THE MISSION

The human being is the chef d'oeuvre of creation. Yet the human race suffers

from the virus of attachment and aversion, greed and envy, lust and jealousy and

a host of other baneful emotions. The virus has destroyed the human intellect.

The problem that humanity faces today is the failure to distinguish the intellect

from intelligence. Educational institutions focus on providing sheer knowledge,

intelligence with no plan or program to develop the intellect. Any amount of

intelligence gained cannot per se build your intellect. The world today is all

intelligence, no intellect. This has led to grievous consequences. And the world is

inflicted with vandalism, militancy and terrorism. The need of the hour is to

recognise this grave situation to build the intellect.

The intellect is the faculty to think, to reason, to judge, to decide on the pros and

cons of life. You will have to develop your intellect all by yourself. No external

agencies can achieve that for you. You can build your intellect by using your

ability to think independently and to question everything you meet in life. Do not

accept anything which does not admit logic or reason. The constant exercise of

questioning all through your life would sharpen your intellect.

When your intellect becomes powerful you will be able to handle all your official,

social and domestic problems with ease. Vedanta, the ancient philosophy of

India, has the complete know-how to develop the intellect and restore the dignity

and prestige of the human race. Above all, it leads one to the ultimate goal of

Self-Realisation.

Vedanta Cultural Foundation is dedicated to the study, research and

dissemination of Vedanta through public lectures and classes, residential

courses and seminars.
