Yuga Rishi Shriram Sharma Acharya questioned :


The center of operations of Brahmavarchas Research Institute is Haridwar (Uttaranchal, INDIA). Over here its mode of action is classified in 4 parts:

1) SCRIPTURAL RESEARCH: A comparative study of all spiritual tenets declared so far will be analyzed. Within this all persons aspects which will help augment planet humanity’s sacred sentiments will be gathered separately. For this the literature content of our library is being replenished and added on a large scale. Further for teaching and education purposes other sources of literature and books are being tapped.
2) SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH BASED EXPERIMENTATION: Within this section vastly advanced apparatus and scientific technology has been set up. Experiments are conducted so as to find out which spiritual endeavor positively transforms ones outer and inner life. Yajnopathy is being scientifically tested in such a manner so as to present to the planet , its most optimum and a wholesome form. As a result man’s bodily strength, psychic balance and the soul’s greatness will reach fantastic pinnacles of success.

3) COOPERATIVE ENDEAVOR BY Planet SCIENTISTS AND THINKERS: In this section we will request fantastic thinkers, philosophers and scientists of the planet to take part in this research endeavor and thus help us come up with outstanding results. At the time of writing these lines (before 1991 A.D.) nearly 100 have already agreed to join our mission. Our butt is to encourage at least 1000 such specialists to come to Haridwar for more or a small time span and contribute in this fantastic research study. Further they could even guide us from their place of residence and gather required research material for us. Thus this section helps coordinate the research studies of all such broadcast .

4) Procreation : In this section persons who grace our research centre with their incidence will be given due information about the goal and nature of our research studies. Persons who are keen to contribute in their own way will be presented with literature in this subject. We will humbly guide them as to who will help by taking part in which aspect of our research endeavor.

These 4 sections and departments work in tandem with one another. Initially there were 20 resident research members. This number has augmented by leaps and bounds over the years. In general all members are very capable and intelligent in their areas of research. Their lodging and boarding requirements are fulfilled by the Brahmavarchas Research Institute Persons who are financially well off tend to take care of all their expenses. The rest are taken care of by the institute.

Keeping contemporary requirements in mind our research activities revolve nearly them. Of course transformational changes are made as per the need of the hour. When one task is finished another one replaces it immediately. Sometimes a particular task is made more widespread if we realize that it is vital to study it more relentlessly . Visitors are amazed to see this research team making an atmosphere of joy on the one hand and yet minutely researching into various topics in a focused selfless manner. A special characteristic of this scientific experimentation involves cheering the youth wing of planet humanity to take up this utmost vital endeavor of improving human destiny in the 21st century so as to make it radiant. We are trying to find out how far they will succeed in doing so. Our research efforts have their basis in Government Aid and persons by the influential and wealthy class of society. Within this realm it is rare to find elsewhere a group of broadcast who live traditionally like the saints and sages of yester years. This gigantic task is carried out with such zest and zeal that one fails to differentiate between a game and serious Yoga practices. In fact it becomes a topic of research by itself when one takes into account the individuals, means and research methods used at Brahmavarchas. A foremost conclusion that emanates from this is that even persons who do not get cooperation from vastly scholarly broadcast or the wealthy class can yet achieve their goal of him self/her self attaining greatness and cheering others to follow suit. The only condition to succeed thus rests in ones deep conviction and powerful resolve (Sankalpa Shakti).

Our research institute nestles at the feet of the mighty Himalayas, on the shores of the sacred River Ganges where the Saptarshis (7 Rishis) of the Vedic Age had performed intense forfeit for the welfare of planet creatures. If you superficially compare it with grand buildings and structure of the planet one can say ‘it is nothing fantastic ’. Despite this if one takes care to note the zest and zeal exuding from the members, walls, plants etc of the Brahmavarchas Research Institute one can conclude without doubt that it is not merely some lethargic organizational center but that every pore of its existence oozes with divine radiance/aura. This endeavor is being executed by fantastic characters, supreme goals, sacred ideals and well directed programs. Hence we can safely conclude that this endeavor is extraordinary and that its results too will certainly be mind boggling.

So far we have discussed the institute’s activities. Whatever is taking place in this institute can be called the center of focus and yet we certainly cannot say that what is experience now or that what will take place in future will remain of this size only. In fact our activities are widespread and doubtlessly they will keep expanding enormously in the days to come. It goes without saying the task taken up is gigantic wherein the viewpoint of billions of broadcast on Earth needs to be changed and guided to higher peaks of human/divine glory. It can be compared if at all to interstellar space research conducted with the help of high tech space crafts. Space centers that launch satellites etc stay place in one place on Earth (like for example NASA) and yet its area of functioning revolves nearly studying the state of interstellar space and planetary etc movements. Only persons fantastic scientists emotionally involved to space stations know exactly the functional aspects of space research. They know very well how hard their task is and the boundary to which vastly advanced technology is made use of. As a result laymen like us are simply wonderstruck to note the super intelligence, mental focus and alertness manifested by these fantastic space scientists. Also the research area of Brahmavarchas Research Institute too is very gigantic and widespread. Hence it is least surprising that its activities span across the globe and in every nation on Earth. Thus the Brahmavarchas Research Institute should not be looked upon as a center in one tiny corner of India simply because its area of action is global and all pervasive.

