Rooted in Dharma, Rising for Humanity
Mission:
For over two decades, Shree Hindu Takht has stood as a guardian of Sanatan Dharma, driven by an unyielding commitment to preserve the spiritual, cultural, and social fabric of Hindu society. Our mission transcends mere activism; it is a sacred vow to protect the timeless wisdom of the Vedas, Upanishads, and Bhagavad Gita while addressing the pressing challenges faced by Hindus globally. Through education, service, and advocacy, we strive to ensure that future generations inherit a world where Dharma thrives, temples stand as symbols of resilience, and Hindu identity remains unshaken.
Vision:
Our vision is to build a society where every Hindu feels empowered, culturally rooted, and spiritually awakened. We envision a Bharat where ancient traditions coexist with modernity, where temples are not just places of worship but centers of community strength, and where the principles of Dharma—righteousness, justice, and compassion—guide every aspect of life. Globally, we aim to unite Hindus across borders, fostering a collective identity that celebrates diversity while standing firm against forces that seek to dilute or destroy our heritage.
Core Objectives:
At the heart of our work lie four pillars: Dharma Raksha (protection of Hindu rights and traditions), Sanskriti Samvardhan (revival of Vedic knowledge and arts), Samajik Ekta (social unity through grassroots initiatives), and Rashtriya Bhakti (national pride rooted in Hindu identity). These objectives are not abstract ideals but actionable goals achieved through community-driven programs, legal advocacy, and international collaborations.
Dharma Preservation – Guarding the Soul of Sanatan Dharma
The erosion of Hindu heritage—through temple demolitions, cultural appropriation, and forced conversions—has been a grave concern for centuries. Shree Hindu Takht addresses this through multifaceted efforts. Our Temple Restoration Initiative has reclaimed and revitalized 12 historically significant shrines, including the revered Mata Bagla Mukhi Temple in Himachal Pradesh and the ancient Kali Mata Temple in Kolkata. Each restoration involves meticulous research, collaboration with archaeologists, and community mobilization to ensure these sites regain their spiritual and cultural significance.
Equally critical is our Vedic Education Program, which operates 25 Gurukuls across India. Here, over 5,000 students annually immerse themselves in Sanskrit, Vedic rituals, and philosophy. These institutions are not mere schools; they are sanctuaries where young minds learn to harmonize ancient wisdom with contemporary challenges. Additionally, our Anti-Conversion Task Force provides legal aid to victims of religious coercion, rehabilitates families through counseling, and conducts nationwide awareness campaigns to counter predatory conversion tactics.
Community Empowerment – Lifting Lives, Building Futures
Poverty and marginalization have left millions of Hindus struggling for basic dignity. Through Annapurna Yojana, we distribute monthly ration kits—containing rice, lentils, and essential staples—to over 20,000 families in remote villages and urban slums. This initiative not only alleviates hunger but also instills hope, ensuring no Hindu is left behind in Bharat’s growth story.
Education is the cornerstone of empowerment. Shiksha Sankalp, our flagship program, offers free schooling, uniforms, and scholarships to 10,000+ underprivileged children. Partnering with local NGOs, we run after-school mentorship programs focusing on STEM, traditional arts, and Dharmic values. In Odisha’s tribal belts, for instance, this initiative has reduced school dropout rates by 60%, empowering children to break the cycle of poverty.
Healthcare remains a critical need in rural India. Our Healthcare Seva deploys mobile medical vans staffed with doctors and nurses to 50+ villages annually. From treating preventable diseases to organizing vaccination drives, these camps have saved countless lives. During the COVID-19 pandemic, this program expanded to distribute 1 million meals and PPE kits, earning recognition from state governments and spiritual leaders alike.
Global Hindu Unity – One Dharma, One World
Hindus abroad often grapple with preserving their identity in foreign lands. Through our International Chapters in 15+ nations—including the USA, Canada, UAE, and Australia—we host cultural festivals, legal workshops, and youth summits. In Toronto, our annual Dharma Mahotsav attracts 10,000+ attendees, celebrating Bharatiya dance, music, and philosophy while addressing diaspora-specific challenges like workplace discrimination.

The Youth Connect Program bridges generational gaps by organizing pilgrimages to Kashi and Ayodhya for second-generation Hindus. These journeys are transformative, rekindling pride in their roots. Meanwhile, our Disaster Relief Wing has been pivotal in crises—from rebuilding homes after the Kerala floods to providing trauma counseling post the Nepal earthquake. These efforts remind global Hindus that they are never alone in their struggles.
Adi Shankaracharya
In addition to being a philosopher, Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya was a sanatana shreshtha, or supreme revivalist, whose divine insight rekindled Bharat's spiritual fervor. His Advaita Vedanta mission was not just intellectual; it was a call to Atmabodh (selfrealization) and Dharma sthapana (establishing Dharma). He was born in the holy land of Kalady, Kerala. He founded the four mathas (monastic centers) and brought the nation's spiritual soul together under the banner of Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat while walking the entire length and breadth of Bharat. For seekers, his bhashyas (commentaries) on the Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, and Brahmasutras continue to be timeless resources. His legacy at Shree Hindutakht is our margdarshan (guiding light), which combines knowledge, faith, and austerity to maintain the enduring flame of Sanatan Dharma.
