearly 6.6 crore people (66 million individuals) absorb, internalise, and naturally share these teachings. Even if each attendee influences only a small circle of relatives, colleagues, and friends, the multiplier effect becomes astonishing.

With steady expansion and consistent operation:

• By 2050, at least 50% of humanity can be touched by the principles of Karma Yoga and Sankhya Yoga in the Advaita Perspective.
• By 2100, the influence of Gita Bhavans can reach 75% of the world’s population, becoming a defining force in shaping a peaceful, rational, and unified global civilisation.

Even if this projection faces a delay of 10–20 years, it remains entirely acceptable, especially when we consider that humanity has spent thousands of years cultivating ignorance—ignorance that must now be dissolved with clarity, compassion, and wisdom.

The Inner Revolution: What Participants Take Home

Gita Bhavan programs are not passive lectures; they are immersive experiences that restructure one’s worldview, emotional architecture, and inner identity.

Participants leave with:

• Clear, logical answers to life’s most profound questions
• A direct experience of divinity, not a conceptual belief
• Consistent equanimity amid success and failure
• Reduced emotional reactivity and greater maturity
• A healthier, more compassionate relationship with self and others
• Firm grounding in self-responsibility instead of victimhood
• A natural inclination toward service and global citizenship
• Renewed reverence for nature and cosmic intelligence
• A shift from “God outside” to “God experienced within”

They emerge as individuals who think with clarity, feel with balance, and act with purpose.

Why do all these questions lead people to Gita Bhavans

Because Gita Bhavans do not silence questions — they illuminate them.

They offer:

• clear logic,
• experiential understanding,
• non-dual answers,
• universal spirituality,
• No fear, no dogma, no blind belief.

They help people see God not as a separate being, but as the Consciousness within.

That is why people come. They enter as petty human beings, carrying all the attributes that create the illusion of division and separateness, as described in Gita 18.21. Some even walk in as atheists, as described in Gita 18.22. Yet they walk out as divine beings — none other than the one, indivisible Universal Consciousness, as declared in Gita 18.20.