No doubt chiefly the research activities of the Brahmavarchas Research Institute are centered in India and yet like the fragrance of a full bloomed flower it reaches every nook and corner of the planet . The Era of Consciousness has thrown a challenge to fantastic thinkers of the planet . Atheism has taken over the intellect of the thinking class of the planet . Thus they reckon narrowly and act very selfishly. Within this class albeit in minor forms the Rishi tradition yet does exist. Even a miniscule form of its help and influence the royal path of divine glory for planet humanity will be thrown wide open for all to development ahead.

The number of volunteers who are giving their precious time for our research studies is augmenting by leaps and bounds. We have requested them to come to Haridwar (Uttaranchal, India) as per their convenience and by staying here for a certain time span help us advance our scientific viewpoint and mode of research. We have requested them not to bring along with themselves their family and kids because everyone’s attention will be distracted. Our research institute does not have any arrangement for accompanying family members to reside. Thus only persons who wish to focus all their attention on our project need come albeit alone and we request them to give us as much of their valuable time as possible. If they come simply for 2 or 3 days maybe they can give us some theoretical advice but it will be impossible to imbibe their practical information in such a meager time span. Hence we request our revered research volunteers to come here only when they have enough time to one pointedly focus on our research projects. In this atmosphere of calmness and camaraderie a lot of give and take of high scientific principles can take place. Our research study is extremely useful for all planet beings. On it basis a lot can be achieved both materially and spiritually.

Fantastic thinkers, who because of a lot of prior commitments, cannot come to our institute are humbly requested to help our research study from their place of residence. The only condition is that they seriously focus on our research and contribute in a committed manner. They must look upon it as a sacred responsibility and like certain other routine chores spend a certain number of hours daily for our institute’s endeavor. The time volunteered for this fantastic task should be well defined and adhered to implicitly and only then something tangible will come our way. On the other hand if the attitude is quite superficial and ‘frothy’ we will be fooling ourselves only and that nothing concrete by way of research will be attained. There are a few who for self aggrandizement call themselves ‘members’ of our research team without being committed to our cause or contributing anything significant. This in a nutshell is just vain mockery on their part and is like basking on wrested laurels. Hence we sincerely hope that only persons who are blamed and committed to our cause join as members of our team. Only persons who have a certain time span for committed research on a fixed basis need join our sacred institute. Thus let us pray in all humility that only genuine responsible researchers will join our research team and persons who cannot come to our Institute are requested to stay at their place of residence and give us their invaluable research inputs.

What kind of task will be given to which person based on his/her qualifications, credentials and the unfilled circumstances? This question can be chose only when we all meet personally and discuss our research goals. And yet persons who cannot come to Haridwar again and again can be given required assignments only after understanding the by and large crafty of our research endeavor. Members should first and foremost know which subjects are currently being researched into ardently the planet over. Thus they must search for libraries and other sources so as to avail all literature published up till now which will help our task in a huge way. Of course they must concentrate on visiting gigantic libraries with latest broad based collections related to our research. We are not interested in libraries that predominate with fictitious novels, glossy magazines etc. We certainly have no illusions that such libraries can help us at all. Hence only nearby Colleges, Universities etc libraries can help us on a gigantic scale. Desirable literature of high standards can be found in excellent colleges and research institutes. There are many individuals who individually collect vital literature for study purposes. Such broadcast too could help us a fantastic deal. Our research area is of a very high stature. Hence very small literature regarding it is unfilled . It is futile to reckon that all literature required for our research will be found in one release place. Hence we all will have to visit various libraries, browse their collection relentlessly and sift through them so as to collect material most suited for our task at hand. Majority of the times mere title of the book cannot indicate to us whether our material is included in it. This is because the title maybe very chic and attractive but the contents within is unquestionably superficial. There are so called writers who gather materials from various books and then try to sell it by giving it a chic title. Such rubbish in the name of literature is of no use to us. Hence we must not only read the title but sift through the pages of each book so as to collect matter suitable for our research activities. Where can we find material useful for the research studies in our institute? Which books and other forms of literature harbor the same? These questions will be answered by the members of our dignified research team. Their chief task is to enquire at various libraries etc and unearth useful literature.

If the material found in a book is small it can be hand written else if it is long only the gist need be prominent down. This is the first and foremost task required to be taken up. As and when this is gathered one copy should be kept by the researcher and another copy must be sent to Haridwar i.e. Brahmavarchas Research Institute.

