Our Plan for Societal Change
The Reasoning
We have 'understood' that the only long-term solution to humankinds myriad personal, familial, social, economic & ecological problems is a qualitative transformation in the level of consciousnesses in every human. Humankind needs to 'awaken' to every dimension of humanness & reality, this is called 'jagriti'.
Jagriti, awakening is possible via understanding. We believe Madhyasth Darshan enables such understanding and see our participation in social change as an integral aspect of our practice. 'Social Participation' is hence, not a source of our livelihood.
Changing the way people think, see, changing the world is a slow process.
We are thus here for the really long haul.
1. For General Public Awareness
(Lok Shiksha Yojana - Jeevan Vidya)
"To start the change - Change people"
Our open programs for the general public (ages 18-90) consist of introductory workshops followed by intensive study programs. There is no 'fee' for the 'teaching'. These consist of 7 Day Introductory, familiarization sessions, followed by intense, formal Study Programs that last from 6 months to 3 years. These are followed by ongoing discussion groups.
2. Humanization of Education
(Shiksha Sanskar Yojana - Education & Right Values)
"To change the Future - Change education"
Offering: Consciousness Development via Human Values (Chetna Vikas Mulya Shiksha or CVMS). This consists of a comprehensive overhaul of the current Education Paradigm based on this new discovery.

- University: Development of a new 'Chetna Vikas Vishwavidyalay' (Consciousness development University). A University for the very future.
3. Self Governing Family based Organization model for the World.
(Parivar Mulak Swarajya Vyavastha)
"To sustain change - have humane systems"
The Family is proposed as the basic unit of human organization, just as atoms are, of the material world. A set of resolved (samadhanit) individuals live in family units fulfilling the material, behavioral, intellectual and spiritual needs of the human, in line with social-law and natural-law.
- Five Dimensions of Society:
- Education & Sanskar | Health & Regulation | Production & Work | Exchange & Storage | Justice & Security
- Ten Staged World Organization: A representative from each Family will participate in the five dimensions above, across the following 10 Stages:
- Family > Group of Families > Village > Group of Villages > Block > County > Districts > States > Nation States > World
