About us
The ANVITA Initiative
Founding Philosophy
ANVITA is a seminal and foundational initiative towards a personal, socio-cultural and informational paradigm designed at transformation of the human self through education, healthcare, individual refinement, active people-engagements and spiritual mentoring.
The ANVITA Initiative seeks to assist in evolution, progress, sustenance and survival by emphasizing and acting on our interdependence as beings and entities and the interconnectedness of our actions.Our endeavours can succeed only if we stay in harmony and move in symphony. Each of us needs to bond with the rest of us and pulsate in resonance with the natural scheme of things.
ANVITA recognizes that enlightened actions and empowered contributions from all involved will lead to increased productivity, harmony, togetherness and love.
The word;
the meaning
Anvita in Sanskrit offers that no physical sound, symbol, entity or moment has any meaning by itself; they attain sense and meaning and derive significance only with reference to the rest of existence.
In sum, ANVITA seeks to fill the gaps of life through the knowing and experiencing of its underlying meaning and glory.