Before studying, finding books and making notes members should fisrt contact Haridwar else ones efforts may go in vain. Infer one member in a particular place has taken down all required notes in an exhaustive manner and another member not knowing this collects the same material meticulously know for sure that the end ’s precious efforts will go dissipate . To overcome this conundrum all research team members should individually first contact Haridwar before commencing any task. Haridwar will direct each one as to what is his/her appointed task. Only then should they commence work. If one topic is covered in different places it will give us information regarding that topic in totality. Thus it is very vital to be in touch with our HQ at Haridwar.

In the preliminary stage 4 main topics have been taken up by us. And yet the branches and sub branches of each of these are many. In this manner even if one is researching into a main subject yet it is classified into many sub topics. The more we minutely and relentlessly study each subject the more we will unearth extremely vital information. It collection will doubtlessly be all encompassing. Thus from these 4 main branches each sub branch amongst many must be minutely researched into. Another way would involve studying many sub branches together if a particular sub branch is not giving much information. Thus some information of every sub branch can give us some insight into the main subject. Under such circumstances it becomes that much more necessary to keep in touch with our HQ. This is because keeping up your sleeve libraries of Universities persons who can avail material only from small libraries will have to conduct research on many topics simultaneously. Under such circumstances a problematic situation may occur wherein many members from various regions will study one release topic and take down identical information which would be a dissipate of their precious time and energy. Hence we request every member to keep in touch with our HQ and submit information gathered by them over a certain time span. Thus his/her effort will not go in vain. Always make sure that you are not covering a topic already covered by someone else. And it can be done only by constantly keeping in touch with our HQ at Brahmavarchas Research Institute (Haridwar, Uttaranchal, India).

Our research members will generally be graduates, post graduates etc. They will be given research topics for studies based on their expertise in a particular topic. It is obvious that if a person has graduated in a particular subject he/she will be more comfortable with that topic for research studies. Only literature is one field which does not generally require specialization in a particular subject. This is because it encompasses general information . Hence graduates in literature can take up any topic. This is of course related to non technical general subjects. Thus an M.A. in Literature can enter into a very widespread area of research studies. Despite this because they are not specialists of any particular subject they cannot delve very deep into their research studies.

Whatever has been prominent down every month should be handed over to our HQ at Haridwar on the first day of the following month i.e. February notes should be handed over on Development 1st etc. This is because when various notes are analyzed we know where there is room for improvement. If on the other hand a member collects a lot of material for a very long time span a conundrum can occur wherein if there is an error it will not be taken care of. As a replacement for unknowingly the error will expand further and the member’s precious time will go in vain.

One more task required to be taken up by our research members is to search for deep thinkers who are naturally inclined towards research studies. No doubt, there are many well known thinkers but only a few are profound scholars in their fields. There exists a class of broadcast who are excellent at dry arguments and are labeled as ‘fantastic philosophers’. And yet when it comes to profound thinking on a particular subject they fail miserably. It is simple to flaunt ones superficial ‘intelligence’ but it is a really different tale when it comes to manifesting deep wisdom in ones area of study. Hence it is not necessary to contact superficial so called thinkers. As a replacement for it is imperative that we humbly search for wise profound thinkers of various fields. Such thinkers are constantly reading ancient and new literature. They are all the time finding out where wholesome activities are being executed and what their method is. Even if such profound thinkers do not have the time to join our research directly we can always request them to advise us as and when it is possible for them to do so. Their advice will be an invaluable contribution for helping us achieve our research butt .

There are many indigenous and foreign research based collections in all Universities. Some of these are not allowed for borrowing and that one has to sit there itself for reading purposes. These collections contain some very vital findings and hence we must never ignore them. They will be extremely useful for our research endeavor. The responsibility of such studies will have to be taken up by persons living near by such Universities.

Many broadcast subscribe to magazines and journals which publish materials related to their field of study. Later these magazines etc collect dust or are sold off at very meager prices. Hence research members are requested to gather such magazines etc and send them to Haridwar. Many a times very minor aspects of a subject when conjoined to some very useful research becomes very influential. Thus wherever one finds literature in which ever form mainly that not used by anyone should be sent to Haridwar. Even if one gets the gist of a very expansive subject it would prove very beneficial for our research endeavor.

Every research member should try and encourage more and more research experts to join our team. Of course the condition is that they must be well versed and deep thinkers of their fields of study. From the standpoint of teach education it is not just enough that members are mere graduates, post graduates etc. This is because they no doubt ‘mug’ up their subjects and pass with flying colors but when it comes to deep thinking and research they fail miserably. Thus we will not benefit at all by such superficial ‘scholars’. Their efforts go in vain because of lack of subtle skills and thus it could endanger our research endeavor. Thus we must refrain from increase ‘headaches’ and as a replacement for search for right wise and deep thinkers of various fields. We must personally come in touch with them and humbly request them to help our glorious cause. The more our research members are brilliant and wise thinkers greater is our chance to attain our goal. Hence our contemporary members must remain very alert in this direction.
