Our vision
People and communities, without distinction
Santvana seeks to work with individuals, institutions, organizations and communities to promote human well-being and social development. Its vision embraces people without distinction of caste, creed or religion, and is rooted in respect for human dignity, mutual understanding and harmonious relationships.
Over the years, this founding vision has provided the framework for Santvana's initiatives in education, community development, support for women and children, assistance to vulnerable communities, ecological awareness and other forms of social service.
At the heart of it all
A better world begins with a culture of love.
For Santvana, love is more than an emotion or a feeling. It is a way of seeing, relating and living. It invites us to become more aware of ourselves, more attentive to others, more responsible towards society and more respectful of the natural world.
Santvana describes this way of life as the Path of Love — Prem-Marg.
Our philosophy
Prem-Marg — the Path of Love
A journey from spiritual awareness to personal transformation, from relationships to social responsibility, and from social responsibility to ecological responsibility — one path, walked in four dimensions.
