Welcome to Shastri Memorial Foundation.

Let us tell you what we are doing here. We are already in the middle of the first decade of the new century. Sure, we are enjoying the fruits of modern science, right from fancy camera-phones all the way up to premium-branded lifestyle drugs that add spice and pleasure to each moment of our existence. We simply can’t resist asking for more. And more. And we keep getting more. And more. But at the end of it all, are we becoming happier and healthier? Are we becoming better human beings?

In the words of Vernon Coleman, an expert on mind matters, “in some ways, largely material, we are richer than our ancestors. In other ways - largely spiritual - we are infinitely poorer. We have created a world in which we cannot cope without artificial aids. Loneliness, anxiety and depression are now more common than at any time in the history of mankind”. One need not be an intellectual or a philosopher to recall countless occasions in our own lives to attest what Coleman said. But then, why is it so? Why can’t we, with all our cleverness and smartness, work out a mindset package for ourselves that will guarantee inner peace and balance?

We at Shastri Memorial Foundation believe that it is possible for us to find answers for these questions. We also believe that these answers should be customized for the individual as well as synergized for social behavior.