Chronological Outline of Adi Shankaracharya - 788 -820 CE
Birth: 788 CE Kaladi, Kerala becomes the birthplace of Adi, son of Columbus Shivaguru and Aryamba. The couple were deeply spiritually religious Nambudiri Brahmins who noted Shankaracharya’s budding intellect.
Early Childhood: 793 CE By age 8, Shankaracharya was well versed in the Vedas, Upanishads and the Sanskrit scriptures. For reasons unknown, he wanted to turn into a Sannyasi (renunciation) at a very early age.
796 CE: Initiation as a Sannyasi Govinda Bhagavatpada, being a disciple of Gaudapada, renounced Shankaracharya on the banks of the Narmada river. Following this he began to travel for dissemination of the deeply rooted philosophies of Advaita Vedanta (non-dualism).
Commercial Debate and Other Reforms: 798-810 Simultaneously working on revamping Sanatana Dharma, Shankaracharya defeated his proponents like Mandana Mishra (who turned out to be his disciple and was a powerful Mimamsa philosopher). He moved all over India to change the ideologies of differing philosophy schools such as Nyaya, Mimamsa, Buddhism, and Jainism. Shankaracharya was keen on the remodelling of Sanatana Dharma based on the authority of the Vedas.
Establishment of Mathas (Monastic Centers) Shankaracharya aimed on the spread of Advaita Vedanta by creating four chief mathas that propagated the ideology. These include:
- South: Sringeri Sharada Peetham
- West: Dwarka Sharada Peetham
- East: Govardhan Math
- North: Jyotir Math (Uttarakhand)
Each matha was governed by four disciples (Sureshwaracharya, Padmapadacharya, and Totakacharya) of Shankaracharya, with each assigned the guidance of one disciple.
SOCIAL ACTIVISTS- Dr. Pravin Togadia
A sevak of Bharat Mata, Dr. Praveen Togadia has walked the path of Dharma and science with unwavering nishtha (devotion). Being a well-known cancer surgeon by trade and a karmayogi by nature, he became a strong voice for Hindu society by founding the Antarrashtriya Hindu Parishad (AHP) and serving as its leader in the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP). A life devoted to seva, sangathan (organization), and swabhiman (self-respect) is reflected in his ceaseless efforts for Gaumata raksha, temple rejuvenation, and Hindu ekta (unity). Through yatra, grassroots initiatives, and public health outreach, Dr. Togadia has empowered innumerable sevak varga, elevating the janmanas of Sanatan Dharma by fusing adhyatmik strength with useful service.
Two Decades of Transformative Service
Founded in 2005 by Shri Parveen Kumar—a visionary social worker and RSS volunteer—Shree Hindu Takht began as a modest initiative to protect temples in Punjab. Over 24 years, it has blossomed into a global movement. The early years saw the establishment of our first Gurukul in Amritsar, where 50 students studied the Vedas under thatched roofs. Today, these institutions boast digital classrooms and partnerships with Ivy League scholars, blending tradition with innovation.
The 2010s marked a turning point. As communal tensions rose, we launched the Dharma Raksha Legal Cell, fighting 50+ landmark cases against temple encroachments and unjust policies. Our victory in reclaiming the Shri Krishna Temple in Mathura from illegal occupiers set a precedent for similar struggles nationwide. Simultaneously, the Annapurna Yojana expanded to 10 states, ensuring no Hindu family slept hungry even in conflict zones like Manipur.
The 2020s ushered in global recognition. During the pandemic, our volunteers risked their lives to distribute oxygen cylinders and meals, earning the SDM Sanjeev Sharma Award for humanitarian excellence. By 2025, our footprint spanned 15+ nations, with 150+ annual projects—from Vedic libraries in Dubai to women’s empowerment hubs in Fiji. This legacy is not ours alone; it belongs to every Dharmaveer who has walked this path.
The Shree Hindu Takht Difference
Transparency defines us. Every rupee donated is tracked through real-time dashboards, with annual audits published online. Unlike many NGOs, 80% of funds directly reach beneficiaries—whether a child’s scholarship or a temple’s restoration. Our volunteer network of 10,000+ Dharmaveers—college students, professionals, and retirees—ensures minimal administrative costs and maximum impact.
Our grassroots approach ensures no community is overlooked. In Assam’s tea gardens, we’ve empowered Adivasi Hindus with microloans to start small businesses. In urban centers, we run skill-development workshops for unemployed youth. This hyper-local focus, paired with global advocacy, makes us uniquely positioned to address both village-level needs and macro threats to Dharma.
Your Dharma Awaits
Every Hindu has a role to play. Volunteers can teach at Gurukuls, document temple histories, or mentor diaspora youth. Donors fuel critical projects—Rs. 500 feeds a family for a month, while Rs. 50,000 restores a temple mural. Advocates amplify our campaigns for temple autonomy and equal rights, leveraging social media and petitions. Together, we are not just preserving the past but scripting a future where Dharma illuminates every corner of the globe.
When Dharma Thrives, Humanity Thrives.
