Why it was founded

Keeping the stream of knowledge flowing without a break

After Bhaiyaji left the physical body, Maa Basanti and Madhu Maa founded this mission for the publishing and free distribution of spiritual literature. Its main purpose is to publish and spread Bhaiyaji's priceless knowledge, reflections, papers such as his personal diary, and spiritual guidance, so that present and future generations may be rightly guided — and to consider how this knowledge might spread in India and abroad, so that a new age can begin.

The mission has published works connected to Bhaiyaji's divine wisdom, his life, his handwritten diary, the personality of Maa Basanti, and the spiritual stream of Manidweep. The aim of these books is to awaken in the reader faith, discernment, self-reflection and a spiritual sense of life's direction.

The service of bringing free literature to readers

Through this trust there is also provision to publish socially useful religious books by great figures, written by others. The mission's aim is that the stream of the Gyan Ganga keeps flowing, without a break, into countless people — and so these books are available to readers free of charge.

A reception room and basic facilities built at an educational institution
Building facilities in educational institutions is tied to students' self-respect and to keeping them in education.
From knowledge to the learning environment

Trying to clear the quiet obstacles in education

The Gyan Ganga Mission has not been limited to the spread of knowledge. Bhaiyaji held that giving a scholarship alone does not complete the service of education. If a school lacks enough classrooms, seating, water, sanitation or a safe environment, students — girls especially — face many quiet obstacles in learning. Inspired by the mission, construction and support work was therefore carried out in educational institutions, so that students could learn in an environment of dignity, comfort and confidence.

Selected contributions
