GIVING THROUGH THE GITA

The NGO GIVE was founded by His Grace Shri Vrindavanchandra Das in the year 2007. It is a group of like-minded people, dedicated to spreading the eternal, age-old Vedic wisdom of India, summarised in the Bhagavad Gita, throughout the world. Vedic knowledge is original, authentic, timeless, and non-sectarian. It will bring peace, happiness, and holistic success in every individual’s life believes Manisha Moorjani, who found answers to her plethora of questions about life and spirituality after listening to Shri Vrindavanchandra Das in the year 2012.

At present, throughout the world, human society finds itself faced with daunting problems of hunger, disease, moral decay, and conflict. Disagreements, both individual and collective, quickly become violent confrontations. Society, and specifically the youth, is finding itself increasingly disturbed and misguided. Almost everyone is suffering from mental conditions like tension and depression, leading many to the verge of committing suicide. These are not signs of a healthy society.

The Vedas give the cause as well as the solution for this condition of society. They proclaim that all suffering and ills in an individual’s life are due to ignorance, and the right knowledge is the answer to all maladies. One can claim that human civilization has advanced exponentially in terms of knowledge in the past few centuries. But then, why have our woes too increased by leaps and bounds? The Vedas state that a person with complete knowledge will have a complete personality which, in turn, will provide them with complete solutions. The Vedas also state that knowledge is made up of two aspects: the material and the spiritual. In the past few centuries, though material knowledge has advanced manyfold, the spiritual part of knowledge has been entirely ignored. This incompleteness has led to unbalanced or incomplete development of humans.

A dire need for spiritual education

In today’s society, there are innumerable schools, colleges, institutions, and universities imparting material education, but very few institutions are providing real spiritual knowledge. Due to this, society is full of people with incomplete personalities, leading to the present disastrous state of affairs.
