Programmes
The network of Viswadarsana Vrindam is being formed worldwide to propagate an alternative lifestyle that will ultimately help to develop an ecoculture strong enough to impact the mainstream. The programmes at Viswadarsanam Centre provide an introduction to living a simple lifestyle, and are capable of totally changing one’s attitude to life, leading to a contented existence and sense of fulfillment, peace with oneself and with the world. Participants come from both local areas and around the world to experience the holistic and alternative lifestyle practised at the centre to understand that the greatest pleasure lies in simple living, the mantra for Greening the Mind.
