The Vedanta Wisdom University
Today, education is seen as a mere means of livelihood. The basic principles and values needed in life are neglected. The best mentor to humanity is an education that gives self-motivation, self-direction, and self-correction. It is the most powerful tool of humanity. Education prepares us for life and moulds us into well-rounded individuals. This fosters a golden era referred to in the Indian Puranas as Satya Yuga and when this education is neglected, it propels us to pralaya or destruction.
About the University
A proposed university on a 25-acre campus in Raigad, Maharashtra will offer fully residential UG, PG, and doctoral programs rooted in the Vedanta system of liberal education, along with diploma, short-term, and certificate courses.

The eco-friendly campus will feature solar panels and a waste disposal system.
The Academic Advisory Council
World's first University based on the Vedanta curriculum
The team at the Vedanta Wisdom Trust in Mumbai led by the Managing Trustee – Dr. Janki Santoke is building the World’s First Vedanta University that will educate students on “How to Live Life” as enshrined in our great ancient scriptures; Vedanta. The Vedanta Wisdom University is being proposed for imparting the right education and to teach students the art of balanced living.
Dr. Janki Santoke studied with Swami Parthasarathy for many decades. She also holds a Ph. D in Philosophy. She is key in envisioning the Vedanta Wisdom University. Her motive is to encourage the younger generation to live a productive and happy life by following the principles of Vedanta.

Vedanta-Enriched Careers
After completing their studies, students can pursue any career—be it entrepreneurship, the arts, politics, counseling, writing, or innovation. Equipped with the principles of Vedanta, such as clarity, service, and dexterity, they add deep value to their professions and cultivate a balanced personality of head, heart, and hand.
Need for Professional Vedanta Educators:
While anyone can currently teach Vedanta without formal credentials, this is comparable to practicing medicine without a degree. Establishing professional qualifications in Vedanta is essential for upholding teaching standards, especially as the subject gains importance in mainstream and school-level education.
The Cost
The total project cost is currently estimated at INR 108 Crores. The Land cost will be about INR 5 crores, construction and interiors will be about INR 88 crores and the balance of INR 15 crores will be operational expenses.
Concerned citizens are coming together to help raise INR 5 crores through crowdfunding. Support this campaign and help us take the first step in making Vedanta University a reality.
We welcome you to join us in our efforts.
For humanity.
For our future generations.
